Boras Sweden European Solidarity Corps The centres are open to all age groups but the project focus is mainly on young people aged 10-18. Our mission is to provide leisure activities together with the visitors (arts&culture, music, sports, etc.), promote participation and non-formal learning in different ways. The centres are located in different areas of the city but they all have youth and community work in common. The volunteers will work together with the staff in the daily activities of the centres, by interacting with the visitors, leading leisure activities for and with young people and taking part in relevant trainings and meetings. The volunteers will also have the mission of promoting ESC and Erasmus+ to young people in Borås through organising events and activities, visiting schools and using social media.
