ESC: BURGOS SOLIDARIA

Our volunteering project involves 3 motivated volunteers from different countries. They will take part for 11 months, from April 2024, 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.

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.
