2019 Call for Volunteer Projects

November 2019

Considering the high interest in the previous call for proposals and the valuable experiences of working together, a new fund has been earmarked for solidarity projects and social voluntary actions involving at least three member institutions for the benefit of a disadvantaged community.

 

 

GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSALS
