🏢 About the local organisation

COCAT is the International Working Camps Organizers Coordinator of Catalonia, a platform of organizations founded in 2005 and integrated by those Catalan member organizations which organize international camps and organizations that have the will of becoming members. Currently, COCAT members are: Balmes Blancs, CRUC, Fundació Catalana de l’Esplai, Fundació Escolta Josep Carol, Obre’t Ebre, ASCALFÓ, Terra Roia and GEPV. Members of COCAT such as educational organizations of participative and social nature, organize the working camps as a tool of international volunteering to promote the cultural exchange. The main target of COCAT is promoting the international volunteering as a tool for getting in touch with several realities. Through the network with the Catalan entities and from all over the world (as Alliance and CCIVS) have built a an integral project of volunteering in where different sorts of volunteering are carried out (working camps, long term projects, ESC, international teaching) giving the chance to catalans volunteers and those from abroad to experience the volunteering.

💼 What the programme involves

Young volunteers will play a vital role in the preservation of Torre Sant Antoni, a vibrant international hub that has hosted workshops, exchanges, and long-term residencies since 2021. Participants will engage in essential maintenance tasks such as repainting doors and fences, creating signage, and working on stone structures, all while building meaningful connections with the local community and partner organizations. The centerpiece of this project is the restoration of the estate’s historic dry-stone well, a beautiful and emblematic feature that still supplies water to the house. Volunteers will work together to stabilize its traditional structure, refresh its appearance, and improve access, ensuring this symbolic landmark remains a cornerstone of the Tower’s heritage for future international programs.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will experience a communal lifestyle by sharing the facilities of Torre Sant Antoni with other international long-term residents. The living arrangements consist of two shared rooms equipped with bunk beds, while additional participants will stay in outdoor tents provided with mattresses. Because the house is situated in a beautiful natural environment, volunteers should be prepared for the presence of insects and mosquitoes. All common areas, including kitchens, toilets, and social spaces, are shared with local volunteers, fostering a collaborative and multicultural atmospher.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will receive training led by experienced professionals in heritage conservation and traditional building techniques. Throughout the project, volunteers will gain practical skills in the ancient art of dry-stone masonry while restoring the historic well, as well as learning essential maintenance and renovation methods for rural structures. Beyond the technical work, the training focuses on ecological land management and the preservation of natural spaces. This educational experience is designed to be collaborative, allowing volunteers to learn through direct action.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Accepting applications from people with fewer opportunities (people with health problems or functional diversity, barriers linked to education and training systems, cultural differences, socio-economic problems, unemployment, social obstacles, discrimination or geographical barriers).
Deadline: 01/06/2026 23:39

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).
