DESCRIPTION

A two-week European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering project will take place in Berchum, Hagen, hosted by East-West-East Germany e.V. The project will bring together young volunteers aged 18-30 from Germany, Georgia, Finland, Greece and Ukraine. During the project, volunteers will help organise and run activities for children in the local community. These activities may include games, creative workshops, sports and simple sustainability-related activities. The programme will be based on non-formal education methods and will focus on creativity, teamwork, participation and intercultural exchange.

🤝 What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering — and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood — and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
