On the way to 1000 IVY Volunteers: Join the #1000facesofIVY campaign

The Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) initiative is thrilled to announce that we are on the way to an extraordinary milestone: the deployment of our 1,000th volunteer! This ongoing journey highlights the incredible dedication and enthusiasm of the IVY community, showcasing the profound impact of our collective efforts on territorial cooperation across Europe and beyond.

To commemorate this exciting progress, we’re launching a participative campaign to celebrate the stories, memories, and contributions of everyone in our community—volunteers, mentors, IVY alumni, AEBR’s IVY Team and colleagues at the European Commission. This campaign will run on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn until we officially reach the deployment of volunteer number 1,000.

Here’s how you can join in and help us mark this milestone:

How to Participate:

  1. Post a Memory or Quote: Share your unique IVY experience through a sentence, a photo, or a short video (Instagram Stories are perfect for this!). Feel free to get creative or use our ready-made Canva templates for posts and stories to make your content shine. These templates can be accessed here.

  2. Use Our Hashtag: Include #1000facesofIVY in your post and tag @interregyouth so we can find and showcase your contribution as part of this campaign.

  3. Share on Your Page: Celebrate your contribution by posting directly on your personal social media channels. Prefer to publish through your institution or company’s page? That works too—both options are appreciated!

Quick Canva Template Tutorial:

To make participation easier, we’ve created customizable Canva templates:

  1. Access the templates for posts and stories.

  2. Add your text and images by dragging them into the designated spaces.

  3. Download your creation and post it on your social media with #1000facesofIVY.

Not comfortable with Canva? No problem! You can post your photos, videos, or simply a text freely. Just remember to include the hashtag to be part of the celebration.

  • 1st Prize: A 4-day Interrail Global Pass ticket.

Don’t miss your chance to win and celebrate with us!
