Az EU Aid Volunteers kezdeményezés nyitva áll minden olyan EU állampolgárok, vagy harmadik országból származó, de tartósan az EU-ban tartózkodó személyek számára, akik elhivatottak az emberi jogok és humanitárius értékek iránt, és szeretnének segíteni. A programban való részvételnek nem feltétele korábbi önkéntes tapasztalat, ugyanakkor bizonyos területeken szerzett munkatapasztalat előnyt jelenthet.

Az önkéntesek két csoportjának várják jelentkezését:

• Junior szakemberek (kevesebb, mint öt év munkatapasztalattal).
• Senior szakemberek (több mint öt év munkatapasztalattal).

A Junior szakembereknek az első hat hónapot olyan EU székhelyű szervezetnél kell tölteniük, ahol megismerkedhetnek a projektek humanitárius légkörével, emellett adminisztrációs, szervezési és alapvető egészségügyi ismeretekkel is gazdagodnak.

Feladatok és időtartam:

Az önkéntesek különböző típusú megbízásokat kapnak a rátermettségük és tapasztalatuk alapján.

A megbízatások széleskörűek lehetnek a szervezetfejlesztéstől kezdve a katasztrófavédelmen át az alapvető élelmezési és higiénés ellátásokig.

Az önkénteseket olyan EU-n kívüli országokba küldik, ahol a különböző humanitárius akciók zajlanak, ugyanakkor egy önkéntes sem fog olyan országba kerülni, ahol fegyveres harcok folynak. A kiküldetések az egyes humanitárius akciók hosszától (1-18 hónap) függően változnak.

Előnyök:

A program alatt az önkéntesek minden költségét fedezik, beleértve az utazási költségeket, a biztosítást és a szállást is. Ezek mellett az önkéntesek havonta részesülnek kiegészítő támogatásban, melyből finanszírozni tudják mindennapi kiadásaikat (étkezés, tömegközlekedés, stb).

Az önkénteseket központilag szervezett tréningeken készítik fel a kiküldetésekre.

EU Online Aid Volunteers

Azoknak, akik valamilyen oknál fogva nem hagyhatják el az országukat, lehetőségük van az online önkéntes platformhoz csatlakozni, mellyel távolról segíthetik a szervezetek munkáját. Különleges online önkéntes lehetőségek lesznek elérhetőek a szervezetek honlapján, amint elindul a program.

Hogyan pályázz:

Mind a személyes, mind az online önkéntes lehetőségek az angol nyelvű oldalon találhatjátok az alábbi linken.

Инициативата „Доброволци на ЕС за хуманитарна помощ“ е отворена за граждани на ЕС и дългосрочно пребиваващи в държавите членки граждани на трети страни с широк спектър от опит и с различен опит – от новодошли до опитни професионалисти.

Гражданите на потенциалните страни кандидатки, страните от ЕИП или Европейската политика за съседство ще могат да кандидатстват само когато ЕС подпише двустранни споразумения с тези страни.

Всяка доброволческа позиция зависи от хуманитарните нужди на приемащата организация и от контекста на разполагането. Обикновено не е необходим предишен опит на доброволците. Въпреки това, доброволците могат да се позоват на изискваните компетентности за свободното работно място, което ги интересува, за да разберат дали техният профил е подходящ за позицията.

Профил на доброволците
Съществуват два основни доброволчески профила:

• Младши професионалисти (по-малко от 5 години трудов стаж);
• Старши професионалисти (повече от 5 години трудов стаж).

От младшите професионалисти може да се изиска първо да прекарат шест месеца в организация със седалище в ЕС (чиракуване), за да се запознаят с хуманитарния характер на проекта.

Всяка задача ще определи дали е необходим старши или младши професионалист-доброволец.

Някои доброволци на ЕС за хуманитарна помощ разполагат със специализирани познания в областта на хуманитарната помощ като логистика и транспорт, организационно развитие и изграждане на капацитет, водоснабдяване и канализация, защита и подслон, храна и здравно хранене, данни и знания за бедствия, медицински и парамедицински услуги и др.
 

Задачи и продължителност
Доброволците ще работят по различни типове задачи, в зависимост от профила и опита им.

