What is it about?
What is it about?
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) offers young people aged 18 to 30 the opportunity to volunteer in their own country or abroad for a period ranging from 2 weeks to 12 months.
Volunteering is an unpaid activity; however, the program covers travel, accommodation, subsistence, training, and insurance costs, and also provides a monthly allowance for personal expenses.
It is an opportunity to gain experience and new skills, contribute to solidarity-based projects, and participate actively in the community.
To take part, you must register on the ESC portal, where young people can search for projects and contact participating organizations.
Individual volunteering
Individual volunteering
Individual volunteering can be carried out in the participant's own country of residence or in another country. Furthermore, it allows young people to acquire experience, skills and competences for their personal, educational, social, civic and professional development, exercising an active citizenship.
The young volunteers do not receive a salary, but all expenses related to their voluntary service are covered by the programme (travel, accommodation, maintenance, training, insurance), and they receive a monthly allowance for living expenses.

I am one of the international volunteers in Turkey. Here I participate in two different projects. One of them is La Tribu. I help boys and girls with their homework. And the other, I'm at the Mercè Lleixà Library in Roquetes. I receive books, check them into the system, put them on related shelves, etc. And lastly, I am also doing English speaking meetings with local people.

I come from France. After finishing my art history studies, I wanted to go abroad for a new experience. Volunteering at ESC is perfect because it allows me to discover a country and its culture, meet new people, learn languages and feel useful. I am a volunteer with the Acacia-Arrels Organization. My mission is to look after children and teenagers after school, for example by helping them with their homework or organizing activities with them.

I am Kurdish and I am participating in a volunteer project to meet different people, cultures and languages. Currently, I am involved in organic agriculture studies at Torre de Sant Antoni in Jesús (Tortosa) and Brot del Sud. There is a magnificent nature! Being here has already given me a lot.

I am a European volunteer in Denmark, at a school where students from all over the world spend a stay learning different subjects such as art, ceramics, music, gardening, building sustainable houses, etc. As a volunteer I have different tasks: gardening and permaculture projects, I support the school's team of teachers and, in short, I live and share time every week with students in all those necessary matters. It is a very enriching experience!

I'm from Germany, I'm doing a gap year after school to live a new life experience and meet new people. I also want to learn about a new culture and support people. For this reason ESC is perfect for me. I volunteer for Cáritas Interparroquial de Tortosa. I help sort second-hand clothes and with community meals, among others. I am constantly interacting with people, which helps me learn the language and their culture. I was looking forward to this experience!

This year I started my internship at Obre't Ebre. My main tasks as an administrative assistant are to offer support to the various Obre't Ebre projects such as Entre Mots, European Solidarity Corps, TLN or KA2. I carry out different tasks, of all kinds: filing documents, registering, keeping track of invoices, customer service... My experience is being very positive because I'm learning a lot about the administrative field. I look forward to learning many more!

In the youth exchange there is a lot of bonding with the other participants, since we work with the same purpose and purpose. We interact with everyone through the activities that the association organizes for us, and this and having a proactive attitude means that we discover that we have many things in common.
