Cos’è il Servizio Volontario Europeo?

Il Servizio Volontario Europeo permette ai giovani di impegnarsi nel volontariato per un massimo di 12 mesi, in un Paese diverso da quello di residenza. L’esperienza accresce la solidarietà tra i giovani ed è un vero "servizio di apprendimento". Infatti, oltre ad operare a favore delle comunità locali, i volontari apprendono nuove capacità e nuove lingue, entrando in contatto con nuove culture. Un progetto di questo tipo si avvale dei principi e dei metodi di apprendimento non formale.Tutti i partecipanti allo SVE hanno diritto a ricevere il Certificato Youthpass, che descrive e convalida l’esperienza di apprendimento non formale e informale e i risultati acquisiti durante il progetto (risultati dell’apprendimento).

Chi può partecipare? Giovani tra i 18 ed i 30 anni (non si deve aver compiuto il 31° anno

d'età al momento della domanda di finanziamento) Legalmente residenti in uno dei Paesi dell'Unione Europea

Quanto costa?

Il programma Erasmus+ finanzia: Contributo alla spese di viaggio di andata e ritorno dei partecipanti

calcolato sulla base della distanza del viaggio (esempio per distanze tra i 100 e i 499 Km è di 180 euro)

le spese di vitto e alloggio (attraverso un contributo economico che viene dato all'associazione di accoglienza non al volontario)
