European Solidarity Corps

The European Solidarity Corps offers opportunities for young people and organisations to engage in solidarity activities in a variety of areas.

The programme fosters solidarity in European society, engaging young people and organisations in accessible and high-quality activities. It offers young people opportunities to help resolve challenging situations across Europe and beyond, and to address unmet societal needs which cannot be addressed by other types of solidarity programmes. The EU added value of the programme derives mainly from the cross-border character of its activities, complementing those developed at national and regional levels.

The European Solidarity Corps Leaflet

Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas have a dedicated section into the Leaflet.

Volunteering Teams in high priority areas is one of the actions under European Solidarity Corps. This action supports large scale, high impact projects supporting voluntary activities carried out by teams of young people. The activities have a specific focus on the thematic priorities that the EU sets out each year.

You can either find general information or examples of good practices, from the organisations that have already successfully implemented a Volunteering Teams project.

Find more about European Solidarity Corps by visiting the European Youth Portal.

The 2021 Call for Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas projects closes on October 5th 2021 at 5pm (Brussels time). The online presentation, for anyone who has missed it out, is available for consultation.

Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas

Volunteering Teams in high priority areas are large scale, high impact projects supporting voluntary activities carried out by young people from at least two different countries coming together to express solidarity by implementing short-term interventions that address common European challenges in policy areas defined each year at EU level.

This year’s priority is focused on COVID-19 impact and recovery, particularly through supporting the health and social care systems with activities tackling prevention, promotion and support in the field of health; addressing major health challenges (i.e. life-threatening illnesses like cancer) and promoting health, healthy lifestyle, physical activity and well-being overall.

For the purpose of this call, applications for funding could:

• contribute to the improvement of health and well-being of vulnerable people, including persons affected by chronic or life-threatening diseases (e.g. cancer);
• contribute to building inclusive societies.

How To Apply

The 2021 Call is still open and your organisation can apply through the EACEA website.

Prior to application, it might be useful to go through the EACEA informative session, as such provides organisations with information on the proposals submission procedure in e-grant.
