About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Permacultura Cantabria (PC) saw its origins when a group of committed young people started to organise events, activities and trainings, which gradually expanded with our interests, until in 2005 we officially registered the entity. PC develops its main activity in Cantabria, with young people (16-30 years old) and other disadvantaged population of the community, especially now that it wants to implement volunteer projects to support the work that the organisation plans to carry out with the Ukrainian community in Cantabria, such as unemployed people, families, people with disabilities, retired people, etc, but also from other regions of Spain and Europe. Our activities are also aimed at multiplier agents (educators, youth workers, heads of organisations, companies, trade unions, public managers and those interested in dissemination activities, etc.). PC plans, develops and delivers its own non-formal education and training programmes, based on the demand of the staff, partners and users we work with (adapting to the needs of the group and participants, their interests and ways of learning), in 2 main lines of work: Sustainability (climate change, permaculture, bio-construction, ecological agriculture, agro-tourism, sustainable rural development and appropriate use of natural resources) Human development (personal growth, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence and management, inclusion, conflict management, gender equality, abuse of power, social inclusion)

💼 What the programme involves

Our intention is nothing other than to consolidate the role of volunteers in our organization, recognizing the enormous potential that comes with having them, thus creating spaces for volunteers to act and express themselves according to their abilities and interests. Thanks to their contributions, we aim to solidify our organization as a reference point in northern Spain for the inclusion of refugees and Ukrainian community. TASKS: Support NGOs in managing European projects under Erasmus+ (training provided). Design and maintain a community garden. Enhance facility aesthetics through artistic initiatives. Co-coordinate exhibitions, festivals, and workshops, including those focused on Sustainable Development Goals. Participate in language classes using informal methods. Advocate for European values, including solidarity, environmental consciousness, and volunteerism. Cultivate positive relationships with the local community. Disseminate content across various social media platforms.

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).
