Description
The volunteer will fulfill their mission at Compañia de Maria School, Puente Genil (ages 3 to 16) https://bit.ly/3JBozik. The school provides a beautiful environment with dedicated teachers and educators. Volunteers will integrate into school life, supporting educational development and encouraging public participation among young people. The project's aim is to help young volunteers improve their skills, gain training and experience, and enhance their social and personal abilities. Main tasks include assisting teachers, developing creative activities and workshops, supporting children and youth with special needs, assisting in language conversation workshops, dining room monitoring, and organizing and leading outdoor activities for a summer school (June-August), including playing games with kids. Additionally, volunteers will promote ESC, Erasmus+ E citizenship, and mobility. We offer 2 places for European participants and 1 place for a Spanish participant.

All according to ESC rules. The volunteer will be accommodated in a shared apartment with other volunteers (2-3 in total), located in the town center. They will have a separate bedroom, and a shared kitchen, living room, bathroom, and terrace. Public transportation will not be necessary. The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance of 215 € for food and 185 € as pocket money, totaling 400 € per month. All other expenses are covered by the host organization. Puente Genil is well connected with the main cities of Andalusia. bit.ly/4cP3yyb
