“Lousame European volunteer project 2025”
Concello de Lousame
Lousame, Spain
Description
The project will be developed in the municipality of Lousame (province of La Coruña) from May 2025 to February 2026 (10 months). Lousame is a rural municipality with a geographical area of 93 km² and 3,300 inhabitants. Throughout the year, the entity organizes different cultural activities (summer camps...), social activities (activities at the Day Center, activities with the elderly...), sports, etc. It is intended that the two volunteers collaborate in the proposed activities, providing the different blocks of activities with personal support. The tasks of the two volunteers will be developed mainly in the field of youth and social services, although they will also carry out volunteer work in the field of culture, etc. We believe that these volunteer activities are an excellent learning experience in the field of non-formal education, in which the young people who participate improve or acquire skills for their personal, educational and professional development.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The accommodation of the two volunteers will be in a house or in an apartment shared by the two volunteers near the place of activities. The two volunteers will be given an amount of money for support. During the proyect, an employee of the town hall will accompany the volunteers to the transfer from the accommodation to the place of the activities and once finished they will be transferred to the place of accommodation. A bicycle will also provide to each volunteer to travel to the activities.
Training during the activity
Volunteer tasks will be coordinated and supervised by the coordinator. There will be direct communication between then and they will have periodic meetings. Participating volunteers will be provided with linguistic training through the online platform created for this purpose and will be provided with support to resolve any questions they may have.
Participant profile
Young and dynamic people willing to participate in sociocultural projects. We will give priority to them being participatory, dynamic, open and communicative people. It will also take into account the adaptability to live in a rural environment, taking into account the characteristics of the area where the activities will be developed, as well as their ability to work in teams and in groups.
