Young people in Europe serving the common good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Rome, at the event organised for Europe Day, I meet Aldo Bernabei, who has long been committed in the political world to create opportunities for young Europeans to meet, engage socially and work together. On this occasion, he tells me about a recent European Union Project: the European Solidarity Corps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Solidarity Corps: what is it all about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an EU-funded project, approved in 2018, for young men and women between the ages of 18 and 30, with the aim of developing young people’s sense of European citizenship through a period of voluntary work. It must be offered in at least three different European countries and include a prior training course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it organised in concrete terms?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is intended to offer young people the opportunity to engage in programmes aimed at the common good. Within their own countries, national associations or agencies propose the funding of projects aimed at social initiatives, helping people in poverty, also in non-European countries, or undertaking cultural activities, e.g. on the identity of their own country. These work assignments give European-level credits that can be used for entry into the labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the long-term outlook?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is hoped that \u2018national civil services\u2019 will be established throughout Europe, so that in the future there will be a civil service at European level and that volunteer status will be mutually recognised by all countries. To this end, an appeal was formulated>><\/a>, addressed in particular to MEPs, for their support of the Programme ‘European Solidarity Corps’ in view of a Europe of solidarity, active citizenship and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