Дейностите ще бъдат в области като организационно развитие и изграждане на капацитет, управление на проекти, подкрепа за управление на риска от бедствия, храна и здравословно хранене, водоснабдяване и канализация и др.

Доброволците ще бъдат разположени в страни извън ЕС, където се извършват операции за хуманитарна помощ. Те няма да бъдат изпращани в страни или региони с международни или немеждународни въоръжени конфликти.

Продължителността на дейностите зависи от конкретния проект, по който доброволецът работи. Това може да бъде от 1 месец до 18 месеца.

Ползи
Програмата покрива разходите по време на дейностите, включително пътни разходи, застраховки и настаняване.

В допълнение, доброволците получават месечни надбавки за престоя, които покриват ежедневните разходи като храна, местен транспорт и други разходи в зависимост от страната на разполагане.

Всички доброволци ще получат централизирано организирана програма за обучение и ще бъдат оценени по отношение на тяхната готовност за включване в дейностите.

Онлайн доброволци на ЕС за хуманитарна помощ

Тези, които не могат да напуснат страната си, могат да се възползват от възможността да се присъединят към онлайн платформа за доброволчество и да се свържат с организации, които се нуждаят от подкрепа, която може да бъде предоставена дистанционно.

Специфичните възможности за онлайн доброволчество се публикуват на платформата за свободни работни места веднага щом те станат достъпни. 

Как се кандидаства
Възможностите за дейности на терен и онлайн доброволчество се публикуват в платформата на инициативата „Доброволци на ЕС за хуманитарна помощ“.

Inițiativa "Voluntari UE pentru ajutor umanitar" reunește voluntari și organizații din diferite țări, oferind sprijin practic proiectelor de ajutor umanitar și contribuind la consolidarea capacitățior locale și a rezilienței comunităților afectate de dezastre.

Inițiativa "Voluntari UE pentru ajutor umanitar" se adresează cetățenilor UE și rezidenților pe termen lung din țări terțe dintr-un stat membru UE cu diverse background-uri și experiențe, de la noii veniți la profesioniști cu experiență.

Cetățenii din țările potențial candidate, țările SEE sau țări care sunt prezente în politica europeană de vecinătate vor fi eligibili să candideze numai atunci când UE semnează acorduri bilaterale cu aceste țări.

Fiecare activitate de voluntariat depinde de nevoile umanitare ale organizației gazdă și de contextul de desfășurare. În mod normal, nu este necesară experiența de voluntariat. Cu toate acestea, voluntarii pot face referire la competențele necesare conform profilului postului vacant de voluntariat de care sunt interesați, pentru a se înțelege dacă profilul lor este adecvat poziției.

Profilul voluntarilor

Există două profiluri principale pentru voluntari:

• Profesioniști juniori (mai puțin de 5 ani de experiență de muncă);
• Profesioniști seniori (mai mult de 5 ani de experiență de muncă).

Profesioniștii juniori ar putea fi obligați să petreacă mai întâi până la șase luni într-o organizație din UE (stagiu de ucenicie) pentru a se familiariza cu latura umanitară a proiectului.

Fiecare misiune va specifica dacă este nevoie de un voluntar profesionist senior sau junior.

Unii dintre voluntarii UE pentru ajutor umanitar trebuie să aibă cunoștințe de specialitate relevante în contextul ajutorului umanitar, cum ar fi logistică și transport, dezvoltare organizațională și consolidarea capacităților, apă și canalizare, protecție și adăpostire, nutriție și sănătate, date și cunoștințe legate de dezastre, servicii medicale și paramedicale, etc.

Sarcini și durată

Voluntarii vor lucra pe diferite tipuri de misiuni, în funcție de competențele și experiența lor.

Activitățile vor fi în domenii precum dezvoltarea organizațională și consolidarea capacităților, managementul proiectelor, sprijinul pentru managementul riscului în caz de dezastre, alimentație și nutriție, apă și canalizare, etc.

Voluntarii vor merge în țări din afara UE unde au loc operațiuni de ajutor umanitar. Aceștia nu vor merge în țări sau regiuni cu conflicte armate internaționale sau non-internaționale.

Durata desfășurării activității de voluntariat depinde de proiectul specific pentru care lucrează voluntarul. Aceasta poate fi cuprinsă între 1 lună și 18 luni.

