The European Solidarity Corps is the new European Union initiative offering young people opportunities to volunteer or work in projects in their own country or abroad while supporting communities and people around Europe.
It was announced by the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, during his annual State of the European Union speech in September 2016, and officially launched in December 2016.

Who can participate
Young people from 18 years old, legally resident in or have the nationality of one of the
- European Union Member States, 
- Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Some projects may have additional restrictions on ages, legal residency or nationality, depending on the type of project and how it is funded.

How does it work
You can register for the European Solidarity Corps when you are 17 years old, but you cannot start a project until you are over 18.
You must also complete the European Solidarity Corps project before you turn 31.
After completing a simple registration process, you could be selected and invited to join a wide range of projects, such as:

• Helping rebuild a school or community centre that has been devastated following an earthquake;
• Providing support to newly arrived asylum seekers;
• Clearing vegetation from forests to help prevent wildfires;

Benefits
After participating in a volunteering project you will receive a certificate that documents your participation. You could use this when applying for jobs or further learning.

Il Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà è la nuova iniziativa dell'Unione europea che offre ai giovani opportunità di volontariato o di lavoro in progetti nel loro paese o all'estero, sostenendo le comunità e le persone in tutta Europa.
È stato annunciato dal presidente della Commissione europea, Jean-Claude Juncker, durante il suo discorso annuale sullo stato dell'Unione europea nel settembre 2016, e lanciato ufficialmente nel dicembre 2016.

Chi può partecipare
Giovani di 18 anni, legalmente residenti o aventi la nazionalità di uno dei seguenti:
- Stati membri dell'Unione europea,
- Islanda, Liechtenstein, Norvegia, Turchia, ex Repubblica iugoslava di Macedonia.
Alcuni progetti possono avere ulteriori restrizioni per età, residenza legale o nazionalità, a seconda del tipo di progetto e di come è finanziato.

Come funziona
Puoi iscriverti al Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà quando hai 17 anni, ma non puoi iniziare un progetto fino a quando non hai più di 18 anni e devi completarlo prima di compiere 31 anni.
Dopo aver effettuato una semplice procedura di registrazione, potresti essere selezionato e invitato a partecipare a una vasta gamma di progetti per:

• Fornire sostegno ai richiedenti asilo appena arrivati;
• Eliminare la vegetazione dalle foreste per aiutare a prevenire gli incendi boschivi;
• Lavorare con persone disabili in una comunità.

Non ti verrà chiesto di fornire alcun servizio correlato alla risposta immediata ai disastri. Questi tipi di compiti continueranno ad essere eseguiti da coloro che hanno la formazione specialistica e l'esperienza per operare in sicurezza in questi ambienti pericolosi.
I progetti sostenuti dal Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà possono durare da due a dodici mesi. Solitamente si trovano all'interno degli Stati membri dell'Unione europea.

Vantaggi
Dopo aver partecipato a un progetto di volontariato riceverai un certificato che documenta la tua partecipazione. Potresti usarlo quando fai domanda per lavori o ulteriore apprendimento.
Non è previsto un salario, ma si ha diritto al viaggio, l'alloggio e la sussistenza, nonché la copertura assicurativa per tutta la durata dell'attività e una piccola somma di denaro da spendere per coprire le proprie spese di soggiorno quotidiane. Si riceverà inoltre una formazione pertinente prima dell'inizio e alla fine del proprio arrivo sul sito.
