European Solidarity Corps
Volunteering Projects at Bialystok University of Technology:
We warmly invite young people aged 18–30 to take part in group volunteering projects organised at Bialystok University of Technology under the European Solidarity Corps (ESC).
Group volunteering projects are international initiatives that bring together young people from different countries to engage in activities benefiting local communities. They offer an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience, develop new skills, discover different cultures, and build international friendships. Participation in these projects fosters teamwork, communication, creativity, and social responsibility.
Since 2024, Bialystok University of Technology has successfully implemented group volunteering projects thanks to obtaining the European Solidarity Corps Quality Label, which confirms the high standards of the organisation and delivery of volunteering activities.
The projects carried out at the University are aligned with the University’s sustainable development strategy, “My Green University of Technology”, promoting environmental protection, social inclusion, and active engagement of young people in activities that contribute to the common good. As part of the projects, participants are involved in initiatives related to environmental education, the creation of green spaces, the organisation of social and cultural events, and activities supporting the local community.
If you are between 18 and 30 years old, would like to gain valuable experience, develop your competences, and become part of an international community of volunteers – join our projects!
We are looking for participants who are:
- open-minded, creative, and proactive;
- able to work effectively in a team and take responsibility for their tasks;
- able to communicate in English;
- tolerant, well-organised, and willing to comply with project rules;
- eager to learn and participate in training activities.
The following will be considered an advantage:
- an interest in environmental protection and sustainability;
- willingness to take part in promotional activities;
- enthusiasm for sharing experiences and promoting the idea of volunteering.
