About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Looking for musicians to join a very special art and social project. The volunteers will create a Band (with some Swing in their repertoire, if possible) that will offer concerts to the elderly and vulnerable people in residential houses. Due to Covid 19, loneliness has generated a significant increase in senile dementia, reduced mobility, depression, and dependency among the 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. To make the project more visible there might be a final Concert in a Youth or Social Centre. Therefore MAINLY volunteers with skills to play musical instruments will be principally included in the selection process

🏠 Accommodation on site

The group will be at a basic hostel near a hamlet named Siete Iglesias, 3 km away from a 600 inhabitants town named Lozoyuela, 65 km away from Madrid. The hostel is simple but has space to play and not disturb the neighbours so it's good for the weeks to be able to create a repertory and practise. During the following days, they will be travelling to other locations mainly by public transport. Food expenses are covered by De Amicitia. The volunteers are meant to cook their meals.

🎒 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 to work 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 for young people who have musical skills and can play an instrument to be included in a Pop/Rock/Swing Band.

Additionally, to [email protected], Spanish knowledge is very welcome
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).
