Inclusive Horizons - ESC Team Volunteering in Budapest, Hungary (Fully Funded)

An open call for 20 young people from EU countries who are passionate about developing their life skills that support independent living, to apply for the ESC Team Volunteering project "Inclusive Horizons," which takes place in Budapest, Hungary, for two weeks. This Inclusive Summer Volunteer Camp is organised by Salva Vita Foundation and funded by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps programme.

About the volunteering

Inclusive Horizons is a two-week ESC Team volunteering project organised by Salva Vita Foundation for young people aged 18 - 30 with or without disabilities from EU countries. During the project, participants learn from each other and practice essential everyday life skills that support independent living. 

During the working days from Monday to Friday, volunteers will work together to improve and maintain the host organisation's inclusive community space through activities like gardening, cooking, cleaning, and small repairs. Alongside the practical work, organisers focus on personal growth, teamwork, and building a supportive community.

The camp offers a safe, welcoming environment where inclusion and cooperation are key. It’s a great chance to be part of a close-knit and meaningful experience this summer.
