What is the European Solidarity Corps (ESC)?
The European Solidarity Corps is a funding programme of the European Union that creates opportunities for young people to undertake a short or long-term voluntary placement with the costs paid. Projects can be of community interest, in the social, environmental, or cultural field. For long-term volunteering projects a sending organisation is required and SCI Austria can act for you as such.
To participate in ESC you must be aged between 18 to 30 years old and be motivated by supporting important causes, discovering other cultures and living closely with people from other countries. Volunteers abroad receive funding to cover accommodation, food, travel, insurance and pocket money through their hosting organisation.

Convent Centre is a Social Promotion Association (APS), founded in 2002, promoting social inclusion, cultural exchange and personal development through educational, cultural and social activities.
The project aims to use multilingualism as a tool to empower intercultural dialogue. We want to create a physical space where volunteers can meet local people and contribute to building a more tolerant and inclusive society in Amantea. Daily courses for all ages are offered, together with workshops for kids and adults that aim to make learning foreign languages more accessible through non-formal methodologies.
Volunteers will be involved in:
- Creating language tandems, workshops and events about multilingualism and environmental protection
- Sharing EU experiences and encouraging local young people to join EU programmes
- Managing social media and reporting
- Developing a Personal Project
