The choice of Link to organize this Advance Planning Visit (APV) in Matera on September 2026 is deeply rooted in the city’s evolving identity as a bridge between cultures. 

As Matera takes on the mantle of Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue 2026, our project aims to be one of the first concrete laboratories. 

To ensure the success of the Logoi & Dialogoi APV and the long-term impact of our MedEu Strategy, we are looking for participants who meet the following criteria:

Geographic Focus: You must represent a youth organization based in one of the following Mediterranean countries: Greece, Malta, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Spain, Portugal and France.

ESC Expertise: You should have at least 2 years of experience in managing projects within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program. We are looking for experienced partners who understand the qualitative standards of the corps.

Decision-Making Power: You must hold a decisional position within your organization (e.g., ProjectManager, President, or Head of International Dept.).This is crucial because the APV aims to sign concrete agreements for future cooperations.

Language Skills: A good command of English is required. English will be our "common logos"—the language used for all working sessions, technical planning, and social interaction.

Proactive Mindset: Participants must come prepared to share concrete proposals for future cooperation,whether as a Sending or Hosting organization. The goal of this APV is to leave Matera with a clear roadmap for 2026-2027.
