Short summary:
This policy paper has been produced by
young participants and International
Voluntary Service (IVS) organisations from
all regions of the world under the
Decolonise IVS! project to reflect on
concepts around solidarity and
decolonization and the changes that are
needed for this.
In this article, we offer a
critical reflection on the
neo-colonial mechanisms
that persist in the funding
structures of the European
Union (EU), in particular in the
youth programmmes of
Erasmus+ and the European
Solidarity Corps.
