Project description:
The Inclusive Learning In Volunteering Experiences (ILIVE) project provides learning experiences for young people with disabilities. It unites European Solidarity Corps volunteers in international teams for short-term interventions supporting young people with disabilities to learn in the context of sports volunteering.

Focused on fostering positive learning experiences and outcomes, the initiative includes campaigns to attract young people with disabilities to volunteer in both mainstream and disability-focused sports, breaking down barriers. It will involve a total of 72 volunteers from five European countries in six activities spanning 19 days each. 

The project objectives are:

• To promote positive learning experiences and outcomes through volunteering in sports clubs and sports events for young people with disabilities.
• Promote solidarity across the participating countries.
• To enable the young ESC volunteers to gain skills and competences which are useful for their personal, educational, social and professional development.
• To provide tangible benefits to the communities within which the activities are carried out, especially to the young people with disabilities and their families that will be supported by the ESC volunteers.
• To reach out in a direct way to young people with fewer opportunities, specially those with disabilities.
• To foster critical thinking and a sense of initiative among young people.
• To reinforce the capacities and international scope of the participating organizations.
