About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

It is an environmental work camp that is carried out in the forest and whose main objective is the recovery of paths and surroundings of the trenches of the civil war, to assess their value as a democratic memory. In order to achieve the objectives, the hosting organization will count on the collaboration of different organizations and people with experience from the same town. Some of the purposes of the camp are to promote the forests and the natural environment, education in socio-environmental values and learning maintenance and improvement tasks of natural and cultural spaces, in order to disseminate them to the rest of society. However, both cultural and social awareness activities will be carried out with the population of the municipality.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will live in a multipurpose room all together (no gender division) in a conference hall located in a centre of a Tivenys. They will sleep on mattresses on a floor and no bed linen provided. Toilets are indoor, separated by gender, and showers are in the public swimming pool. The organisation will provide the food and the volunteers will cook in a kitchen with facilities. There will be vegetarian/vegan options, and during the working breaks there will be provided snacks or sandwiches.

🎒 Leisure activities

The planned tasks include clearing vegetation from the trenches of the Spanish Civil War, constructing dry stone stairs to navigate slopes, and adapting an area with a bicentennial olive tree near the trenches. Additionally, the overall conservation of the natural site will be undertaken, involving the active participation of international volunteers. These volunteers will receive training and support from experienced professionals in the field.

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).
