As part of your project, you need to produce a short video/testimony about your ESC project in Aruba.

What is a video-testimonial

A video testimonial is a short video where you speak about your experience while also showing clips of you in action during your project, with your voice playing over the images. These videos are very important: they help inspire other young people to take part in similar opportunities, and they also allow us to show our funders the valuable work you are doing.

When to Create the Video

🕙 If your project is less than 2 months: Send your video 1-2 weeks before your project ends. If you’re almost done, film while in Aruba and send it after your return.
🕖 If your project is longer: Send one video halfway through and another 1-2 weeks before the end.

What to Include:

1️⃣ Introduce yourself (name, age, UK city). Mention you’re doing a “European Solidarity Corps project in Aruba in the field of…”
2️⃣ Describe your project and activities (professionally and during free time).
3️⃣ Share what you’ve learned (professionally and personally).
4️⃣ Explain how this project could help you in the future.
⚠️ Important: Do not call it a “trip.”

Tips for the Video:

✅ Keep it short (1-2 minutes).
✅ Use your phone in landscape format, if possible
✅ Speak somewhere quiet (Aruba is windy!) with a nice background.
✅ Add clips or pictures of you in action during your project.
