The project

About the project

Join the team of Rota Jovem in Cascais and be the voice of their projects: photos, videos, graphics and posts that bring more young people into European mobility.

Your main focus is communication. You create content about the activities of Rota Jovem, run its social media channels and promote youth events, workshops and mobility opportunities through campaigns, posts and newsletters. You also tell your own ESC story, to inspire other young people to take the step.

You won't spend the year behind a screen: you take part in non-formal education sessions, local events and international youth exchanges, and you can propose your own ideas and projects. A year to grow your skills in communication, teamwork and active citizenship.
