ESC – AFS Pre-

Application
Local ESC projects
Thank you for showing interest in one or more of our local ESC projects!

Important Hosting Facts:

- The volunteer will stay & live with a local Belgian host family. The integration in the local culture by
living in a host family is an important part of the project. Only volunteers who are truly motivated to
live in a Belgian host family should apply for this project! Please do consider that our host families
are not necessarily living near the project, especially if your project is in a larger city like Brussels,
Antwerp, Gent,.... You might have to take public transportation, so take into account that travelling
between home and work might take some time.
- The spoken language in all these projects is Dutch. Volunteers should be motivated to learn Dutch
during their ESC program. You will receive access to the mandatory Online Linguistic Service of
Erasmus+, but you should be motivated to take initiative to learn the language also on you own.
- Almost all projects are individual projects
- Once you are accepted as an ESC-volunteer in a project, we will ask you to provide us with:
o A guarantee of 75 euro (which will be refunded right after your arrival in Belgium,
together with the pocket money for the first month)
o A health form signed and stamped by your doctor (we will give you a form)

Application Procedure:

Please send the following documents to [email protected]. 


1. This filled in pre-application form with motivation letter (for a specific project) and host family letter
2. A picture of yourself
3. Your Curriculum Vitae (preferably Europass)

We are looking forward to welcome you in Belgium Flanders!

opportunity to integrate in the local community.
