Aims: The main aim of the event is to motivate and support municipalities to make use of the possibilities of the European Solidarity Corps Programme. It aims to illustrate multiple advantages for municipalities to encounter their local needs, activate their citizens and to strengthen their (twin town) networks.
Target Group: The seminar offers many opportunities for participants representing municipalities and municipal organisations, which want to bring a European dimension to their youth work and citizenship activities. Opportunities for municipalities that want to strengthen their existing networks with other partner-towns or twin-cities by involving the young generation will be part of the seminar as well. Youth organisations are highly recommended to apply together with a representative of municipalities as a tandem.
