Welcome
The illustrations in the provided Wiki pages are for consultation purpose only and may not always reflect the latest implementation.
This page explains how to add and manage activities for European Solidarity Corps ESC51-VTJ Volunteering projects via the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps platform.
An activity is a set of tasks performed within the same location, the same time frame and the same scope. A group of participants are associated to the activity with a unique activity ID. The association of a participant to an activity is referred to as a participation.
It is recommended to create offers that are to be grouped for the same activity ID using the same offer title. In this way, all participants that have accepted offers related to the same activity ID can be easily associated to the same activity.

Prerequisites
In order to add activities, you must first add the relevant partner organisations in the Organisations section of the project. All participating organisations must hold a Quality Label and organisations hosting activities must hold a Quality Label for the host role.
For activities carried out under Call 2021, the following restrictions apply for organisations holding a Quality Label or Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation granted in the previous Multiannual Financial Framework (2014-2020):
Organisations holding a Quality Label for volunteering:
The Quality Label validity for these organisations is extended for the same role, until 31 December 2027. In specific cases the NAs may ask some Quality Label holders to submit new applications, under the new programme. If these organisations wish to change role or add another role, they are required to submit a new application for Quality Label. Those that intend to keep the same role but also wish to act as lead organisation under Volunteering Projects in the new programme are required to fill in the lead organisation section in the application form.
Organisations holding an Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation
These organisations were able to use their accreditation to take part in activities for the same role until 31 December 2021. They were required to apply for a Quality Label for the new programming period in order to participate as lead organisation under Volunteering Projects in the new programme. For activities carried out under Call 2021 but ending after 31 December 2021, or for activities carried out under Call 2022, these organisations are required to submit a new application for Quality Label.
