Please note that the total amount of time spent by a young person in European Solidarity Corps volunteering activities must not exceed 12 months. Activities carried out under Erasmus+ volunteering/European Voluntary Service count towards the total of 12 months allowed. Equality and inclusiveness are part of the core values of EU and WeWorld. The European Solidarity Corps initiative provides opportunities that are accessible for all. However, some people cannot benefit equally from these opportunities because they face various barriers. Inclusion of people facing access barriers or having fewer opportunities is a key objective of European Solidarity Corps Program, aiming at establishing a dedicated framework for inclusion measures.
