📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

AC is an organization that aims to help NGODs in sending humanitarian aid containers to different countries. We fight to eradicate inequality by favoring synergies with other NGODs, companies and public institutions. All the work is carried out entirely by volunteers: collection of donated materials, repair and packaging, shipment of containers and trailers and follow-up. ESC volunteers would be incorporated into the activities: reuse and recycling with workshops of mechanics, carpentry, painting; collection trips and international shipments with the workshops of selection, filling and departure of international containers, follow-up of arrival in the countries Hundreds of donors, public and private institutions, hospitals, educational centers, and many individuals offer us their materials: hospital beds, sanitary and medical equipment; industrial, construction and agricultural materials; desks, blackboards, vehicles, bicycles, wheelchairs, computers, food...

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will receive a monthly room and board allowance, as well as pocket money, so that he/she can share an apartment with other youth and manage his/her own food. Pamplona is a city with bike lanes and a bike will be at your disposal.

🎒 Leisure activities

A tutor will be in charge of the support for the development of your training, facilitating your participation in the training upon arrival and in all the training activities of the Spanish National Agency. Likewise, you will have a person who will guide you in the specific tasks to be developed and a team will be in charge of training you in the different workshops that require your collaboration.

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).
