Description
Inclusion 3 is an ESC (European Solidarity Corps) project. They will work with young people with ages between 11 y/o - 18 y/o. The volunteering period is of maximum 11 months, in which the days travelled & spent in RO represent the activities. These activities will take place between Sept 2026 - July 2027. This project pursues 2 objectives: 1. Inclusion and equal opportunities for disadvantaged young people (NEET'S), this objective will respond to the need to increase the level of quality education, improve school dropout, increase motivation and self-confidence. 2. Citizens' Rights and Anti-Discrimination Practices: this objective is aimed at disadvantaged young people with whom we have been working for 10 years in the communities of Ilfov County. We want to increase and improve the level of trust and civic education. Through this project, we wish to bring together a number of 4 volunteers: 1 RO & 3 EU.
