📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

AMYCOS is a Development NGO, which is non-religious, independent and pluralistic. Its first objective is to promote justice and equality. This goal commits AMYCOS to multiple objectives: to work for peace and reconciliation, support nonviolence, and to fight against all forms of discrimination (religious, gender, social class, ethnicity etc.) to face up to the fact that at the same time as material prosperity is increasingly concentrated to the few there is growing hunger and poverty in the world, to staunchly defend the human rights of the people, to promote attitudes and policies that lead us to create responsible relationships with the environment. With these purposes AMYCOS has developed different strategic lines, which we focus our motivations, skills and passion. The action fields where we work on are: 1. Awareness Raising and Education for the sustainable development: because education creates a more aware and informed generation. 2. Advocacy: because we believe that the world can change. 3. .Development Cooperation Projects: because solidarity is justice. 4. Social Action: because there are a lot of things to do in a local territory. 5. International Volunteering: to understand the reality you should live it. With the knowledge that unity gives strength, AMYCOS tries to maintain a network in many different fields, collaborating actively with other NGOs and participating in different campaigns, in a local, national or international level.

💼 What the programme involves

Our volunteering project involves 3 motivated volunteers from different countries. They will take part for 11 months, from April 2023, working with Amycos in the city of Burgos and its province. They will be involved and assigned amongst these main lines: - Global Citizenship Education, for people (mainly children) from the local community, by helping the organization with the start-up of courses, workshops, and different types of events related to sustainable development and solidarity; - Social Action, with its volunteers, collaborating with other organizations in Burgos, carrying out daily support to immigrant people of the city in conditions of scarcity through language classes, school support, and leisure activities; - Project Management and Promotion of local and international volunteering, through the creation of meetings, educational workshops, cultural and solidarity events, and the management of European, and international cooperation and educational projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted at an apartment chosen by Amycos by the basic qualitative standards. Specifically, accommodation will be in the city of Burgos (in a single room or twin room) depending on availability. Sharing of common spaces will be encouraged with other volunteers; although the privacy of the volunteers will be respected. Accommodation will be in charge of Amycos and the volunteer will receive monthly 150 € for Food plus Pocket Money 150 €. Burgos is a small city and it’s not necessary to use local transport daily.

🎒 Leisure activities

Once they arrive, the volunteers will be assisted by the project coordinator and will be assigned a tutor for each activity. The coordinator will show the volunteers how the association works and what kind of activities they will develop during their stay. These volunteers will also have a mentor who will help them with more strictly personal matters. Also, there will be several activities such as “Reinforced Mentorship” to reflect on learnings, to improve the ability to work in a team, facilitate relationships and community inclusion, and cultural understanding in general.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Interest in the project: The volunteers have to participate fully in the project having the desire to contribute actively to the Amycos goals connected with fair social change to sustainable development.
