About the project

ESC: BAM

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Tur Cos Ta Posibel is deeply active in KIA, the prison of Aruba, through ESC Volunteering projects both in long-term and TEAM activities. BAM (acronym for Barbering, Art and Mechanics) is going to be a 3 weeks project that aims to engage the young detainees (age 21-30) of the male department of KIA with both professional and recreational activities. After the successful previous editions of AMIS and FAIS (check on our website), BAM is going to be a TEAM ESC project where Sports and Artistic activities like a mural in the sport ground will be delivered alongside more professional development activities such as Barbering and Mechanics, that will help the young inmates in their future professional life outside the prison.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Living in shared house with between 4 and 5 people in our community house. Volunteers will receive a bank card with a food allowance so they can buy and prepare their dinners and meals (breakfasts & lunches – in KIA) and purchase household necessities. The accommodation is well located, 5 minutes’ walk from a local beach and with all the appliances and equipment needed for self-catering. Towels will be provided. TCTP will cover economy flights with hand luggage and a van will be provided for getting to and from KIA. Economy flights with hand luggage will be booked on your behalf.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the project there are going be many occasions to share knowledge and experience in a non formal way. The goal itself of the project is gonna be to exchange knowledge and skills between the international volunteers and the young inmates, with the goal of inspiring and learning from each other. You will learn and share your skills. Please note we will only consider volunteers who apply through our website and we will not respond to applications on the ESC database.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
