My participation in the European Solidarity Corps.

My participation in the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is a personal and professional achievement.

My participation in ESC gave me the opportunity to develop, learn, expand my knowledge and embrace all the fundamental values ​​derived from it. I have participated in many programmes supported by the European Solidarity Corps. The main reason I actively participate in various projects, whether as a volunteer, mentor or trainer, is my "thirst" for action, volunteering, social contribution and self-expression.

I have recently been an active member in the coordination group in Solidarity Projects and as a mentor in a volunteering program between Greece and Spain. The experiences I get? Countless! I gained opportunities and knowledge I would not have had if the European Solidarity Corps didn't exist. I had the chance to interact with young people and provide them with the opportunity for free expression, creative engagement and highlighting new elements in the local community. At the same time, I contributed to promoting the active participation and democratic citizenship of rural youngsters in the effort of European construction and in cultivating their European identity.

I am proud that I have contributed to the young beneficiaries to develop individual and social skills, learning within the framework of non-formal education and cultivating feelings of altruism, solidarity, volunteering and social contribution.

Of course, all this could not happen without the support of the Association of Active Youths of Florina (OENEF), an organization that supports the youth to the fullest, and I thank them warmly.
