An open call for volunteers from across Europe who are willing to do volunteer work in Cagliari, Italy, and the rural areas around it to join a three-week volunteering project "On the Path to Solidarity - Seeds of Volunteering 2025" from 1 to 22 November 2025.

The events will bring together young activists, youth leaders, and youth workers from across Europe to exchange practices, explore European programs, and strengthen the role of volunteering in youth participation and local development.
