Surf on the voluntary wave

06/07/2020 | Door ZAP | Reizen

Joan Rico (23) volunteered in August 2019 in the project 'Surf on the voluntary wave', a cooperation between JOETZ vzw and S-Sport//Recreas. Spanish & Belgian youngsters work together as a voluntary team for two weeks. During this short term ESC they guide people with disabilities during their surf lessons. Joan explains Lela, former ESC volunteer at JOETZ, what the project was all about.

JOETZ supports everyone who wants to do ESC

ESC entails full-time volunteer work in Europe. You work together with other European youngsters towards solidarity in Europe considering a diversity of themes. ESC is for everyone between 18 to 30 years and is possible for a period from 2 months to 1 year. It goes along with several benefits such as receiving a Youth pass, networking, living abroad independently, time and space for self-reflection and personal development, etc.
