About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Tur Cos Ta Posibel is a small organisation, originally acting as an informal group but becoming a Stichting (non-profit foundation) in 2019 operating in the field of youth activities, sport, arts, culture and supporting social inclusion. We are a small dedicated team working in all areas of non-formal education. Our main aim is to empower local organisations and young people to reach their potential. Tur Cos Ta Posibel is a small local organisation based in the south of Aruba - active in the local community supporting and resourcing sport, creative arts and social welfare organisations. We already co-operate in vocational activities under Erasmus+ VET and would like to diversify our offer to include European Solidarity Corps Volunteers.

💼 What the programme involves

We are hunting for a volunteer who has the ability and qualification to teach yoga and is also comfortable to work in a setting of social inclusion as much of this placement will take place in prison, as well as supporting local children's and elderly groups instructing yoga and possibly Pilates/fitness. Prison Yoga + Meditation is committed to bringing trauma-informed yoga, loving kindness, mindfulness, and meditations, as well as self-compassion and breathing practices to incarcerated people here in Aruba so they can cope, heal, and restore their lives and their families. In KIA we offer mind-clearing journeys of trauma informed yoga and powerful and diverse meditations so that our students can better cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Post Incarceration Syndrome. There are many physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of having fun and allowing the mind to empty out completely. This is difficult if not impossible inside a jail or prison, but with yoga can help this.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in a shared house with other international volunteer. Rooms will be shared with one other volunteer of the same gender. Volunteers will receive a weekly food allowance to be able to buy food and household necessities either individually or as a group. The accommodation is well located, 5 minutes walk from a local beach and with all the appliances and equipment needed for self catering and learning to cook the local food. There is a shared car and 4 bikes which volunteers can use, for some placements volunteers will be provided with a buspass.

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).
