ESC: INCLUSIVE LEARNING IN VOLUNTEERING EXPERIENCES (ILIVE)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Asociación Cultural En Construcción was established in 2005 to promote youth active participation in our region, Asturias (Spain). Since 2006 it has managed "Europa Aquí", the International Youth Mobility Office of Avilés, under the umbrella of the Youth Service of the Municipality of Avilés. Our objectives are: - To inform young people and organizations working with youngsters about the youth mobility possibilities in Europe in the frame of non-formal education. - To support them to participate in international and national activities such as youth exchanges, volunteering in European Solidarity corps, training courses, solidarity projects, seminars, internships, etc. - To host international volunteers with special emphasis on youngsters with less oportunities. - To promote youth participation at both a local and international level. “Europa Aquí” is coordinated by Asociación Cultural En Construcción and granted by the Youth Department of the Municipality of Avilés. We work in close collaboration with other activities and projects of the Youth Department and participants in our European Solidarity Corps volunteering programme have the chance to participate in all the activities as well as propose their own ones. “En Construcción” has one full time worker to coordinate European Solidarity Corps projects and other international Erasmus + projects for young people. Activities are addressed to youngsters between 14 and 30 years old. One of our main priorities is the participation of youngsters with fewer opportunities.

💼 What the programme involves

The iLIVE! project provides learning opportunities for young people with disabilities through sports volunteering. It brings together European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteers in international teams for short-term initiatives, fostering inclusive learning experiences and encouraging participation in both mainstream and disability-focused sports. iLIVE! also aims to expand inclusive volunteering by engaging more sports clubs and associations at the grassroots level. Volunteers will design campaigns to attract both young people with disabilities and new sports organisations to participate, promoting personal and professional growth. Key activities include organising volunteer taster sessions in various sports club roles such as hospitality, event management, bookkeeping, fundraising, facility maintenance, communications, and coaching. The project seeks 7 local and 5 international volunteers to promote multiculturalism, solidarity, and cultural understanding.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in Residencia Fuero, in Avilés (https://aviles.es/residencia-fuero), close to the town centre, supermarkets and shops. They will stay in shared rooms with four beds and individual bathrooms. The building has a big terrace, a shared kitchen, common spaces and a laundry room. It has an elevator and adapted rooms for wheelchair access. Participants will prepare their own meals and they will be provided with food budget and a daily pocket money of 6 euros. Local transport to participate in the activities will be covered by the host organisation.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will attend a pre-departure meeting to receive key information and preparations. Over three weeks (21 days), they will receive training and expert support to enhance their volunteering experience with knowledge, practice, and purpose. In the final days, a "Future Opportunities" session will guide volunteers in their professional and personal growth, encouraging further volunteering, training, and career development. A mentor will provide support, and the international community will contribute to their development.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are searching for 12 volunteers interested in inclusion, including volunteers with disabilities (7 locals and 5 internationals) who can collaborate in a team. Previous work experience and qualifications may be useful but not necessary. We are looking for proactive, motivated, empathic, creative people with good communication skills. YOU SHOULD be interested in contributing in a voluntary field and have interests in sports and community building. The project is also open to fewer opportunities profiles (Read more: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/programme-guide/part-a/priorities-of-the-erasmus-programme).
Deadline: 15/05/2025 23:59

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).
