ESC Group Volunteering – Let`s Clean the Beach
Lefkas, Greece 08 May – 08 June 2025
The beaches of Lefkas island are part of a beautiful natural heritage. In order to preserve these beaches and to encourage locals and visitors into more responsible behavior, we wish to launch this volunteering project, within the frame of the “European Solidarity Corps” program, involving 30 volunteers.
For a month, from 8th of May to 8th of June 2025 (travel days included), ESC volunteers will take part in a project of common interest and public utility. They will clean the beaches and take initiative to raise public awareness about protecting the environment. This can have positive impact on the local community thru the active engagement of the youngsters.
The volunteers will broaden their horizons and take an active role with their European and local peers. They will develop competences regarding environment’s preservation and intercultural mediation. Besides, they will raise their own awareness about different eco-friendly lifestyles and apply the principle “Think globally, act locally”. The volunteers will also take part in activities to develop public spaces (cleaning, murals painting and creation of furniture from recycled material) in view of making spaces attractive and useful for the community.