Beneficii

Programul acoperă cheltuielile în timpul activității de voluntariat, inclusiv costurile de călătorie, asigurările și cazarea.

În plus, voluntarii vor primi o indemnizație de subzistență lunară care să acopere cheltuielile de zi cu zi, cum ar fi masa, transportul local și alte cheltuieli, în funcție de țara unde se desfășoară activitatea de voluntariat.

Toți voluntarii vor beneficia de un program de formare centralizat și vor fi evaluați privind pregătirea lor pentru stagiul de voluntariat.

Voluntarii online pentru ajutor din UE

Cei care nu își pot părăsi țara au posibilitatea de a se alătura unei platforme online de voluntariat și de a intra în contact cu organizațiile care au nevoie de sprijin care poate fi oferit de la distanță.

Oportunitățile de voluntariat online sunt publicate pe platformă imediat ce acestea sunt disponibile.

Cum candidezi

Atât oportunitățile pentru activități de voluntariat cât și pentru voluntariatul online sunt publicate pe Platforma Voluntari UE pentru ajutor umanitar.

The Solidarity projects are part of the European Solidarity Corps, the Initiative launched by the European Commission and announced by President Juncker in his State of the Union Speech in front of the European Parliament on the 14th of September 2016.
Solidarity projects are volunteering projects initiated, developed and implemented by a group of at least 5 young people lasting from 2 to 12 months. They give young people the chance take the initiative to respond to the issues and challenges around them, in the local community they live in, although some of them can also tackle regional or even national issues.
Solidarity Projects should have an impact on the local community by addressing local issues, targeting a specific group or developing local opportunities (particularly in communities located in rural, isolated or marginalised areas) but also through involving different actors and developing new partnerships.

Who can take part
A group of minimum 5 young people, aged between 18 and 30 years, who are legally residing in one and the same participating country (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Turkey) and have registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal.

How does it work
Solidarity Projects should address key challenges within the communities but should also clearly present European added value.
Participation in a solidarity project is an important non-formal learning experience through which young people can enhance their personal, educational, social and civic development.
A solidarity project will typically consist of the following stages:
- Preparation;
- Implementation of the activities;
- Follow-up (including the evaluation of the activities as well as the dissemination of project's result).

The activities will take place in the country of residence of the participants, facilitating the participation of young people with fewer opportunities who may encounter difficulties to engage in transnational activities.
One of the participants will assume a role of legal representative who will be in charge of submitting the application (unless an organisation applies on behalf of the group). 
The group will arrange the distribution of tasks and responsibilities, coordination and tasks in relation to the goals of the project.

Organisation
A group of young people who plan a solidarity project can also seek for support from an organisation which can be any public or private body. 
An organisation may apply on their behalf for a grant under the European Solidarity Corps. 
The role of the organisation should be mainly administrative, to support the group in the project life-cycle administrative and financial tasks. However it can also offer support and guidance in identifying and documenting learning outcomes.

Coach
Young people carrying out a Solidarity Project may be supported by a coach, a volunteer or professional person, who could have youth work experience to accompany groups of young people and support their participation. 
She/he can play different roles depending on the needs of a given group of young people. The coach remains outside the Solidarity Project, cannot be a member of the group, neither have links with the applying organisation (if any). 
The coach may support the group of young people in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of their project based on the needs of the group. 
The coach can facilitate and foster the quality of the learning process and assist in identifying and documenting learning outcomes at the end of the project. Coaches can be volunteers or professionals.

Who can submit the application
Any public or private body on behalf of the group that will implement the project should submit the application to the National Agency of the country where the applicant is legally resident. 

Deadlines
 -13^th February at 12:00 (midday Brussels time) for projects starting between 1^st May and 30^th September of the same year; 
- 30^th April at 12:00 (midday Brussels time) for projects starting between 1^st August and 31^st December of the same year;

Proiectele de solidaritate sunt proiecte ale Corpul European de Solidaritate, inițiativă lansată de Comisia Europeană și anunțată de președintele Juncker în discursul privind starea Uniunii Europene din Parlamentul European, din 14 septembrie 2016.

