Since its launch in December 2016 eight different EU-wide ESC programmes have been mobilised to offer volunteering, traineeship or job opportunities in solidarity-related sectors to young people across the EU. The ESC builds on the experience of the European Voluntary Service (EVS), which has provided volunteering opportunities for young people for 20 years, as well as policies and programmes such as the Youth Guarantee and the вЂњYour First Eures JobвЂќ. The proposal for a European Solidarity Corps was presented by the Commission as a part of the broader set of initiatives called 'Investing in Europe's Youth' launched on 7 December 2016.

This is a clear message: European solidarity is not just a motto but a reality.
