🌍 What is the European Solidarity Corps (ESC)? The ESC is the EU programme that funds young people aged 18–30 (up to 35 for humanitarian aid) to volunteer on solidarity projects across Europe, with travel, accommodation, food, insurance and monthly pocket money covered. This overview explains who can join, the project types, durations and how to apply. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc
🔷 Activity Details
Description
The volunteer will participate to activities linked to : -helping the Roma community in the city (helping the French social workers by interpreting conversations and translating documents to facilitate communication with non French speaking residents) -reducing the digital divide and helping people to have access to phones and computers -organizing Romanian language workshops with French social workers
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Are provided to our volunteers : accommodation (single equipped flat in a residence with other young French people), pocket money for your own expenses (400€/month), food money (300€/month) and transportation (to and from your home country + a transportation card for tramways and buses in Nantes).
Training during the activity
During the first 3 months after their arrival, the volunteers will follow an intensive French course in order to be quickly ready to evolve in a French-speaking environment. They will be under the supervision of a tutor and colleagues during the activities, who will train them to be able to carry their missions effectively. Volunteers are registered to the seminars organized by the French National Agency (arrival and mid-term trainings) where they meet with other volunteers from the region.
Participant profile
We are looking for Romanian speakers, with interpersonal skills, motivated to get involved in this particular project and more globally in a solidarity project. We do not require volunteers to know French, but they should be able to communicate in English.

This guide compares age, funding, duration and application route, and includes a "choose this if…" decision guide. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-vs-erasmus

🩺 What insurance do ESC volunteers get? Every ESC volunteer gets free group insurance (currently Henner) that complements the EHIC and covers medical, accident, hospitalisation, liability and travel. This guide explains what's insured, the coverage period (home-to-return plus two months) and how your organisation enrols you. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-insurance
🌍 What is ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering? It's the ESC strand (EVHAC) that sends people aged 18–35 to work full-time in countries outside the EU, after mandatory two-stage training. This guide details the training, the application steps and what's covered. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-humanitarian-aid-volunteering
💰 Is ESC volunteering fully funded? Yes for core costs: travel is reimbursed by distance band (€28–1,735+), and accommodation, food, local transport, insurance, language support and daily pocket money are covered.