Proiectele de solidaritate sunt proiecte de voluntariat inițiate, dezvoltate și implementate de un grup de cel puțin 5 tineri, care durează între 2 și 12 luni. Acestea dau tinerilor șansa de a lua inițiativa de a răspunde problemelor și provocărilor din jurul lor, din comunitatea locală în care locuiesc, iar unele dintre ele pot aborda și probleme regionale sau chiar naționale.

Proiectele de solidaritate trebuie să aibă impact asupra comunității locale, abordând problemele locale, orientându-se către un anumit grup sau dezvoltând oportunități locale (în special în comunitățile situate în zone rurale, izolate sau marginalizate), dar și prin implicarea diferiților actori și dezvoltarea de noi parteneriate.

Cine poate lua parte

Un grup de minimum 5 tineri cu vârsta cuprinsă între 18 și 30 de ani, care sunt rezidenți legali într-una din țarile participante (Austria, Belgia, Bulgaria, Croația, Cipru, Republica Cehă, Danemarca, Estonia, Finlanda, Franța, Germania, Grecia, Ungaria, Irlanda, Italia, Letonia, Lituania, Luxemburg, Malta, Olanda, Polonia, Portugalia, România, Slovacia, Slovenia, Spania, Suedia, Marea Britanie, Turcia) și care s-au înregistrat în Corpul European de Solidaritate.

Cum funcționeazã

Proiectele de solidaritate trebuie să răspundă provocărilor din cadrul comunităților, dar trebuie să prezinte în mod clar valoare adăugată europeană.

Participarea la un proiect de solidaritate este o experiență importantă de învățare nonformală prin care tinerii se pot dezvolta din punct de vedere personal, educațional, social și civic.

Un proiect de solidaritate este constituit, în mod obișnuit, din următoarele etape:

- Pregătire;

- Implementare activități;

- Urmărire (inclusiv evaluarea activităților, precum și diseminarea rezultatelor proiectului).

Activitățile vor avea loc în țara de reședință a participanților, facilitând participarea tinerilor cu oportunități reduse care ar putea întâmpina dificultăți privind implicarea în activități transnaționale.

Unul dintre participanți își va asuma rolul de reprezentant legal care va fi responsabil de trimiterea cererii de candidatură (cu excepția cazului în care o organizație trimite candidatura în numele grupului).

Grupul va organiza distribuirea sarcinilor și responsabilităților, coordonarea activităților în raport cu obiectivele proiectului.

Organizare

Un grup de tineri care planifică un proiect de solidaritate poate, de asemenea, să caute sprijin din partea unei organizații care poate fi orice organism public sau privat.

O organizație poate depune candidatura în numele lor pentru un grant în cadrul Corpului European de Solidaritate.

Rolul organizației trebui să fie, în special, administrativ, să sprijine grupul privind sarcinile administrative și financiare pe durata proiectului. Cu toate acestea, organizația poate oferi și sprijin și îndrumare în identificarea și documentarea rezultatelor învățării.

Coach

Tinerii care desfășoară un proiect de solidaritate pot fi sprijiniți de un coach, un voluntar sau un profesionist, care ar putea avea experiență în munca de tineret pentru coordonarea grupurilor de tineri și pentru sprijinirea participării acestora.

Ea/el poate juca roluri diferite în funcție de nevoile unui anumit grup de tineri. Coach-ul rămâne în afara proiectului de solidaritate, nu poate fi membru al grupului și nici nu are legături cu organizația care trimite candidatura (dacă există).

Coach-ul poate sprijini grupul de tineri în pregătirea, implementarea și evaluarea proiectului, pe baza nevoilor grupului.

Coach-ul poate facilita și promova calitatea procesului de învățare și poate ajuta la identificarea și documentarea rezultatelor învățării la sfârșitul proiectului. Aceștia pot fi voluntari sau profesioniști.

Cine poate trimite candidatura

Orice organism public sau privat trebuie să trimită formularul de candidatură în numele grupului care va implementa proiectul, la Agenția Națională a țării în care candidatul își are reședința legală.

Termene limită

 -13 februarie, ora 12:00 (ora prânzului Bruxelles), pentru proiectele care încep în perioada 1 mai - 30 septembrie a aceluiași an;

- 30 aprilie, ora 12:00 (ora prânzului Bruxelles), pentru proiectele care încep în perioada 1 august și 31 decembrie a aceluiași an;

- 1 octombrie, ora 12:00 (ora prânzului Bruxelles), pentru proiectele care încep în perioada 1 ianuarie - 31 mai a anului următor.

Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) is part of the broader European Solidarity Corps Initiative launched by the European Commission and announced by President Juncker in his State of the Union Speech in front of the European Parliament on the 14th of September 2016.
IVY offers the possibility to young Europeans aged 18-30 to serve as volunteers in cross-border, transnational or interregional programmes and related projects. Each experience is between 2 and 6 months long.

How does it work
There are two ways to join the Interreg Volunteer Youth: either as an Interreg Project Partner or as an Interreg Reporter. 
Each experience is between minimum 2 and maximum 6 months long. Volunteers can be deployed in any of 28 EU Member States. This means that they could also be deployed in one of the EU’s outermost regions around the world.

Who can take part

Interreg Project Partner
EU citizens between 18 and 30 years old can apply to become an Interreg Project Partner. Volunteering is about giving back to society by putting your skills at the benefit of, in this case, Interreg project activities. Based on the placement offers, specific skills are key to make IVY a valuable experience for all sides involved. Given the variety of Interreg activities (from the education and culture fields to the health and environment ones, and so on), all types of backgrounds are welcome to become an Interreg Project Partner.

Interreg Reporter
EU citizens between 18 and 30 years old can apply to become an Interreg Reporter, although priority is given to candidates with passion or experience in communication. Please remember that volunteering is about giving back to society by putting your skills at the benefit of, in this case, Interreg programme activities. Based on the placement offers, specific skills are key to make IVY a valuable experience for all sides involved.

In both cases, eligible applicants should first register in the European Solidarity Corps Youth Portal here and send to IVY their reference number. If their profile fits the needs of the participating Interreg programmes and projects they will be contacted.

Placements
All available placement offers are displayed here: https://www.interregyouth.com/placement-offers  (sometimes the start date of the offers has passed, but if the placement offer is still displayed, it means that it is still valid, so apply before it's too late).
If you are particularly interested in one or more specific volunteering offer(s) and you think that your profile matches the offer(s), you can also send an email to [email protected] expressing your interest (remember to send also your European Solidarity Corps reference number!). 

​

Selection process
The coordinating organisation (AEBR) will pre-select some suitable profiles for the specific offer, taking into account the host organisation's specific needs.
The host organisation will choose the successful candidate(s) by setting up interviews with all or some of the pre-selected candidates.
 

Funding
Volunteers receive a daily allowance of minimum 19 EUR to maximum 26 EUR per day for the entire duration of their placement (not just per working day but counting weekends and holidays too). This daily allowance changes according to the host country where the volunteer will be deployed and it is intended to cover food, lodging, local transport, etc., as well as to provide some pocket money to the volunteer. Hence, no specific expense, such as the accommodation rent, is directly paid by AEBR because the financial support given to the volunteer is intended to already help to cover this kind of costs.
Moreover, AEBR cover volunteers’ travel cost based on km distance they would do from their home address to the host organisation’s address. Please note that this is NOT a reimbursement but a lump sum, i.e. a fixed amount of money transferred to the volunteer only once and calculated on the km distance made because of the IVY mobility. 

For further information please check: https://www.interregyouth.com/faqs or get in touch with the organisers to [email protected]

In this sense, volunteering can be seen as a way of life, a demonstration of the possible reality of a peaceful and cooperative world.

SCI offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to people, such as short, mid- and long term projects, but also the possibility to become active for a local branch or participate in a seminar or training.

Short term voluntary projects, commonly known as workcamps, are organised in cooperation with SCI branches and partner organisations, who in their turn cooperate with local communities. 

What is it
A short term voluntary project is a unique form of volunteering, bringing together people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds to live and work together with local communities for a period of two to three weeks.
The aim is to break down barriers between people and develop intercultural understanding. In that way, they contribute to building a culture of peace among people. 
The projects place a strong emphasis on intercultural learning and include elements of peace education. There are many different projects to choose from and they are open to everyone.

