ESC is an international volunteer program funded by the European Commission. It enables all young people legally resident in Europe, aged between 18 and 30 years, to carry out an international volunteer service in an organisation or in a public body in Europe, Africa, Asia or South America for a period ranging from 2 to 12 months in full-time. It provides the reimbursement of travel expenses and complete coverage of the costs of food and accommodation for the international volunteer. You are also covered by complementary insurance. For more information, visit the ESC official webpage.
The project
The Interdisciplinary program is a European Solidarity Corps project organised annually by STPLN in Malmö, Sweden. Communication and Community Impact is the theme of this year's ESC project. The project is a ten-month (September to June) ESC experience for three young, aspiring European creatives to gain experience working within the Creative and Cultural Industries. Volunteers will form an in-house interdisciplinary creative team tasked with various communication-related activities utilising a range of mediums and techniques.
Volunteers will be part of something unique, where they will create, build, and develop. Possessing an open mind, willingness to collaborate, listen, and contribute ideas and suggestions is crucial. Through this project, volunteers will acquire the capacity and experience to pursue careers in the creative industries. Upon completion of the project, volunteers will depart with an outstanding portfolio of projects and the ability to develop clear and effective communication campaigns for diverse purposes.

Our Organisation
STPLN is a hub for independent creators, located in the southern Swedish city of Malmö. The house is open to projects in the social, cultural and creative sector. It contains workshops, studios, event facilities, and shared offices where individuals, groups and organisations can realise their ideas. In addition to the facilities, STPLN offers a creative incubator and residency for Malmö's free culture life. Projects at STPLN range from short temporary workshops, seminars, or exhibitions to long-term residence projects developed in the house for several years. What is common for the projects is that they span across the genres of art and culture, technology and design, crafts, and education. The organisation has just moved to a new building, which means a blank canvas that needs to be filled with new initiatives and projects. As we go through this transition, it is important for us to have a strong community and to create a space that will invite new faces. As a volunteer, you will help with building and opening up new creative opportunities, welcoming new audiences, and promoting more sustainable practices. You are also expected to handle some administrative activities at the front desk of the space. You will have a supportive team that values your contributions and fosters an inclusive atmosphere at STPLN.
