About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Prodis (Prodiscapacitats Fundació Privada Terrassenca) is a social initiative non-profit organisation, aimed at the assistance and comprehensive promotion of adults with intellectual disabilities, mental disorders or cerebral palsy. At Prodis we understand that the improvement of the quality of life is not only the absence of disease, but also involves maximizing the capacities of people, promoting good physical, mental and social health. We accompany our users in a personalized way in their life journey, focusing on providing answers and improving all dimensions of their quality of life. We think that volunteering is a key piece of the puzzle, since it unites the people we serve with our community and society, while we continue with our direct awareness-raising work. We think that the European volunteering through ESC is one more step towards this search for integration and it will be a very enriching cultural exchange.

💼 What the programme involves

Prodis is a non-profit social entity that works for and with adults with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, mental disorder in Terrassa and its natural environment. We offer work services, in a protected environment, occupational therapy services, occupational insertion services, housing services, sports and leisure. The volunteer will be most of the time in the occupational center, where they will be able to accompany the people we attend to the occupational and training activities. The people who attend our workshops are between 21 and 60 years old (or older) and the activities they do are very diverse and numerous. The volunteer will support the monitoring team that takes care of them to do activities such as handicrafts, swimming pool, beauty salon, horse riding, museum visits, exhibitions, painting activity, cafeteria service, personal and social skill workshops, therapeutic walks, fairs etc.

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).