Fees
Everyone who joins a workcamp needs to pay a membership fee to his/ her SCI branch (the sending organisation). SCI is a non-profit organisation and therefore able to keep participation fees low. This makes the workcamps accessible to people with fewer resources.
In some countries, SCI has special programmes for young people with fewer opportunities that facilitate their participation in short term projects.
The project hosts will provide volunteers with food and accommodation during the project but not during their travels to and from the project. Volunteers will have access to drinkable water.

Diversity of workcamps
Every year thousands of short term voluntary projects are organised in different fields and with different types of voluntary work, for example:
- organise an open-air cinema with the Roma community in Kosovo;
- experience life in an eco-village in Finland;
- -run activities for refugees in Kenya;
- work with children from asylum seekers in Belgium;
- wake up to the sound of crying wolves in the USA;
- support the daily work of a Palestinian youth center in Israel…

How to apply
Projects are regularly listed on an on-line workcamp database. For most projects it is possible to register on-line.
To apply you must register online on your country branch and create your account. Once you have registered you can log in and complete an application form that will be submitted online to your SCI branch (member organisation). Some SCI branches may ask you to pay the placement fee before processing your application.
In case your country does not currently have a branch, please contact SCI International for further support.

The World Wide Fund (WWF) Young Adult volunteer programme aims to provide motivated and committed young people with an opportunity to engage in the conservation of the environment, regardless of their backgrounds, and work on WWF conservation projects internationally through a facilitated 3-6 month assignment, including hands-on engagement in WWF field projects and exposure to local conservation practitioners, scientists and communities. This unique experience enables them to raise awareness about nature conservation on their return home and helps develop the next generation of conservationists and future leaders in sustainable development.

The aim of the programme is to create a win-win situation for both the volunteer/intern and WWF, committed young self-starters bring added value to a WWF team with their knowledge and background, and take ownership of their activities. In turn WWF provides these individuals with a powerful, direct experience of the challenges it faces in protecting the environment. They work closely with WWF experts and local communities, enabling them to gain a better grasp of the issues, transferring knowledge and providing them with leadership skills.

Who can apply

During their placement, volunteers will be integrated into a WWF team to work on conservation initiatives in line with the objectives of the project or programme. They will get an insight into the world of conservation work on the ground, in the field. This could be an assignment with a WWF project in an extremely rural and isolated community or it could be with a local WWF office combining visits to the field.

I progetti sostenuti dal Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà possono durare da due a dodici mesi. Solitamente si svolgono 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 un lavoro o un'ulteriore opportunità di 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 personali. Si riceverà inoltre una formazione pertinente prima dell'inizio e alla fine della propria permanenza.

Corpul European de Solidaritate este noua inițiativă a Uniunii Europene care le oferă tinerilor șansa de a face voluntariat sau de a se implica în proiecte în propria țară sau în străinătate pentru a ajuta comunități și oameni din toată Europa.

Inițiativa a fost prezentată de președintele Comisiei Europene, Jean-Claude Juncker, cu ocazia discursului anual privind starea Uniunii Europene din septembrie 2016 și a fost lansată oficial în decembrie 2016.

Cine poate participa
Tinerii care au împlinit 18 ani, care au reședința legală sau au cetățenia unuia dintre
- Statele membre ale Uniunii Europene,
- Islanda, Liechtenstein, Norvegia, Turcia, Fosta Republică Iugoslavă a Macedoniei.
Unele proiecte pot avea unele restricții suplimentare privind vârsta, rezidența legală sau naționalitatea, în funcție de tipul de proiect și de modul în care este finanțat.

Cum functioneazã
Te poți înscrie în Corpul European de Solidaritate încă de la vârsta de 17 ani, însă, pentru a participa efectiv la proiecte, trebuie să ai peste 18 ani. În ceea ce privește limita superioară de vârstă, trebuie să finalizezi proiectul la care participi înainte de a împlini 31 de ani.
După finalizarea unui simplu proces de înregistrare, poți fi selectat și invitat să participi în diverse proiecte, cum ar fi:
- Reconstruirea unei școli sau a unui centru comunitar care a fost devastat în urma unui cutremur;
- Acordarea de sprijin solicitanților de azil nou-veniți;
- Curățarea vegetației din păduri pentru a preveni incendiile;
- Muncă într-un centru comunitar pentru persoane cu dizabilități.

