deskrizzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni

My organisation in Fjaler kommune, Frivilligsentralen/ Fjaler Voluntary Service was establised in 1995, is one of 460 same services in Norway, but with different contents and target groups. But the main aim for all is to act act with volunteeer actions for everyone and not as substitute to paid work. The motto and vision is solidarity between people and together helping each other to make including boroughs and places to meet and stay. Our activity suits very well to ESC`s vision that promotes inclusion and diversity, aims to incorporate green practices in projects and encourages environmentally sustainable and responsible behaviour among participants and participating organisations. The programme also promotes participation of young people in democratic processes and civic engagement.
This year’s additional thematic area in ESC is health. ESC will mobilise young people in projects addressing health challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery.
