Within the framework of European Solidarity Corps-funded voluntary work projects, we host both individual volunteers and volunteer groups from various countries at the Sansusī residency center. Through their volunteer work, young people support the activities of the association, improve the facilities of the residency center and help ensure its operation, assist in organizing the Sansusī Festival, support the local community, and through cultural exchange, creativity, solidarity, and inclusive activities, get to know themselves and others.