Tinerilor nu li se va cere să furnizeze servicii legate de răspunsul imediat în caz de dezastre. Aceste tipuri de sarcini vor continua să fie efectuate de cei cu pregătire specială și experiență pentru a acționa în condiții de siguranță în aceste medii periculoase.
Proiectele susținute de Corpul European de Solidaritate pot dura între două și douăsprezece luni. Acestea se vor desfășura, în general, în statele membre ale Uniunii Europene.

Beneficii

După finalizarea proiectului de voluntariat, vei primi un certificat de participare. Acesta îți poate fi de folos atunci când îți cauți un loc de muncă sau dacă dorești să îți continui studiile.

Nu vei primi un salariu, dar îți vor fi acoperite cheltuielile de deplasare, cazare și întreținere și vei beneficia de asigurare pe durata întregului proiect. De asemenea, vei primi o mica sumă de bani pentru acoperirea cheltuielilor zilnice.

Vei participa la cursuri de formare, înainte și imediat după începerea activității.

Той бе обявен от председателя на Европейската комисия Жан-Клод Юнкер по време на неговата годишна реч за състоянието на Европейския съюз през септември 2016 г. и официално стартира през декември 2016 г.

Не се очаква да предоставяте услуги, свързани с незабавното реагиране при бедствия. Тези видове задачи ще продължат да се изпълняват от хора, притежаващи специализирано обучение и опит, за да работят безопасно в такава среда.

Проектите, финансирани от Европейския корпус за солидарност, могат да продължат от два до дванадесет месеца. Те обикновено се осъществяват в държавите членки на Европейския съюз.

The UNESCO World Heritage Centre has launched a Call for Projects for the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) Campaign 2019. The WHV Initiative was launched in 2008 to encourage young people to undertake concrete actions and to play an active role in the protection, preservation and promotion of World Heritage sites. It consists of action camps organized by youth organisations or institutions in cooperation with multiple stakeholders and partners, which work all together for the state of conservation of World Heritage sites.
The initiative mobilizes national and international volunteers through hands-on and awareness-raising activities for the conservation of our common cultural and natural heritage.

In the framework of the UNESCO World Heritage Education Programme, the initiative is led by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre (WHC) in collaboration with the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS), European Heritage Volunteers (as a branch of Open Houses) and Better World.

The World Heritage Volunteers Campaign 2019 aims to: 
- Raise awareness among young people, volunteers, local communities, and concerned authorities of the need to protect and promote World Heritage; 
- Involve young people in World Heritage preservation through concrete projects at sites; 
- Empower young people allowing them to learn skills, basic preservation and conservation techniques and raise their capacity as future decision-makers and global active citizens; 
- Strengthen sustainable cooperation between non-profit organisations, site management, communities and authorities; 
- Identify best practices and develop non-formal education tools to facilitate stakeholders’ participation in the World Heritage education; 
- Mainstream gender equality in all stages of the projects and geographical diversity among the World Heritage properties where the action camps take place. 

Who can apply
- Youth organisations, NGOs, institutions and public authorities, from all over the world, that wish to involve young people in World Heritage preservation through the implementation of action camps at World Heritage sites in 2019;
- organisations should be legally registered as a public or private organisation or institution in the country where the project takes place; 
- all activities of the organisation related to WHV should be no profit. All local, national and international partnerships developed by the applicant in the framework of the WHV should be submitted for approval to the WHV coordinators; 
- first-time applicants should submit two letters of support from recognized organisations and/or institutions recommending the applicant on the basis of past or current proven cooperation; 
- first-time applicants should submit a copy of their Constitution / Bylaws and of their most recent activity report in one of the UN official languages;
- each organisation is eligible to apply for a maximum of 4 projects to be carried out at different sites (they may apply to run several projects on the same site, or to run several projects on the same theme but on different sites. This will be counted as one project.);
- the evaluation form of previous World Heritage Volunteers projects done by the same organisation has to be submitted in order for the new proposals to be considered. 

Organisations that wish to get involved in the WHV Initiative can apply for a one-year project in 2019.
Organisations that already applied in 2018 for a two-year cycle 2018-2019, can confirm their commitment for 2019.

Eligible projects should
- be organised in immediate connection to a property inscribed on the World Heritage List or a site inscribed on a Tentative List;
