About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Movimiento por la Paz -MPDL- (Spain), ADICE (France) and We World-GVC (Italy) are three EU non-profit organisations with extensive experience in the fields of development cooperation and humanitarian action. Together we carry out the project "VOL4PEACE - Promoting youth and women leadership in humanitarian aid contexts: international volunteering for peace in MENA and LATAM regions" in the framework of the European Solidarity Corps initiative. With this project we hope to strengthen the capacities of local communities by working on women's leadership and human rights through international volunteering together with our partners in 8 countries in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Guatemala. Through this vacancy, the selected person will have the opportunity to learn and contribute to the work of Movement for Peace -MPDL- in Guatemala and to social change through international and humanitarian volunteering.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The costs of accommodation, visas, insurance and flight tickets are covered by the Peace Movement. In addition, the volunteer will receive a monthly allowance of 600€ to cover basic needs and local transport. The work schedule will be the one established by the host organisation. For each month of volunteering, the volunteer is entitled to two days off, in addition to the public holidays at the destination. The place where most of the activities will take place during the volunteering period will be Quezaltenango, with possible occasional trips to other areas in the country.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive on-site or on-line training in Madrid prior to their deployment. The on-site training is divided into general and specific modules depending on the tasks to be carried out by the volunteer during his/her stay, as well as the needs of the host organisation. In addition, the volunteer will have a Learning and Development Plan that will measure the achievement of objectives and the development of competences during his/her stay.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a person who is motivated by her/his support functions in project management tasks, eager to contribute and learn, in line with the pacifist, feminist and anti-racist values of the organisation as a fundamental requirement. Teamwork, adaptation to changing contexts and situations, a proactive attitude and the ability to work both independently and in coordination with the rest of the team are highly valued. Previous experience in project management and a high level of Spanish will be an asset.
Deadline: 03/07/2024 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).
