Ensuring safe and secure environment for European Solidarity Corps Volunteers

Seminar

Activity open to professionals within the ESC programme willing to collaborate on developing safeguarding policies in order to ensure safety through feedback, expertise, and knowledge exchange.

There are various challenges that European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteers can face. Difficult and challenging situations in which hosting organisations need to provide support. Different crises may impact volunteers' security, which is why  SALTO ESC and National Agencies gathered in the Strategic National Agency Cooperation on Volunteering are initiating the development of a document on safeguarding policies.

We need you! To ensure the most relevant and accessible safeguarding policies and approaches, we need all of the best minds and passionate individuals at the table. Bringing both experience and motivation to work toward strengthening the safe and secure environment for ESC volunteers. 

Are you interested in:

  • Contributing to the development of safeguarding policies within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme?
  • Sharing your expertise and collaborating with colleagues on comprehensive guidelines for ESC organisations?
  • Engaging in discussions and knowledge exchange on safeguarding best practices?
  • Testing and reviewing the different tools and resources existing within the topic of safeguarding? 

We invite you to a residential meeting in Latvia (September 22nd-26th, 2024) to contribute to the development and finalisation of high-quality safeguarding policies and guidelines for the ESC programme.

This meeting is organised by SALTO European Solidarity Corps and Latvian National Agency.
