EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY CORPS (ESC)
The European University Sports Association, through its EUSA Institute, is an
accredited organisation with a Quality Label for running European Solidarity
Corps (ESC) activities in Volunteering and Solidarity projects, supported by
the European Union.
The European Solidarity Corps
replaced the European Voluntary
Service as a new initiative which
creates opportunities for young
people to volunteer or work on
projects that benefit communities
and people around Europe, either
on their own or in a country
abroad.
The European Solidarity Corps
(ESC) aims to foster solidarity
in European society, engaging
young people and organisations
in accessible and high-quality
solidarity activities. It offers
young people opportunities to
show solidarity and help resolve
challenging situations across
Europe through volunteering
activities, traineeships or jobs as
well as solidarity projects based
on young people’s own initiative.The ESC position in EUSA is
open to motivated individuals

spheres of EUSA related projects
