Asociación Parkeri
(Spain) is a non profit and non governmental organization, which
develops projects in order to promote non formal and informal learning since 2014.
We work in different topics: Gender, Inclusion, Learning support, team work , youth social
entrepreneurship and since 2021 we moved to Serrada de la Fuente (Puentes Viejas), a little
village in Sierra Norte, in the region of Madrid.
Our work approach is connected to non
formal education, and we want to bring and
connect our work to the rural areas. We want to connect our experience in Youth Work with
the reality of the rural area we are living now and with the rural areas of your local
communities, with the work you are developing now. In this link you can see the video of
one of our training activities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiWEF7Lbbqs&t=57s

💼 What the programme involves

From Parkeri NGO (https://www.instagram.com/asociacionparkeri/ ) , we are looking for 2 volunteers to develop their project in a school located in a rural area called Montejo de la Sierra. In this School, families and adults in the area are involved in this educational project, participating through learning communities, under the training and guidance of teachers and staff educational. It takes place in a family atmosphere, living closely with each person who participates in the programs, with the families, with professionals and anyone who is involved to make the day-to-day life of the school so easy and so special for the boys and girls. The small groups make the teachers' work have a very high performance while giving them the opportunity to treat each student individually, maximizing their abilities. The tasks are related with supporting teachers and children in their daily life classes and the life in the school, also out of the classes.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We are located in a very small village in Serrada de la Fuente, Madrid, Spain. Serrada de la Fuente is located one hour and a half by car from Madrid city center and 3 hours away by public transport. Serrada de la Fuente is a beautiful area in the mountains in Madrid, totally rural with 70 inhabitants ( https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serrada_de_la_Fuente ).

ℹ️ Additional information

Parkeri NGO staff are experts on the European Solidarity Corps (trainers on the Programme since 2014), so constant support will be provided to the volunteers. Mandatory trainings, like On Arrival training and Mid Term Evaluation, will be developed according to the Spanish National Agency calendar. Learning support will be provided and Youthpass will be given at the end of the volunteers' projects. We will also offer the volunteers to participate in trainings connected with other Parkeri's Projects.

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).
