service program in another country in another organization.
ESC Program Objectives:
* Promoting solidarity as a value
*To increase the participation of young people and organizations in accessible and high-quality solidarity activities
*To contribute to the strengthening of cooperation, solidarity, democracy, and citizenship in Europe
* Promote social inclusion
* Enabling young people to gain work experience in different countries
Principles of the European Solidarity Corps:
European Solidarity Corps participants carry with them ideas,
convictions and expectations. The participating organisations have to be
mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and
trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating
in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a
high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity
Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities
and the people that are directly concerned by the activities.
These general principles of conduct take into account the great variety of potential participants, organisations and environments in which activities may be performed. They should be adapted to the specific circumstances of each activity.
