VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

European University Sports Association (EUSA), in cooperation with its

Student Commission and the Organising Committees of the European

Universities Games (EUG) and European Universities Championships

(EUC), is offering students from Europe, a unique opportunity of actively

participating in the organisation of EUSA events as volunteers.

The European Universities
Games 2022 in Lodz, hosted
over 800 volunteers, both
local and international. Around
200 international volunteers
were part of the big group of
enthusiastic young people
engaging in different roles,
positions and completing various
tasks, creating a big support
system in the implementation of
the Games.

The main aim of the volunteer
program is to give chances to
students, who are interested in
sports and in organizing sport
events, to get the opportunity
of experiencing a unique
adventure, through which they
will learn the values of sport,
gain valuable work experience,
express their creativity, and

enjoy everything that the Games

as a diverse hub of cultures and

people, can offer.

The Volunteer Programme

includes working for the

organising committee,

supporting them in the

cooperation fields, such

as coordination, managing

information desks,

communication between

organisation Committee,

referees, guests, as well

as helping he athletes and

the officials accompanying

them throughout the whole

experience. All these positions

available for the volunteers and

the experiences they get from

representing them, are building

up the volunteers’ competencies

and skills in organising sport

events at a European level.

In the frame of the Volunteer

Program, full board is provided

during the time of the event,

with transportation from the

official airport/station covered;

volunteers just must ensure

their travel costs to the event.

Moreover, after the event

finishes, a certificate will be

provided for each volunteer,

indicating their working position

and hours, representing their

success and an additional value

to their already rich experience.

During this edition of the

European Universities Games in

Lodz, great attention was given

to the big number of volunteers,

offering them interesting

activities, workshops, seminars,

and social activities, to give

them additional educational

opportunities throughout their

service. Different workshops

on the topic of career, self-

assessment, creativity, as well

as sport and fun activities, were

part of the diverse palette of

the learning process of the

volunteers.

In 2023, volunteering

opportunities will be available

for the European Universities

Championships which will be

organised in 20 sports across

Europe.
