- exploring how to support solidarity and mutual learning among volunteers and local community in the time of COVID19, with a special focus on young people with fewer opportunities
- sharing best practices, which could be directly adapted in the project facing a crisis with isolation and virus.
- as a result finding solutions to deal with ESC volunteering projects in the present situation
- harvesting impulses how to work constructively with the present situation, how to monitor it, take lessons, evaluate it, and plan future steps
- creating a networking space for mutual support among the different actors (coordinators, mentors, volunteers, stakeholders)
- sharing good practice examples on how to continue the implementation of ESC volunteering project during pandemic times
- developing strategic solutions for our organisations, collecting recommendations for stakeholder (NA and SALTO), empowering volunteers for networking
