Culture and Creativity

Volunteering Teams in high priority areas are large scale, high impact projects. They involve young people from at least two different countries and will be short-term interventions that address common European challenges in policy areas defined each year at the EU level.

Applications can:

  1. Contribute to the improvement of the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people, including those affected by chronic or life-threatening diseases (e.g. cancer);
  2. Contribute to building inclusive societies through protecting vulnerable groups, such as those with drug-alcohol dependence, the elderly and children, migrants, those who are homeless etc. from the impact of Covid-19 impact and other diseases.

Applications can also provide networking and exchange activities to:

  1. Build European cooperation to strengthen the capacity of the solidarity sector to tackle common European challenges, such as health, and the protection of vulnerable groups;
  2. Raise awareness of applicant’s activities and outcomes through campaigns, promotion, information dissemination, and public discussions.
