ESC: SIDECAR 2025 a new step towards inclusion

The Participant profile: People between 18 and 30 years old, from Programme countries, willing and highly motivated, able to join us in March 2025 and stay for the entire duration of the volunteering activity. Previous knowledge or experience are not needed, but it is necessary to have interest and sensitivity for the topics relevant to the project: mental health, inclusion and youth information/counselling. We are looking for an empathetic and understanding person, willing to learn, challenge prejudices and share experiences. Since a large part of the service will be connected to participation processes with groups, the volunteer should be an open and sociable person, who likes to interact with people from different backgrounds. IMPORTANT: taking into account the nature of the activities and the need to establish communication with people with fewer opportunities without any knowledge of English, a fairly high level of Spanish is necessary. If you recognise yourself in the profile we have described and you think that you could be the person we are looking for, apply for this placement, including a motivation letter and your CV, until the 20th of February. (If you do not include the CV or the motivation statement, your candidature won’t be taken in consideration). Please, take into account that if you are not resident in Spain, you will need an accredited supporting organization (“sending organisation”) from your country. Although the combination of activities requires some flexibility, in general the participant will adhere to this weekly schedule: 20 hours with Youropía, 8 hours with Hierbabuena, 2 hours for language training (through OLS or other), 2 hours for mentoring and follow-up. The volunteer will support Youropía in: talks and workshops in educational centres; “Mobility Info-point” for young people; coaching of youth groups for mobility and participation projects; cultural projects and initiatives; summer/holiday camps for children; creation of visual material and monitoring of social networks. The volunteer will support Hierbabuena in: leisure and free time activities such as: "Charlar y caminar” (Chatting and walking); cultural and outdoor activities; "Healthy Cooking Workshop"; artistic expression and computer sessions. In addition: support for specific projects (e.g. Mad Pride), organisation of talks, creation of posters and monitoring of social networks.
