Culture with social impact for the community
Asociación Socio-Cultural La Guajira
Almería, Spain
Description
La Guajira was founded in 2012 as a space to promote artistic creation, especially related to live-music. Ever since, the venue has offered a stable program with at least 3 activities a week, including different kinds of educational activities, workshops, concerts, theatre, dance, expositions, talks, cinema, language exchange and activities for children. The association is located in a historic neighbourhood of Almería with a high percentage of people living at risk of social exclusion. Besides its artistic scope, La Guajira has developed many social intervention activities such as Spanish Courses for low qualified migrants, courses on active job search for low qualified migrants, workshops on diversity management, entrepreneur training for young artists etc. The volunteers will be able to acquire knowledge and experience in the fields of audiovisual production, sound recording and management of cultural projects, especially in the performing arts, and dissemination in digital media.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in a shared apartment whit other volunteers and the costs of the apartment are covered by the hosting organization. The apartment is located downtown and at walking/bike distance to our facilities and all cultural activities. The volunteer will be responsible for organizing its meals and buying its own food.
Training during the activity
We will offer a tutor-based training regarding our organization´s work and the special tasks of each volunteer. Each volunteer will be accompanied during the work by one member of our staff. Further, on the arrival, the volunteer will participate at the training organized by the Spanish National Agency. Last but not least, the volunteer will take part at the interim evaluation which usually is carried out in Mollina, Málaga.
