📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CPMGA (Centro de Promoción de la Mujer Gregoria Apaza) is a feminist organization with over 40 years of experience promoting women's rights. The volunteer will be involved in activities related to institutional communication and the promotion of women's rights, supporting the implementation of CPMGA’s Feminist Communication Strategy. They will assist in organizing, writing and editing content for the Contextarias newspaper; promoting digital activism among youth and women, organizing mobilization actions and emblematic campaigns; promoting, covering and documenting CPMGA events and activities; updating content for the institutional website and social media; creating presentation materials of CPMGA’s work; systematizing the results of training aimed at women survivors of violence or involved in its prevention; monitoring of communication activities. The main location for the activities will be CPMGA’s office in El Alto, with a weekly commitment of 30-40 hrs excluding travel time.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation will be shared with other volunteers, each having a private room with a lock. Utilities (water, gas, electricity, internet) are included. It is in a residential area of La Paz, which facilitates travel to the city of El Alto and ensures safety during the stay, while providing easy access to medical services, food and other essential services. La Paz is a vibrant and culturally rich city, offering numerous recreational spaces, traditional markets, restaurants. The office in El Alto can be reached by cable car or buses, with an approximate travel time of one hour.

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).
