INTRODUCTION
EERco is capable to support volunteers who like to use art to express themselves. By taking their passion for art abroad they could help others pursue or discover their love for art. With opportunities in photography, the performing arts, community projects, and other areas, volunteers for the arts from abroad will have the opportunity to participate in a program specific to their art experience and interests. Our activities include organizing artistic events, festivals, seminars or training courses related to arts, career opportunities and social minorities or disabled population and promoting intercultural understanding through photography projects abroad. An EERco volunteer will have the opportunity to inspire others and practice his art skills in a totally different setting. The volunteers are getting in contact with several social minorities and disabled population or even, very talented youth in the field of Arts. They will also have the opportunity to learn more about Greek Culture, customs and tradition. Our Arts Volunteers can choose from creative arts, film and photography or music and dance project where they can apply their creative eye and enthusiasm for passing messages to the public and inspiring population of any age and motivating people for quality of life.
