What is the iLIVE! Project?
The iLIVE! Project is a collaborative short-term European Solidarity Corps Volunteering Teams project that aims to provide learning experiences for young people with disabilities to learn about the context of volunteering in the sports sector.
Its focus is to foster positive learning experiences and outcomes through volunteering in sports, breaking down barriers. Malta is partnering with Spain, Belgium, Turkey, and Albania.
What did volunteers do?
The volunteers designed campaigns to reach out to Voluntary Organisations in the sports sector, inviting them to offer more inclusive volunteering opportunities that will benefit the community, especially young people with disabilities.
The volunteers also organised workshops for young people with disabilities to learn new skills to help them volunteer in the sports sector.
When did this take place?
The iLIVE! Project took place between the 25th June 2025 to the 15th July 2025.

The project was open to young volunteers aged between 18 and 30 from the partnering countries.
