Volunteering Teams are solidarity activities that allow groups of minimum 5 participants to volunteer together for a period between 2 weeks and 2 months. Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas are large scale, high impact projects supporting voluntary activities carried out by young people between 18 and 30 years old from at least two different countries coming together to express solidarity. The 2026 call’s main priorities are:
- Enhancing a culture of preparedness across the whole of society and providing relief to persons fleeing armed conflicts and other victims of disaster from natural hazards and human-induced risks
- Fostering positive learning experiences and outcomes for young people with fewer opportunities
- Enhancing intergenerational fairness and solidarity
Organisations willing to submit a proposal must hold a valid Quality Label for Volunteering as lead applicant (managed by Erasmus+ National Agency). More information about the call and the action is available here (p. 52-59). The call is currently open in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal | EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
This event is intended to organisations working in the field of youth and/or solidarity. It aims at providing them information and practical guidance for applying to the call ESC-SOLID-2026-VTHPA, as well as to interact with European Commission/EACEA colleagues.
