About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer will collaborate with ASPEm Bolivia in Cochabamba, supporting the strengthening of communication management. The role involves assisting with internal coordination between ASPEm and local partner organizations, such as Tukuy Pacha, which contribute to inclusive development with a focus on priority attention populations through strategic, community-based actions. Their core mission is to advocate for development proposals and processes to be inclusive and accessible to the most excluded sectors of the population, such as persons with disabilities. Key responsibilities include: creating multimedia and informational materials (videos, photos, social media posts, articles, newsletters, infographics); providing logistical and communication support during institutional events and meetings; and developing training and awareness-raising materials on gender equity and inclusion. The volunteering takes place Monday to Friday (30–40 hours per week, excluding travel time).

🏠 Accommodation on site

The house is in Cochabamba, where ASPEm’s local office is based, a city offering activities, courses, shopping centers and services. It is in a safe area, shared with other volunteers, each person having a private, lockable room. Utilities such as water, gas, electricity and internet are included. The house is in the northern area, close to shops, pharmacies and banks. It has good access to safe and affordable public transportation to reach Sacaba, where the project activities take place. Vegetarian/vegan options are limited, but there is more variety available in the city center.

🎒 Leisure activities

ASPEm promotes training spaces to strengthen key competencies related to communication, multimedia content creation, awareness-raising, gender equality, community work, intercultural understanding. Online meetings with other volunteers in-volved in the project are planned, as opportunity for training and exchange of experiences, challenges and good practices. They will have access to platforms such as OLS, GOT and SALTO, and will strengthen transversal skills such as autonomy, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving. All will be certified through the Youthpass.

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).
