About the project

ESC: Beyond Borders

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

“Beyond borders” is a special program funded which aims to promote volunteering activities among people with fewer opportunities. Being a part of this program and sharing the principles of diversity and inclusion, COCAT offers 7 founded places in our international work camps in Catalonia for people with fewer opportunities. Our program is dedicated to providing opportunities to those who may face socio-economic problems, social obstacles, educational difficulties, physical and mental difficulties, and other challenges. We understand that everyone deserves the chance to volunteer, and we are committed to providing a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and development. You'll be hosted on an international Catalan work camp, spending two weeks working on environment, renovation, or archaeological projects alongside other passionate volunteers.Check COCAT’s general program at www.cocat.org, and contact a sending organization from your country.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation options vary according to the location of the work camp in Catalonia. However, generally the participants of the work camps are living in rural areas and the accommodation can be in tents, schools, hostels or gyms, with all necessary facilities (depends on the project and the planning of the hosting organization). As a participant in "Beyond Borders," the volunteer will have access to fully covered travel expenses (according to the Erasmus+ distance calculator), pocket money and medical insurance.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before the departure, the volunteer will receive all the information needed from the coordinator of the sending organization and the local hosting organization.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The participants in this project will be identified as young people with fewer opportunities which include disabilities, health problems or functional diversity, barriers linked to education and training systems, cultural differences, and social, economic, discrimination or geographical barriers.
Deadline: Application deadline: 20/06/2023

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

  • Return Week-end
