The organisation works in a natural area with land actors in order to promote wetlands conservation, high natural value farming, endangered species preservation (specially wetland species) and habitat restoration through conservation projects and initiatives The proposal to the participant is to let him collaborate with the different areas of the organisation (biodiversity, sustainable land management, green economy, education, communication) to understand the complexity of nature conservation and to focus in some or one of these areas in order to better understand the work developed in this area.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accommodation will be in a shared flat, with other volunteers of ESC, in Santa Coloma de Farners (the city next to the organisation). In the city they can find different places to buy food and all things they can need. Transport will be in charge of the workers of the organisation or the car if the participant comes with it. Also bikes will be available for the volunteers in case of interest to come to the Fundació Emy's offices.

The volunteer will receive training on the different areas of knowledge of the organisation in order to better develop their activity.

Participant profile
We are looking for people linked to nature and with a will to increase their knowledge in eduction and/or environmental communication (non-lucrative education and environmental volunteering with children and young people, environmental communication, natural areas...). We are looking for adaptable profiles who want to have a wide experience, helping in other activities of our organisation. We can adapt the work to do depending on the interest of the volunteers but what is not negotiable is motivation, team-work abilities and willing to help in preserving nature through communication.
