    Faced with the situation of need, we have  Faced with the situation of need, we have promoted a new project with great enthusiasm and, above all, a great desire to help: a social kitchen, in Madrid. The kitchen, located in a space on loan by the Palacio de Vistalegre, already offers 300 menus per week. The aim of this new initiative is to meet the food needs of hundreds of families affected by the pandemic.But to achieve this, we need volunteers who get involved and can give their time to help others. To start social cooking, we have had numerous entities that have supported us, especially @palaciovistalegre and @fuenllana_fp. In addition, efforts have been made @grupolafabrica_, @velilla_workwear, #Integra2, #MVGM, #GrupoTelefónica, @nhhotels, @gran_melia, @bergnereurope and the @covey_alquiler . #CocinaSocial #LivingforOthers #TocarSinContacto

Because of the current situation, we cannot enter the hospitals of the city and we decided to sing to them from the inner courtyard of the hospital. A group of college kids, along with some family member and kids from late school, were singing at full throttle on a winter afternoon. Several prepared hot wine so they could sing more joyfully and others brought musical instruments. The best was to see them peeking out of the windows. In the end several old ladies came out to meet us to thank us. #Hungary #IYC #EuropeanUnion #LivingforOthers

In this socio-education📚 support program, “Volando Juntos”, the students grow in values and scientific knowledge thanks to STEM🔬🔭🧪 workshops. They learn through different games, experimentation and problem solution. With this project, we guarantee that minors at risk of social exclusion have more options to achieve a better future. This initiative is possible thanks to the @boeing collaboration✈️, with whom we have been working for more than 10 years, and which is commited to an educational model based on time and dedication. #Boeing #VolandoJuntos #IYC #Europe #Spain #Children

Our main project is called #YouthRevolution and includes multiple activities like the Flea Market for Others. It was an activity suggested by our volunteers to get more funds for other solidarity activities, always wanting to reach more people and help more people. In the words of our volunteer: "There is nothing stronger in the world than the heart of a volunteer". We are meeting new volunteers every week. It is beautiful to see that despite the difficulties of the present, helping others is a meeting point for so many young people from different backgrounds. #IYC #EuropeanUnion #LivingforOthers #Finland

We show them the benefits that Internet has and all the information that they can find. The main focus is to solve problems together. A problem can be to navigate through Internet so they can identify if a message received is spam or real. But not all detectives work at the same place and that is when you can find Carlo (in the picture) who takes a more personal approach and help them move forward. #Sweden #EuropeanUnion #InternationalYouthCooperation #Charity #Volunteering
    🔴SLOVAKIA Visits in senior houses We have sta 🔴SLOVAKIA Visits in senior houses We have started visits in senior houses. At first we were not sure what does it yield to manage such an activity. We did not know how to prepare for this event. In spite of the doubts, we were looking forward to meeting up with such an experience. In fact, it was quite tough. The first time we crossed the door to the house, I was assigned to a woman with considerable weak hearing, so I had to higher my voice at her when I wanted to talk with her. She was quite introvert, because she was not used to have visitors. Well, I returned home with weakened voice, totally tired, but absolutely satisfied. Before I left, she expressed her appreciation and explained to me how much it means for her that she could speak to someone. So we realised how potential this activity is in concern of getting to know other young men, spending time with them beneficially, creating friendships and how many joy we could spread by being perseverant in this charity. So we continued with this, sometimes two times a week. We thought we will adapt to the difficulties. Sometimes it was tougher afterwards. Rather than adapting to them, we learned to welcome them, arbitrarily, in order to conjure up a smile on a face. Later we introduced monthly birthday parties with a performed musical show, when many of the seniors sing with us and enjoy beautiful moments of disruption of the difficult monotonous life. #IYC #EuropeanSolidarityCorps #EuropeanUnion #Slovakia #Elderly

Volunteering with @iyc_latvia tougher with a mutual friend I was able to get to know Roberts who was diagnosed with #multiplesclerosis in his late 20’s. His situation and our conservations truly impressed me. Last weekend we visited our mutual friend who lives together with his brother and mother in a suburb of Riga and helped him celebrate his 40th birthday. He has a Ph.D. in vision sciences but cannot pursue his career due to his advanced illness. Since he studied German for a while, we mostly speak in German besides Latvian and English. Especially discussing the cultural differences growing up in Latvia, Germany and the U.S. are very entertaining for each of us. Our visits at his place are always extremely #inspirational because despite his condition, he is radiating positivism and is encouraging us to see life as a gift. It may sound like a cliché, but we seem to benefit more from these visits than Roberts, since it helps us put our own little ¨problems¨ in perspective. Next time we plan to take him on a trip and visit the beach to see the Baltic sea", Félix, one of the @iyc_latvia volunteers #IYC #LivingforOthers #Latvia #Volunteering #EuropeanUnion

The activities include #ecovolunteering, distributing food to people in need, organizing flea markets and much more! One great step forward was the arrival of #Pedro, a spanish volunteer from the @erasmusplusfinland and the #EuropeanSolidarityCorps. Pedro has been coordinating volunteers, contacting youth associations and taking part in designing new social projects. #Finland #LivingforOthers #SolidarityYouth #Suomi
    This is our last awareness campaign. It can be rel This is our last awareness campaign. It can be related with the current situation and it's something that will never stop being important. We are all born with an invisible birth mark. A sign that doesn't disappear with age. It's present in any kind of skin, regardless of sex or the number of chromosomes. It has a light that neither defrost nor heat can fade. Sea water wont corroded. Doesn't grow them through lonelyness. Not get cloudy with the fumes of war. It is a life long spot on us. That birth mark is called #Dignity. Make it visible. Are you ready for our new campaign?? #Dignity

