About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

"Beyond Borders" is a special funded program aimed at promoting volunteering activities among people with fewer opportunities. As part of this program and in line with the principles of diversity and inclusion, COCAT offers 7 funded places in our international work camps in Catalonia for individuals with fewer opportunities. "Beyond the Vineyard: The Dry Stone Heritage" is a 15-day work camp focused on dry stone works, which have been declared cultural heritage by UNESCO. Volunteers will work on restoring a large stone wall in a vineyard area as well as a shepherd's stone hut. They will also work on making a Civil War trench area more accessible to visitors. Participants will have the support of experts from CESUB, the Subirats Historical Study Group, to accomplish this.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in "ZER Montcau," a multifunctional space within a school in the town center. They will have access to a large patio, toilets and showers (with gender separation, hot water, indoor and shared facilities), a kitchen, and a pool by the school. Participants will sleep together in a large room without gender separation, on mattresses placed on the floor. Since the area experiences high temperatures in the summer, it is advisable to bring cotton and light clothing.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before departure, volunteers will receive all necessary information from the coordinator of the sending organization in their home country. Once at the work camp, the local hosting organization will provide training and support from experienced professionals in the field. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to volunteer, and we are committed to providing a supportive environment that fosters personal growth and development.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Participants in this project must be identified as young people with fewer opportunities. This includes those with disabilities, unemployment, health problems or functional diversity, and barriers linked to education and training systems, as well as cultural differences, social and economic challenges, and experiences of discrimination. The project is designed for volunteers who may face socio-economic problems, social obstacles, educational difficulties, physical and mental challenges, and other adversities.
Deadline: Application deadline: 01/07/2024

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).
