ASPEm
ASPEm Bolivia
Cochabamba, Bolivia
Description
The volunteer will collaborate at ASPEm Bolivia’s branch office in Cochabamba, supporting communication management for gender equality. The role involves assisting internal coordination between ASPEm and local partner organizations engaged in supporting women survivors of violence and promoting gender justice, as well as collaborating with other volunteers working in the same field, ensuring coherent and integrated communication across digital and traditional channels and giving visibility to the initiatives carried out. Key responsibilities include: strategic planning; creation of multimedia and informational materials (videos, photos, social media posts, articles, newsletters, infographics); support for logistical and communication tasks during events and institutional meetings; development of awareness-raising materials to increase public understanding of gender-based violence and promote gender equality. The position requires a Monday-to-Friday commitment of 30-40 hours per week.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The house is in Cochabamba, where ASPEm’s local office is based, a city offering activities, courses, shopping centers and services. It is in a safe area, shared with other volunteers, each person having a private, lockable room. Utilities such as wa-ter, gas, electricity and internet are included. The house is in the northern area, close to shops, pharmacies and banks. It has good access to safe and affordable public transportation to reach Sacaba, where the project activities take place. Vegetari-an/vegan options are limited, but there is more variety available in the city center.
Training during the activity
This experience is an opportunity to develop both technical and soft skills (in strategic communication, multimedia content creation, awareness-raising, event organization, intercultural dialogue and collaborative work with organizations and communities), while actively contributing to the promotion of women’s rights and gender equality in a multicultural, international environment. Meetings with other volunteers are planned as opportunity for training and exchange of experiences, challenges and best practices. The volunteer will access platforms like OLS, GOT and SALTO and receive Youthpass.
