🏢 About the local organisation
Brújula Intercultural is an association created in June 2017 and based in the province of Burgos (Castilla y León – Spain) with the aim of promoting mobility and learning opportunities for young people (between 13 and 35 years old). We believe that the education of young people is the tool to promote and create a sustainable society where everything and everyone is respected and for this reason we provide young people, from all countries, with opportunities to grow, develop new skills, learn and share experiences with their peers.
Citizen participation, responsibility and involvement in the social, environmental, cultural and youth field are the main characteristics of the Association “Brújula Intercultural”.
Our main activities are:
- Promoting the opportunities that Europe offers to young people, especially through the European Solidarity Corps and the Erasmus+ programme;
- Hosting and sending groups to youth exchanges and training courses promoted by the Erasmus+ programme;
- Developing educational and training activities through non-formal education methods in the province of Burgos;
- Providing support to young people for participation in volunteering projects within the European Solidarity Corps programme;
- Develop partnerships for inclusive projects addressing issues of social relevance, at local and European level;
- Development of youth projects in the rural areas in the province of Burgos.
💼 What the programme involves
The main objective of "Co-habitat" is to promote sustainability as well as to foster rural development, through the activities that will be developed in vegetable gardens of Villasur de Herreros and through activities focused on sustainable development and environmental protection issues. El Puchero de Villasur, the hosting organization, was founded in 2018 by an initiative for the conscious supply of food following organic farming methods. El Puchero de Villasur aims to establish a direct relationship between production and consumption, thanks to which a deep knowledge between both parties is facilitated, as well as the problems related to production and its impact on the territory. The main activities in which volunteers will participate are: assistance in the care and maintenance of organic gardens; assistance in the preparation and development of theoretical and practical agroecology courses and workshops.
🏠 Accommodation on site
El Puchero de Villasur will provide an accomodation in Villasur de Herreros for all the volunteers. They will have a double or single room. The coordinator of the project (Asociación Brújula Intercultural) will provide, monthly, an amount (established from the ESC program) for the maintenance and a pocket money (5 euro per day). The travel expenses will be refunded on the basis defined by the European Commission.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will partecipate in the on-arrival training organised by the Spanish National Agency. The support organisation and the host organisation will provide them also a training when they will arrive, a mid-term and a final evaluation.
