ESC: SOCIAL VOLUNTEERING IN BAGES COUNTY – YOUTH WORK IN SMALL MUNICIPALITIES
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
As we have already mentioned in the context section, our organization, as a local public administration, aims to offer support to the town councils of the municipalities in the fields and/or aspects that they require. In the case of the Youth Service, this support is not only offered to administrations but also to entities and associations in the region.
In the year 2000 (the beginning of the youth mobility projects promoted from Europe) we asked the region if it would be interesting for them if the Consell Comarcal bet on this type of project. At that time, the answer was affirmative both in terms of administrations and associations.
At the moment, we continue to be surethat we must promote international youth mobility projects and, to a greater extent, those that are related to social projects to support solidarity and the strengthening of social ties.
These projects offer the young participants and those who they get involved with an enormous possibility of personal growth and, not only that since those associations/institutions that bet on these projects also gain with the involvement of a (or several) young person who brings a different and new look to the projects and methodologies which they work with.
Society in general improves as such when there is a network of people who work for cohesion and solidarity among the community and, when this task is carried out through volunteering, the added value is multiplied.
The Youth Service, like other areas of the Consell, works on some of its projects with groups of volunteers and in other projects the same professionals assume the volunteer role. With this we want to emphasize that we have a great conviction about the program and about the actions that derive from it.
The Solidarity Corps allows us to work under an umbrella that welcomes us in the establishing of the network (at different levels) and, at the same time, offers us a financial, technical and legal framework in which to work on volunteer aspects
💼 What the programme involves
The focus is on the inclusion and empowerment of teenagers and young people through non-formal education. The ESC volunteer will support youth professionals in several towns across the region (with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants): Sant Fruitós de Bages, Súria, Sallent, Artés and Avinyó. The main objective is to engage vulnerable young people with local youth services and promote the feminisation of public and leisure spaces, some of which are currently male-dominated.
1. Supporting youth workers in open-air leisure activities, games, events, and prevention campaigns in parks, streets and town squares.
2. School-based information and outreach
3. Support during local leisure events – Helping with concerts, workshops and youth festivals
4. Promotion of youth resources – Supporting the visibility and accessibility of youth services among groups who are harder to reach (young people with fewer opportunities, newcomers, girls and young women..)
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will live in a shared apartment in Manresa.
Each volunteer has their own private bedroom and shares the kitchen, bathroom, and living room with two other European volunteers participating in different local projects.
ALLOWANCE:
• Food allowance: 150 €/month
• Pocket money: 180 €/month
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer will attend courses of Catalan language at the CPNL to support their integration and daily communication. They will also attend on-arrival and mid-term training sessions organized by the Spanish National Agency (ANE), offering tools for intercultural learning, networking, and project reflection. Regular mentoring and local support will help develop personal and professional competences throughout the experience.

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).
