Training Course  GEN Z and new generation of European volunteers  

27-31 Mai 2024 | Thessaloniki, Greece 

The Hellenic National Agency of Erasmus +/ Youth & Sports and European Solidarity Corps is hosting a training course together with the National Agency of Poland and SALTO ESC. This is an activity which is part of the SNAC Volunteering

The aim of the activity is to support former ESC volunteers to demonstrate their perspective towards the new trends in volunteering and look at how ESC serves the needs of young people.

What is this activity about?

It can’t go unnoticed that even though the world has changed much for last 20 years, the shape of volunteering activities (EVS, E+ volunteering, European Solidarity Corps) remains almost the same.

We are witnessing a dynamic shift with the new generation of volunteers, who bring a fresh perspective, unique demands and diverse aspirations. This evolution prompts us to question: does our programme align with their current needs and future expectations? How do young Europeans wish to contribute and engage in today’s rapidly changing world? In what ways can a programme that supports volunteering abroad evolve to better serve the needs of young Europeans and the future of Europe?

GEN Z   and new generation of European volunteers is a transnational Networking activity under the European Solidairty Corps, as a part of the LTA  (SNAC) “Volunteering”, which aims to gather  former  ESC participants from all Programme Countries to explore the changing generations of volunteers, their motivation to join a volunteering  project  as well as to reflect on their needs on which the support system should be based on in order to enhance the Volunteering opportunities within the ESC.

This activity will provide the space to ex- volunteers to evaluate and share their perceptions towards the impact of the activities that they participated to, the challenges they face during their projects, discuss on new trends on volunteering projects while showcase the ideal scheme of a volunteering project.

The EuroPeers network and all members fall into the relevant target group and are invited to apply to this training opportunity until latest 8th of April!
