About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Looking for volunteers (primarily musicians) to join a very special music, art, and social project. The volunteers will create a band that will offer concerts. Additionally, we’d like to involve dancers, so they can participate and unite in the emotional bonds between people of different generations. They will additionally have activities relating to socialization with the local community, such as practicing English with kids, spending time in elderly houses, making music, and get in touch with different people. Loneliness has generated a significant increase in senile dementia, reduced mobility, depression, and dependency among the vulnerable population. Thus, these activities and concerts will not only become additional entertainment, but above all, an opportunity for social relations and the dissemination of healthy practices and healthy living. Therefore, we’re looking for volunteers who play musical instruments, but volunteers with social skills are very welcomed as well.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The group will live at a two-floor house in Sanet y Negrals in Alicante. There is a common area, kitchen, multiple bathrooms, three bedrooms, and a roof terrace at the house. Place to play the instruments and rehearse will be arranged, and basic instruments are provided. Food expenses are covered by De Amicitia, the volunteers will cook their meals. Travel expenses to Sanet y Negrals will be covered up to a travel budget. During the project, the volunteers have access to vehicles for project activities and in very special ocassions to explore the area.

🎒 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, cook together and raise their level of cultural tolerance, and practice English and Spanish. In addition, it´s a great experience to work in a team, especially in an international one. It´s a project where you can show all your musical talents, creativity, and make some core memories! Being with the local community, the volunteers will have a chance to learn about Spanish culture.They will expand their musical horizon. Fu

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated young people who are responsible, are interested in making music and spending time with children and elderly (however, the group can be split in two parts based on music and based on social charity activities). In order to enrich the group, dancers, painters, and video-makers can also apply. Volunteers with fewer opportunities, and volunteers with Spanish knowledge are also very welcomed 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).
