You built something in your community. You took responsibility, gathered a team, and made something happen. Now imagine meeting the people who did the same thing — in different countries, with different challenges, and different results. That is exactly what this seminar is about.
Fundacja Rozwoju Systemu Edukacji (Polish National Agency), in cooperation with the European Solidarity Corps Resource Centre (SALTO), is organising the International Solidarity Project Meet-Up 2026 — a seminar bringing together 60 young people who are implementing or have already implemented a local Solidarity Project funded by the European Solidarity Corps.
What Is This Event About?
A Solidarity Project is an activity initiated, developed, and implemented by young people themselves — giving a group of at least five young people a chance to express solidarity by taking responsibility and committing to bring positive change in their local community. This seminar brings those young people together for an international exchange of ideas, experiences, and inspiration.
What Participants Will Have the Opportunity To Do
🎤 Present their own Solidarity Project concept to peers from across Europe
📚 Implement their Solidarity Project in high quality through peer learning from already completed projects
🌐 Become part of the international European Solidarity Corps community
🇪🇺 Connect local initiatives with a European dimension — and feel the European spirit
🔭 Explore future possibilities in Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps
🎉 Celebrate successes, inspire others, and gain new inspiration for project implementation or future activities
