On the 9th of June, the volunteers of IB Polska and their project coordinator Krystina organized a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) promotional event at Pracownia Młodych Centrum C9 from 17:00 to 19:00. The aim of the event was to introduce the ESC program to young people interested in international volunteering opportunities. The meeting was attended by young people who discovered the event through social media and joined to learn more about the ESC program.

The session was designed to be interactive and engaging: it began with icebreaker activities that helped participants get to know one another, with games such as The Wind Blows and Bingo, that encouraged interaction and participation from the very beginning.

The introductory activities were followed by a presentation which provided an overview of the European Solidarity Corps, its objectives, and the opportunities it offers to young people across Europe. Participants learned about volunteering projects, including both practical information and the benefits of taking part in the program.

To make the learning experience more dynamic, a Kahoot quiz was organized after the presentation, which allowed participants to test their knowledge in a fun way.
The event concluded with a question-and-answer session, during which attendees had the opportunity to ask about different aspects of the ESC program.
Overall, the meeting successfully achieved its goal of promoting the European Solidarity Corps and inspiring young people to explore opportunities for active participation, solidarity and international exchange.
