Volunteering, especially through Erasmus projects, provides opportunities for youth to help others in need while also developing their own skills. Erasmus projects allow students to work internationally on tasks like assisting refugees or doing community work. Through volunteering, students build social and communication abilities, self-confidence, and general knowledge by collaborating with peers of different backgrounds on meaningful projects. Volunteering benefits both the recipients of aid as well as the volunteers themselves.

Erasmus projects provide students with
great opportunities, volunteering is
among these ones.
This possibility of being part of an
international team develops the students
social and communicative skills, their self
confidence is enlarged and their general
knowledge is seriously enriched.
The students’ feeling of usefulness and
their important role as a part of the
whole, make possible all these
connections and relationships among
them. There are no nationalities, no age
groups, no religions …there are just
teenagers ready to work together! This is
the genuine Erasmus feeling!
