Public Consultation on the mobility of young volunteers across the EU

Last updated on Thursday, 06/05/2021

Have your say on how mobility of young volunteers across the EU can be improved.

The European Commission has launched a consultation to collect citizens’ views and identify new challenges and opportunities for young people taking part in volunteering projects around the EU, including under the European Solidarity Corps.

The consultation will contribute to revising the 2008 Council recommendation on mobility of young volunteers, in order to adapt to a constantly evolving society. 

This initiative will allow young people in Europe to take full advantage of the opportunities in the new European Solidarity Corps and to participate in optimal conditions in cross-border solidarity activities organised by national authorities or private bodies. It will take into account health challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as digitalisation, social inclusion, inter-generational solidarity and climate change.

If you are interested in contributing to reinforce mobility of young volunteers, you just have to share your views and comment here in any of the 24 EU official languages 

The consultation is open until 21 July 2021.
