Description
The main goal of the ERAS project is a long-term partnership of thirteen cities from thirteen different countries with the common goal of improving the conditions for the development of volunteering in partner countries and across Europe. To this end, partner organizations will exchange information, good practices, knowledge and promote volunteering as such. Together, they will provide a productive and content-rich environment that will encourage the development of various voluntary programs.
Various organizations from Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Malta, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Macedonia, Hungary, Greece and Bulgaria will address various challenges of volunteering in Europe in the project. We all partners firmly believe that volunteering is a key element of a modern democratic society, and by nurturing and promoting volunteering and spreading solidarity values, Europeans can make great strides towards a more developed, inclusive and dynamic society with quality opportunities for all.

The project will include nine international events with the aim of exchanging good practices, establishing links with relevant organizations, studying the concepts and effects of volunteering in different countries and also with the aim of promoting the development of volunteering across Europe. The project will address different areas of volunteering. From youth volunteering, volunteering and population aging, volunteering in crisis situations (COVID 19), the issue of sustainable volunteering to European volunteering policies and national volunteering programs and incentives. An important topic that we will regularly highlight will be the opportunities, practices and objectives of the European Solidarity Unit mechanism.
