🇬🇷 ESC Volunteering in Greece 🎨 Graphic Design and Social Media for Microgreens Healthy Eating 🌱

Description

Do you design, film or edit? Spend December and January in Athens, making content that helps young people eat better and grow their own food. EVEC Athens teaches young people to grow microgreens, small healthy greens anyone can grow at home, and shares this as free online content: see @evecathens, @evec.microgreens, microgreens.org.gr and evec.org.gr.

4 places, 1 Dec 2026 – 28 Jan 2027 (59 days):

Graphic design (2): visuals for our websites, guides and posts, plus carousels, templates and Academy certificates in our brand style.

Social media (2): with our team, plan, film, edit and publish Reels, carousels and stories, and help answer comments.

Your week: 30 hours, Mon–Fri, 10:00–15:00 at our office in Zografou plus 1 hour a day of Greek online. 2 free days plus Greek public holidays.

In your letter: choose a role, add links to your work, give one specific idea for our Instagram, and name your supporting organisation if you have one. Write it yourself; never pay an agent.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

A room in our volunteers' apartment in Zografou, near the office. You may share a bedroom with another volunteer.

Pocket money 7 EUR a day and a food allowance of 7 EUR a day, for 61 days (59 + 2 travel days).

Travel: you buy your tickets and we pay you back after each trip, up to the ESC amount for your distance (for example 309 EUR for 500–1,999 km, 395 EUR for 2,000–2,999 km).

ESC insurance (Henner), together with your European Health Insurance Card.

Training during the activity

A welcome training at EVEC when you arrive, a mentor and a task supervisor. A free online Greek course on the Online Language Support platform (a short language test before you start is compulsory).

You learn to grow microgreens yourself and work side by side with our team on real content. You can also run a small personal project, such as free classes in your mother tongue.

At the end you get a Youthpass, and published work you can use in your portfolio.

Participant profile

You are 18–30 on 1 December 2026 and legally live in an EU country other than Greece, or in Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia or Türkiye. If you need a visa for Greece, there is not enough time before 30 November.

You can show what you made: a portfolio, an account you run, or a few designs or videos. School and personal projects count. You speak English well enough for an international team, and you can travel on 30 November and stay until 29 January.

Young people with fewer opportunities are especially welcome: tell us about any obstacles, and we will plan support with you.

Next steps: interviews 20–24 Nov, decisions by 25 Nov. You need a supporting organisation with an ESC Quality Label in your country of residence; we can help you find one. Your place is confirmed when the agreement is signed, by 27 Nov. Arrival 30 Nov.
