📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are looking for a volunteer who will support our beekeeping project called "You are my Queen", so knowledge on this subject is necessary. The main idea is to develop our bee club and organise different projects related to beekeeping. De Amicitia has an apiary of 5 hives in the surroundings of Altea (Alicante) which are maintained by national and international volunteers who collaborate with our association and who, later on, will also be in charge of taking care of and maintaining the beekeeping club. Our intention is to be able to create a community apiary of 15 hives that can ensure pollination and biodiversity in the area. Apart from the beekeeping, there may be other tasks depending on the necessities of the organisation like participation in environmental activities, workcamps, renovation of the volunteers´ house in Sanet, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be in a shared flat or house in Calpe or Sanet y Negrals, depending on the necessities of the project at a certain moment. The volunteers will get a monthly allowance of 310 euros (pocket money + money for food) and will cook for themselves. The international transport will be covered up to the limit set up by the ESC. During the project, the volunteers will use cars and the petrol will be covered by De Amicitia.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will attend On-arrival training and Mid-term evaluation organised by the Spanish National Agency. You will have an opportunity to improve your language skills in both Spanish and English. It will provide an opportunity to be involved in activities based on non-formal education, providing youngsters with opportunities to acquire a wide range of skills (personal, professional, and intercultural) through planned non-formal and informal activities. At the end of the Service, new skills acquired by the volunteers will be recognized through the Youth Pass certificate.
