About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Urgently looking mainly (but not only) for a brass and a metal (clarinet, trombone, saxophone, flute etc) , bass and drum players for a swing volunteer band to join a very special art and social project. The volunteers will create a Swing Music Band (we already have the other musicians) that will offer concerts to the elderly and vulnerable people in residential houses and hospitals. Due to Covid 19 loneliness has generated a significant increase in senile dementia, reduced mobility, depression and dependency among vulnerable populations. 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. The activities may also include a final Concert with a Local Band or a Lindy Hopper Club probably in Madrid or Alicante. This is the continuation of a VTHPA project you can see in www.aflicas.eu

🏠 Accommodation on site

We primary will stay at our house Casa Jazmin in Sanet in Negrals, Alicante Spain, a small village 100 km from Valencia and Alicante and not far from the sea. The house looks like a youth hostal and will be used by our group. The first days will be used to practise and for group dynamics, and therefore the group will stay at a remote basic house to be able to create a repertory. During the following days, they will be travelling to other locations in Alicante and Madrid nwhere we will stay in Sierra Norte. 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 of working in a team, especially an international one. It´s a project where you can show all your musical talents and creativity. The activities should also include the relation with the eldery in their homes after the concert is finished.

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).
