Activity description

The project is promoted and developed by YUPI. YUPI was born in 2008 with the mission of empowering young people to be active and responsible citizens in building a more tolerant, inclusive and sustainable society. This is an opportunity to join the YUPI team and help in organising and coordinating some projects that will occur in June and July, as well as helping with the social media communication and promotion of those events/projects. To be an ESC volunteer, let's send at geral@yupi.pt your CV, a motivation letter and a short video (max 1min30s) where you introduce yourself and your motivation!
