Volunteering with Coord. Barrios

The volunteer will be involved in various tasks throughout the project, with a weekly schedule ranging between 30 and 38 hours.
The volunteer's main areas of involvement will include:
1. Educational Support for Primary and Secondary School Students (Afternoons). From Monday to Friday, volunteers will support the educational reinforcement sessions and related activities:
15:30–17:00 – Academic support for primary school children.
17:00–17:30 – Leisure activities with an educational focus (e.g. games, crafts).
17:30–19:00 – Academic support for secondary school students.
19:00–20:00 – Leisure activities for the secondary group, co-designed and agreed upon with the students (e.g. games, creative workshops).
2. Family Support Activities (Mornings). During the mornings, volunteers may take part in:
Providing support and supervision for families.
Participating in workshops with women and child protection initiatives.
Supporting workshops on gender equality and intercultural learning.
Spanish classes: Twice a week, from 9:00 to 13:00 (depending on the volunteer’s language level).
3. Promotion of European Programs. Occasionally, volunteers will help organize and take part in workshops and presentations about the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) in:
Youth organizations
High schools
The University of Murcia
4. Summer School (June–July). The summer school runs for four weeks, from Monday to Thursday, 9:00–13:00, and focuses on a central theme (e.g. travel, art, cooking). Activities are designed for primary school children (up to 40 participants) and include:
Creative workshops using recycled materials
Games and group dynamics
Local excursions and outdoor activities
5. Community-Based Activities in Los Rosales:
Volunteers will also participate in community intervention initiatives, working alongside social organizations, schools, and the local city council. These quarterly activities are designed to involve both children and their families in the life of the neighborhood. The highlight is “La Fuente de las Culturas,” a major community event held one Saturday in May, featuring a morning of multicultural games, workshops, and festivities.
6. Possible New Community Projects (Subject to Approval and Development):
In addition, the organization is currently exploring the development of new community-based initiatives focused on the prevention of gender-based violence and the empowerment of women, both in El Palmar and in the neighborhood of La Paz (Murcia).
Depending on the needs identified within the community and the approval of these projects, volunteers may have the opportunity to participate in activities aimed at women, such as digital literacy workshops, sports and wellbeing activities, educational sessions, and other social participation initiatives adapted to the context and needs of the neighborhood.
As these initiatives are still in the planning and development phase, the volunteer’s participation in these activities cannot be guaranteed, although it may be possible if the projects are implemented during the volunteering period.
