About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is a non-profit association. Inside a rural school, it manages a socio-educational project aimed to make children and adults develop in harmony with the surrounding environment, in strict contact with plants and animals sharing this planet. The project mixes alternative and innovative pedagogical approaches with a strong relationship with nature. The union between these aspects helps people in growing at intellectual, physical, relational and emotional levels, rising up their self esteem. The main activities of the project are: alternative education based on interaction with nature; therapeutic interventions with animals, in which the animal is part of the treatment or of the cognitive development in order to improve various functions of the patients; several leisure activities realized inside the nature, such as plays, camps and cooking lessons. And now, if possible, the organization is looking for a volunteer to start a new activity: music in the nature!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You’ll share the accommodation with another volunteer in Santiago de Compostela. You will have a bus card to cover the trips to and from the exact site of the project. You’ll be provided with a monthly allowance for food and living expenses, and a pocket money for your personal necessitites. The travel expenses from your hometown in Italy to Spain and back will be partially or fully reimbursed. An insurance coverage provided by the European Union will cover you from any possible risk during all your volunteering experience.

🎒 Leisure activities

You’ll attend 3 official trainings: the first before leaving Italy, the second in a few weeks from your advent in Spain, and the third around at half of your experience. Upon arrival, you will also receive specific training on school forest methodology and respectful accompaniment for children, as well as basic notions of ecology, and native flora and fauna. There’s no doubt that participating in this project will let you to obtain relevant knowledge, skills and competences about educational activities related with nature, environment and animals.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We’re looking for a dynamic volunteer who likes to work with childhood and in the nature. We need a polite and respectful volunteer, with a medium command of English and Spanish. The hosting context is a small-scale one, so you must be autonomous and flexible to organize your work on your own, and to face the inconvenients that can always happen and last in similar situations. But this will make you stronger in the future. And if you have knowledge about music, you play well an instrument and desire to share your musical skills with the people involved in the project, this would be wonderful!
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
