BURGOS SOLIDARIA "Urgent Call"
Amycos Organización No Gubernamental para la Cooperación Solidaria
AMYCOS ONG
Burgos, Spain
Description
Our volunteering project involves 3 motivated volunteers from different countries. At the moment we have opened the last vacancy to start in September 2024 for 10 months, working with Amycos in the city of Burgos and its province. The volunteer will be involved and assigned amongst these main lines: - Global Citizenship Education, for people (mainly children) from the local community, by helping the organization with the start-up of courses, workshops, and different types of events related to sustainable development and solidarity. - Social Action, collaborating with other organizations in Burgos, carrying out activities to support the immigrant people of the city in conditions of scarcity through language classes, school support, and leisure activities; - Promotion of local and international volunteering, through the creation of meetings, educational workshops, cultural and solidarity events.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will be hosted at an apartment chosen by Amycos by the basic qualitative standards. Specifically, accommodation will be in the city of Burgos. Sharing of common spaces will be encouraged with other volunteers; although the privacy of the volunteers will be respected. Accommodation will be in charge of Amycos and the volunteer will receive monthly 180 € for Food plus Pocket Money 180 €. Burgos is a small city and it’s not necessary to use local transport daily.
Training during the activity
Once they arrive, the volunteers will be assisted by the project coordinator and will be assigned a tutor for each activity. The coordinator will show the volunteers how the association works and what kind of activities they will develop during their stay. These volunteers will also have a mentor who will help them with more strictly personal matters. Also, there will be several activities such as “Reinforced Mentorship” to reflect on learnings, to improve the ability to work in a team, facilitate relationships and community inclusion, and cultural understanding in general.
Participant profile
Interest in the project: The volunteers have to participate fully in the project having the desire to contribute actively to the Amycos goals connected with fair social change to sustainable development. Experiences and competencies: It's not necessary but we value past experiences in the educational sector positively and the sensitivity to social issues such as immigration, cultural differences, and poverty. Personality: We need positive, flexible, and willing people able to work in groups and in a multicultural context. Spanish language skills will be appreciated.
