SHAPE: Solidarity, Human rights and Active Participation for Europe
GREEK ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS - SEGE
Thessaloniki, Greece
Description
This volunteering activity brings together young people from different European countries who are active in civil society organisations and members of the same network. Volunteers will work as a team to examine the situation of vulnerable groups in their countries and at EU level, drawing on existing research and their own experience. Through discussion, joint analysis and non-formal learning methods, they will exchange good practices, identify community needs and design joint initiatives that promote inclusion, equality and active participation. Volunteers will learn how EU policy priorities connect to local social challenges, while building skills in teamwork, critical thinking, intercultural communication and planning. Accommodation, food, local transport and pocket money are covered by the programme.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accommodation will be provided in shared apartments, fully covered by the programme. Volunteers will receive a food allowance of 7 EUR per day, paid by bank transfer before their arrival. In addition, each volunteer will receive pocket money of 7 EUR per day, also paid by bank transfer before their arrival.
