Curba de Cultură focuses on teenagers and youth development. Our mission is to use non-formal education as a complementary method to the formal educational system for young people. We want to create the premises for a better development of the young people and their more suited integration within their respective communities. We want to make young people aware that they actively belong to their local and national culture.

    Hi there,

    This is an European Solidarity Corps project (the new programme that includes the former EVS) and you can see above what is provided through the project, as well as selection criteria and tasks for volunteers to accomplish.

    I hope this was helpful.
