About the project

📝 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 will involve 3 volunteers coming from different countries, who will be inserted for 9 months, from September 2025, in the context of Amycos' work in Burgos. Actually, the project aims to involve the volunteer in a local network promoting the Sustainable Development Goals. The main activity will be work in an urban organic garden and boosting ethical purchasing groups in Burgos, contributing to awareness-raising of concepts such as responsible consumption and production. The work will be strictly physical in the agricultural area and depending on the characteristics of the volunteer there will be space to promote a “green” network in Burgos collaborating with other organization in educational and communication activities. Also, in according to his/her profile the volunteer will be involved in: - Educational activities with children; - Administrative and Organizational tasks; - Social Inclusion of individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted at an apartment chosen by Amycos and in accordance to the basic qualitative standards. Specifically, accommodation will be in the city of Burgos (in a single room).

ℹ️ Additional information

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 in Burgos. He will help them to enrol in Spanish classes for immigrants planned in collaboration with the Atalaya intercultural organization. These volunteers will also have a mentor who will help them to know the city and its possibilities and will help them with more strictly personal matters.

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).
