EU Regional Policy (DG REGIO) has just launched

“Interreg Volunteer Youth” (IVY) and became part of the European Solidarity Corps initiative launched by President Juncker.

We would like to encourage you to join this great initiative that offers the possibility to young Europeans aged 18-30 to serve as volunteers in cross-border, transnational or interregional programmes and related projects. The initiative is aimed at involving young European volunteers to support, promote and report the concrete achievements of these programmes and projects, as well as generally promote cooperation across borders and related values such as solidarity. The IVY will give volunteers the opportunity to familiarise with the Interreg programmes and projects, make them aware of the many benefits of collaboration among EU internal borders as well as enhance their sense of European solidarity, citizenship and civic engagement. The minimum volunteering period is 2 months and the maximum 6 months.

You can find out more about this amazing opportunity on the IVY website https://www.interregyouth.com/
We strongly believe this is a great chance for the Interreg world and we encourage you to circulate this information among your Interreg projects so that they can join this exciting pilot project.
