🏢 About the local organisation
Volunteering AC (AMVIAC) participates in the transformation of the country through the integration of International Volunteering in projects organized in Mexico and abroad by civil associations, local governments, communities and organized groups, with the idea that after this experience they can become more actively involved in the work of their community.
The vision of the association is the transformation of Mexican society, especially young people, providing them with opportunities to travel and live unique experiences as volunteers both in Mexico and abroad, participating in projects of general interest and reversing that experience in their communities. schools, organizations and jobs, for the betterment of our country.
The Mexican Association of International Volunteers together with the Bacalar City Council, YZ Projects and the Emerge Bak'Halal Foundation and the MÍA Sustentable Foundation, carry out a photographic camp in Bacalar with the theme of climate change. This project aims to raise awareness among the participants and the local community about the challenges that the way we live represents and that has a negative impact on our planet. The tools that will be used to meet the objectives of the project will be photography and international volunteering, aligning the planned activities with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, in particular goal 13 – Climate Action. Environmental experts and photographers will guide the volunteers through practical workshops and actions that allow the local population to be shown photographic images of the importance of protecting our planet. The photographic results will be shown in an exhibition at the end of the camp and this will be open to the general public, either in print or projection (pandemic conditions permitting).
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will use photographic themes to make specific visits to places of interest in the area. They will be able to learn photographic techniques, use of parameters and exposure, angles and perspectives, landscape, night photography, nature photography, self-portrait and documentary photography. They will visit emblematic places such as the different cenotes of the lagoon, the wetlands, sites of geohydrological interest with influence on the lagoon system, the Kohunlich archaeological zone, the Fort of San Felipe and the recognized sites of the Magical Town of Bacalar. In addition, the volunteers will participate in actions of environmental protection, cleaning of spaces by the Fundación MIA Sustentable and in the "Reciclatón" organized by the Bacalar City Council.
