About the project
Trekking in the mountains of Marrakech
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This project will combine discovering the city of Marrakech; trekking around in the Marrakech mountains and doing some solidarity work with the local population in the mountains. Participants will spend the first week in Rabat in a host family in order to get emerged into the local culture and will be given some language support classes as volunteer work. Afterwards they will move to the mountains surrounding Marrakech, where they will live in a private house rented for the purpose of the project.
The aim of this project is to offer the participants the opportunity to get to know the Moroccan culture while doing a special activity and going on an exciting adventure. The program includes visiting Rabat and Marrakech not only as tourist, but also to enjoy and get to know the Moroccan culture and to get immersed in it by participating in the several activities proposed. The main goal of this project is to promote intercultural understanding and bonds.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers do not have any obligatory task, as it is not a regular work camp. The activities planned are designed exclusively for them to enjoy the Moroccan culture and way of life. They are expected to participate actively in all of them.
Depend of our free places we will inform the volunteers 2 weeks after we get the flight ticket
There’s 3 proposition : Hand in hand project, Disability children, Integration of immigrants
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will first live in a host family in Rabat, then in Marrakech they will live in a shared apartment rented by CSM. They will be given 3 meals per day. Even though blankets and mats will of course be provided, we highly recommend volunteers bring their own sleeping bags just in case. Important highlight: Toilets in Morocco are usually Turkish bath style. We prefer to warn you because we have learned from previous volunteers experiences.
⚠️ Requirements
- No previous working experience required.
- Enthusiastic, positive and respectful people needed.
- Willingness to develop ties with other nationalities and learn new things.
🤝 Meeting point
If you choose to arrive directly in Rabat Airport, we can arrange someone to pick you up for 150 dirhams, otherwise the meeting point will be Rabat Ville Train Station.
- To get to the Rabat Ville Train Station from the airport you can take the bus right outside the airport for 20 dirhams and it will leave you in front of the train station. With a taxi, it should cost you about 100 dirhams (price negotiable).
- If you arrive in any other airport of the country, you will be able to reach Rabat by train, check the timetable and connections.
Once you have your flights details please pass them by e-mail to your interlocutor so you can arrange with him/her your meeting point.
The info sheet will be send to you by e-mail 3 weeks prior departure.
