What is the European Solidarity Program (ESC)?

The European Solidarity Program (ESC) is a European Union initiative aimed at fostering young people's personal, educational, social, civic, and professional development. The program offers young individuals opportunities to participate in volunteer work, employment, or networking activities within projects that benefit society, both domestically and internationally.

ESC brings young people together to build a more inclusive society, support vulnerable groups, and respond to social challenges. The program provides a meaningful, empowering experience for those who seek to help, learn, and grow.
