About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CATAPA is a volunteer‑driven movement striving for global social and environmental justice by challenging destructive mining practices and the overconsumption of electronics. We work with grassroots partners in Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia, and mobilise citizens in Belgium to demand systemic change. We are looking for an ESC volunteer to support our Right to Say No campaign and collaborate with partners in Latin America. Tasks may include partner follow‑up, supporting advocacy and networking, contributing to funding and reporting, organising campaign activities and the 2026 RTSN Tour, engaging volunteers, and assisting with communication and movement events. You work 30h/week in a flexible schedule within a diverse team. We seek a proactive team player with strong communication skills, good English and Spanish, motivation to work with volunteers, and a commitment to social and environmental justice.

🏠 Accommodation on site

What do we offer? A warm welcome in our horizontally organized movement with plenty of learning opportunities and new connections. A dynamic & motivated team of employees and volunteers. Monthly fee to cover cohousing accommodation (with a max. rent contribution of €550/month) and a monthly reimbursement (€580) to cover daily expenses. A personal learning trajectory coached by one of CATAPA’s employees, one language course (Dutch, English or Spanish) and opportunities for personal development. Work-related expenses are covered by CATAPA.

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).
