WHAT IS A SENIOR VOLUNTEERING PROJECT? A Grundtvig Senior Volunteering Project is a volunteering exchange project between organisations located in two different European countries. They enable senior volunteers (aged 50 and above) to volunteer with a not for profit organisation in another European country for any kind of activity on any topic e.g. history, cooking, language, arts and culture etc. By doing so, the organisations sending or hosting volunteers will create lasting European co-operation through the project.