We know that conditions are different, but we dont want to stop serving people living in a vulnerable situation. We believe that now, more than ever, we have to be close to those who need it most. For this reason, young people continue to help in the distribution of food or breakfast routes with the homeless. Thanks to the volunteers who get involved even in the most difficult moments! #EuropeanUnion #Volunteering #Spain

    We have already started working on the new awarene We have already started working on the new awareness campaign. But before you know it, we want to show you one of the previous campaigns. From International Youth Cooperation we appeal to youth with this awareness campaign. The purpose is to promote the social participation of young people, to make them aware of the importance that anyone can be capable of changing the world. You just have to put the routine aside and want to make that difference. And to do so, you don't need magic, rituals or fire ... you just have to have that desire to want to get involved for others and maintain that good will to be able to go out there and let ourselves be marked by the world. #EuropeanUnion #SolidarityYouth #LetTheWorldAroundYouMoveYou
    We have already reached 12 countries, after the la We have already reached 12 countries, after the latest incorporations of Estonia, Croatia, Portugal and Hungary, which join Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Finland and Sweden. We operate in 12 countries that develop activities to promote a culture of responsibility and solidarity among young Europeans: social action programs in favor of children and youth, training and educational programs, youth exchanges and volunteering.   #InternationalYouthCooperation works from its birth to promote concern for solidarity in young peoplearound the world, investing on a youth that is capable of learning, committing and working selflessly to achieve a fairer and more inclusive society. And with the hope these 12 countries are just the beginning. #EuropeanUnion #Solidarity #Youth
    Now more than ever, we have to care for the most v Now more than ever, we have to care for the most vulnerable. For this reason, the #elderly need attention and above all, company. Something that we can give them through a phone call, a letter or a visit. They have the experience, the stories, the knowledge, you have the ability to listen, look, smile and learn. We cannot let #loneliness turn into a pandemic like the one we are experiencing. Take care of the elderly. #EuropeanUnion
    🔴CROATIA Over the months we have tried to help 🔴CROATIA Over the months we have tried to help out in the dinning room that the Sisters of Charity have in Zagreb. It is a simple volunteering. From #IYCCroatia we try to help in the kitchen, serve dishes, give conversation and pick up the dinning room once all the diners have left. In short, they are not great actions, but you can see the impact it has on many of the people who go to that dinning room. It is striking that young university students try to serve food with a smile, a phrase of encouragement, a joke. And for the volunteers themselves, it is a turning point. The sisters have asked us to help out at a summer camp they organize every summer. We will see if, due to COVID, we can really help. For a supportive summer! #EuropeanUnion #Croatia #IYC
    🔴HUNGARY From IYC Magyarország one of the act 🔴HUNGARY From IYC Magyarország one of the activities in recent months has been helping the Hungarian Down Foundation for the Development of the Mentally Disabled. We started last summer by painting three of the apartments they have in one of the districts of Budapest. During the one week of work in August, there was no time to finish everything up: as of now we have been able to finish painting one of the apartments and change the hardwood floors of one of the rooms that was in a very bad condition. Between several university students and the help of a bricklayer who cooperates with us we have managed to leave a nice apartment for our 5 friends. We were very grateful that during the two days of work we were served some very delicious dishes for us at lunchtime. A detail that makes the work more enjoyable. In the photo you can see Ábris and Efra. #Hungary #IYC #EuropeanUnion

Despite this, in Spain we are trying to help in various solidarity acts by complying with hygiene and sanitation measures. #PaintingforOthers is one of the projects that we are doing in different parts of Spain. This initiative aims to rehabilitate homes for people with limited resources. We consider that everyone has the right to decent housing. In addition, Painting for Others also aims to sensitize the youngest to the problems faced by people who are in their closest environment. Valencia, Madrid, the Canary Islands, Galicia and Cantabria are some of the areas in Spain where this summer hundreds of young people will be painting houses. #InternationalYouthCooperation #EuropeanUnion #Painting
    ⚫ESTONIA One of the activities that we carry ou ⚫ESTONIA One of the activities that we carry out regularly is to visit the elderly in different residences. In the summer of 2019, one of the volunteers, Rebecca (18), a student in the last year of secondary school, after one of these visits thought about what she could do to help regularly. She studies art and is very good at painting. She thought that a painting workshop could be organized in a nursing home near where she lives. Through IYC Eesti we contacted the residence management and told them about Rebecca's initiative. They liked the idea and a little before the end of the year we started to go there every 15 days to paint with the elderly. Rebecca planned all the different sessions: painting a vase with flowers, copying landscapes, etc. Several people helped financially to buy the material. About 10 nursing home residents participated. Some are very fond of painting and it gave them the opportunity to paint again after several years, for others it was a good challenge that they enjoyed and there were always some who came to see the talents of their friends. When the covid19 crisis started we had to stop the activity for a while, but we hope to continue. #IYC #Estonia #EuropeanUnion
    ⚫SWEDEN For those that aren’t too young but n ⚫SWEDEN For those that aren’t too young but not too old and try to be as independent as they have lived their whole  life, we have started a course that teaches them to unlock the knowledge of their smartphones. With the collaboration with a Swedish foundation, Bilda, we started a 8 day course where we use a platform that give them a case which they need to solve with the help of their personal phones and then help them if they struggle. The name of the project is “Digitaljakten”. Of course we end the day with a traditional Swedish “Fika”. The project is still ongoing but is on hold because of the current situation with the pandemic. #Sweden #IYC #EuropeanUnion
