💼 What the programme involves

Environmental and climatic challenges are today's central issues on the social and political agenda... but the force that youth is putting into these matters stands out. However, there is a lack of opportunities and channels for activism that leads to concrete actions and the dissemination of their ideals among society in general. That is why we proposed this project, which addresses a joint need for society, young volunteers, and partner and collaborating entities. The work of the volunteers will be carried out in the “Los Morales” farm, it is a reference center for the primary sector in research, training and genetic improvement, dependent on the provincial government. Regarding the development of the agricultural sector, its actions are part of a global R+D+i policy for the field that aims to improve agricultural conditions through local species.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be host in 2 small houses in the area of the farm.They will have double or triple rooms and shared bathroom, kitchen and living room. The houses are equipped with everything you need: sheets,towels,cutlery,refrigerator,microwave,stove,television...(but there is no oven).And there is access to a washing machine in a different building. As the accommodation (and the area in which all the work is carried out)is far from the nearest town, twice a week the purchase will be made with a vehicle First nigh will be in a hostel in Granada. From there we will go together tothe farm

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).
