🏢 About the local organisation

"This association since its foundation was born with the intention of promoting mobility and the involvement of young people from all over the world. Canary Islands and towards the Canary Islands in intercultural and transnational activities that allow to open minds and provide coverage to good and new initiatives that require support to become projects. Our main activities are especially environmental, but also cultural, youth and intergenerational, promoting young people from degraded rural or urban environments, generating equality of opportunities and access to them where it is more difficult to access resources and services. In this sense, we are especially sensitive to those who live, like us, in geographically isolated areas. Later We detail the associative objectives and our activities. Several members of our organization have participated and promoted various youth exchange projects in Canary Islands and we have participated in several in other EU countries. We have known, with our extensive experience, the dynamics and organization of work, responsibilities, logistical aspects, the execution of activities and the achievement of objectives. We will take over the CES Quality Seal of our organization of the execution of the projects carried out under it, in all its terms and in its justification. We have extensive experience in organizing meetings held both at the island and regional level as well as internationally, which we understand makes this entity especially suitable for the successful execution of CES projects and experiences. In our projects we have worked with disadvantaged people from a point of view From a geographical point of view, an aspect in which we have always influenced and prioritized the participants. Canary is a outermost territory of the European Union in which the European dimension is an issue that has certain difficulties in application for the simple fact of living on islands. This socio-geographical characteristic has been a cross-cutting theme in many activities that we have carried out, but that is especially important if we talk about islands outside the capital, which they coexist with a "modus vivendi" that we call double insularity. On the other hand, we have developed many mini-projects in isolated geographic areas within the archipelago, neighborhoods especially disadvantaged with a high density of people at risk of social exclusion. Many activities and responsibilities in the projects have been shared, which we explain in this document." Esta asociación desde su fundación nace con la intención de promover la movilidad y la implicación de jóvenes de toda Canarias y hacia Canarias en actividades interculturales y transnacionales que permitan abrir las mentes y dar cobertura a buenas y nuevas iniciativas que requieren de apoyo para llegar a convertirse en proyectos. Nuestras actividades principales son de tipo especialmente ambiental, pero también culturales, juveniles e intergeneracionales, promoviendo a jóvenes de entornos rurales o urbanos degradados, generando igualdad de oportunidades y acceso a las mismas en donde es más difícil acceder a recursos y servicios. En este sentido, estamos especialmente sensibilizados con quienes viven, como nosotros, en zonas aisladas geográficamente. Más adelante detallamos los objetivos asociativos y nuestras actividades. Varios miembros de nuestra organización hemos participado y promovido diversos proyectos de intercambio juvenil en Canarias y hemos participado en varios en otros países de la UE. Hemos conocido, con nuestra dilatada experiencia, la dinámica y organización del trabajo, las responsabilidades, los aspectos logísticos, la ejecución de actividades y la consecución de objetivos. Nos haremos cargo como máximos responsables del Sello de Calidad CES de nuestra organización de la ejecución de los proyectos realizados al amparo de la misma, en todos sus términos y en su justificación. Tenemos una amplia experiencia en la organización de encuentros realizados tanto en el ámbito insular y regional como en el internacional, lo que entendemos que hace de esta entidad especialmente adecuada para la ejecución con éxito de proyectos y experiencias del CES. En nuestros proyectos hemos trabajado con personas desfavorecidas desde un punto de vista geográfico, aspecto en el que siempre hemos incidido y priorizado a las personas participantes. Canarias es un territorio ultraperiférico de la Unión Europea en el que la dimensión europea es un tema que tiene ciertas dificultades de aplicación por el simple hecho de vivir en islas. Esta característica socio-geográfica ha sido un tema transversal en muchas actividades que hemos realizado, pero que tiene especial importancia si hablamos de islas no capitalinas, que conviven con un "modus vivendi" que denominamos doble insularidad. Por otro lado, hemos desarrollado muchos miniproyectos en zonas geográficas aisladas dentro del archipiélago, barrios especialmente desfavorecidos con alta densidad de personas en riesgo de exclusión social. Muchas actividades y responsabilidades en los proyectos han estado compartidas, cosa que explicamos en este documento.

💼 What the programme involves

In this growing European momentum in Guía de Isora, the impulse will be catalyzed through the "European Youth DESK" (OEJ in spanish). This office will be a service to the citizenry, especially the youngest (although not the only one). It would be a pioneer in the Canary Islands. The OEJ is an experience lasting one year that will offer services to citizens in several priority lines of action: • Youth information (presential and online). • Support to local and international activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be at Guia de Isora Youth Hostel. Food will be arranged by own volunteers at the hostel. There is a full equiped kitchen. Transport arrangements will be no needed, because activities will be at the hostel or surroundings. Just in case, volunteers will have a bus card if it is needed.

🎒 Leisure activities

As volunteers should have spanish language and IT skills, a basic training will be done on arrival related with podcasting, video recording, picture taking, and web site, YouTube and Instagram maintainance.

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).
