About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This is a VTHPA project and we are looking for musicians, specially a trombonist, a singer and a bass player and above all drummers, a bass and piano players and video makers to join a very special project. Volunteers will create a Swing Music Band that will offer concerts to the elderly and vulnerable people in residencial houses and hospitals. Due to Covid 19 loneliness has generated a significant increase in senile dementia, reduced mobility, depression and dependency among vulnerable population. In fact, these concerts will not only become additional entertainment but above all an opportunity for social relations and the dissemination of healthy practices and healthy living. Also, we want to involve dancers so that they participate and unite in the emotional bonds between people of different generations. Therefore ONLY volunteers with skills to play musical instruments will be principally included in the selection process.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The first days will be used to practise and for group dynamics, and therefore the group will stay at a remote house to be able to create a repertory. During the following days, they will be travelling to other locations. Food expenses are covered by De Amicitia. The volunteers are meant to cook their meals (we have a staff in the house for help them in this task)

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will have an opportunity to live and play together in a group of people of different nationalities, so they can learn many interesting things from each other and raise their level of cultural tolerance. Also, it's a great experience of working in a team, especially an international one. It's a project where you can show all your musical talents and creativity.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking prefererably for very motivated young people who have excellent musical skills and can play an instrument to be inlcude in a Swing Band. Lindy hop dancers and video makers may be included somehow as long as the can play music. Candidates SHOULD send us a video where we can evaluate their skills as a musician together with a CV additionally to [email protected], Spanish knowledge is very welcome. Any other volunteer, including also those with fewer opportunities are also welcome to apply.
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
