Participant profile
We are looking for young people aged 18–29 who are EU citizens or legally residing in an EU Member State.
Participants should be motivated to take part in a solidarity project focused on social inclusion and community engagement. We welcome young people who are open-minded, proactive, willing to work in a team, and interested in creating digital content, participating in local activities, and engaging with people from different backgrounds. No previous experience is required—motivation, willingness to learn, and a positive attitude are the most important qualities.
In accordance with the European Solidarity Corps Programme, this project is open to all eligible young people and particularly encourages the participation of young people with fewer opportunities, including those who are not in employment, education or training (NEETs). We are committed to providing the necessary support to ensure an inclusive and meaningful volunteering experience for all participants.
