Let’s Work Together Internationally explores how European Solidarity Corps Volunteering activities can be used with specific target group, young people who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET).

Let’s Work Together Internationally activity aims to create a space for networking and establishing new co-operation between organisations who holds European Solidarity Corps Quality Label for volunteering activities and are interested to target volunteering projects to NEET youngsters.

Building partnerships and learning about the possibilities

The aim of the Let’s Work Together Internationally activity is to establish and build up partnerships among organisations to co-operate in the future volunteering project that are focusing on NEET-youngsters. During the activity we also get familiar with elements of good and strong partnership and share the understanding why it is important, when working with this specific target group.

Participants learn the possibilities that European Solidarity Corp program, especially the volunteering activity has to offer. During the activity we will explore different types of volunteering projects (long term, short term, team volunteering, solidarity project) and understand how these can be used with this target. Specific focus will be put to the different supporting elements/ finance instruments that the program has, when working with NEET youngsters.

With all of this, we aim to encourage and boost creation of new partnerships, and hopefully fruitfully cooperation in the future!
