IRELAND SOUTH MEP DEIRDRE CLUNE ENCOURAGES YOUNG IRISH PEOPLE<br />
TO CONSIDER EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY CORPS<br />
Volunteer Programme to Work on Projects across Europe Open to Ireland’s Young People<br />
Young people interested in volunteering abroad are being invited to sign up to the European<br />
Solidarity Corps, a new initiative which connects young volunteers to work in projects in their<br />
own country or abroad that benefit communities and people around Europe<br />
Ireland South MEP Deirdre Clune is highlighting the new programme to young people as a<br />
great opportunity to do rewarding work, travel, gain valuable experience, learn and have fun.<br />
The scheme brings together for the first time both volunteering and professional opportunities,<br />
like internships and apprenticeships, in a wide-range of sectors<br />
From rebuilding schools after an earthquake, to working with disabled people in their communities<br />
to supporting newly arrived asylum seekers, young people from across Europe aged<br />
between 18 and 30 years can spend from 2 to 12 months on full time volunteering projects,<br />
an apprenticeship or traineeship with NGOs, public bodies and organisations working in these<br />
fields. Financial support for travel, accommodation and meals, medical insurance and a small<br />
amount to cover day to day living expenses is provided.<br />
“I would encourage young people in Ireland to take the opportunity to be part of this exciting<br />
initiative. Whether it’s 8 weeks or 8 months, it is a wonderful opportunity to experience different<br />
places, cultures and situations within Europe, and to help people and communities across<br />
Europe whilst having a valuable opportunity to learn and develop new skills and experiences,”<br />
said Deirdre Clune, Ireland South MEP.<br />
After completing a simple registration process, participants from 18 up to 30 years of age,<br />
can be selected and invited to join a wide range of projects, such as helping communities in<br />
need, asylum seekers, disaster prevention or disaster recovery. For more information on the<br />
