Burgos, Spain
Description
The "Green Hands Burgos" project involves the coordination of 4 volunteers, divided in 2 different hosting organisations: 2 in the Ábrego Association and 2 in the Huerteco Association. The project will focus on issues of sustainable development and environmental protection, with the aim of promoting cooperation and solidarity. The general objectives of the project fit into the framework of the ESC program. It represents, above all, an intercultural learning opportunity. In this sense, the general objective of the project clearly responds to the programmatic strategy of the ESC, designed precisely to promote cohesion, solidarity, democracy and the active participation of young Europeans. In addition, the project will not only be an educational experience for the exclusive benefit of the volunteers, but also for the host communities, too: these are small associations that work with communities at risk of depopulation, traditionally close to the diversity.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Asociacion Brujula Intercultural (project coordinator), will provide a flat in Burgos (center) for all the volunteers. They will have a double or single room. The coordinator will also provide an amount (established from the ESC program) for the maintenance and pocket money (5 euro per day) that will be provided monthly. The travel expenses will be refunded on the basis defined by the European Commission.
Training during the activity
The volunteers will partecipate in the on-arrival and mid-term training organised by the Spanish National Agency. The support organisation and the host organisation will provide them also a training when they will arrive and a mid-term and a final evaluation. The volunteers will have the chance to partecipate in an additional Spanish language course.
