📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Paideia Galiza foundation is a private not for profit entity established in 1986. This institution is a as an open space to training, research and, in general, to a multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary intervention in the field of Human and Social Sciences.
The Paideia Galiza foundation Works in cooperation and development projects in rural areas of Galicia, giving priority to attention to women, in subjects like education, qualifications and training for employment, family planning and sexual education, strengthening of personal skills and resources and gender equality. We also work in projects for employment aimed at people in risk of social exclusion, disabled people, institutionalised minors, women and people with problems of substance abuse. The PIDEIA Foundation tries to work always in conjunction with public entities through different agreements (city councils, local and regional government) and with private entities.

💼 What the programme involves

Grupo Naturalista Hábitat, since its foundation in A Coruña in 1979 by a group of enthusiastic naturalists, has been carrying out various studies on the Galician natural environment, together with numerous campaigns to disseminate our natural heritage, contributing to generate in Galicia a current of concern for the environment. The volunteer will be supporting activities in the environmental field: Office work, as well as workshops, meetings and similar -indoor activities-. Activities in natural spaces and other locations: routes, environmental volunteer days, studies of the natural environment, talks and other activities that require both field work at different points - outdoor activities - and visits to educational centers - indoor activities. Some outdoor activities could be on the weekend (In that case there would be 1/2 days off per week). https://gnhabitat.org/

🤝 Meeting point

Volunteers usually arrive by plane at La Coruña or Santiago airport (if in Santiago then they take a train/bus to La Coruña). A member of the team will then pick them up and accompany them to the apartment where they will live.

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteer will take part in two trainings (on-arrival and mid-term training) organized by the National Agency.

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).
