The Live Room Volunteering Program is a youth-driven initiative launched in Tangier to strengthen community engagement while preparing young Moroccans for professional and international opportunities. Built on the sequence “Learn, Act, Grow,” the program connects local volunteering with Erasmus+ Youth Exchange experiences and the European Solidarity Corps volunteering program, offering young participants a clear developmental journey.

At the heart of the project is the Solidarity Club, where young volunteers deliver free artistic/cultural workshops in four public schools across Tangier. Theatre, Robotics, Painting and Music disciplines, each welcome fifteen children per school, providing consistent bi-weekly sessions from November to June. A structured volunteer system ensures smooth operations, with specialized teams managing coaching, communications, and administration.

To support these responsibilities, members receive continuous training through a bi-weekly capacity-building program covering child protection, pedagogy, facilitation, leadership, and intercultural skills. This training allows volunteers to grow professionally while applying their knowledge directly in classroom settings.

The program culminates in a merit-based selection for Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges. Only volunteers who demonstrate long-term commitment, reliability, leadership, and strong motivation are chosen to represent Live Room abroad. These exchanges, typically held in summer, offer exceptional learning experiences and broaden participants’ global outlook.

The initiative delivers measurable impact: more than 250 children gain access to creative education; schools build stronger community ties; volunteers develop confidence and professional skills; and the community benefits from renewed engagement in solidarity and civic action. For Live Room, the model provides a sustainable, scalable approach to youth development in Tangier.

More than a project, the Solidarity Club is an ecosystem that nurtures local talent and connects it to the world. By linking community service to international mobility, Live Room empowers young people to become capable, compassionate leaders ready to drive positive change locally and beyond.
