About the project

📝 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. The main purpose of this environmental work camp is to restore and enhance Girona's natural ecosystems by removing sediment, restoring ponds, eradicating invasive species, and monitoring aquatic fauna for biodiversity conservation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation, located in the Vall de Sant Daniel. The volunteers will sleep in a single room, with a capacity for all participants to spend the night there all together in one shared room. It’s necessary to bring a sleeping bag and insulating mat. Adjacent to this space, the indoor showers and toilets are placed. The volunteers will take turns cooking the food for the whole group. The kitchen can be used only during the timetable set for this purpose,and participants will not be able to access the kitchen at any time. The menu will be omnivorous.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before departure, volunteers will receive all necessary information from the coordinator of the sending organization in their home country. Upon arrival at the work camp, the local hosting organization will offer training and support from experienced professionals in the field. We firmly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to volunteer, and we are dedicated to creating a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and development.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
