ASSOCIAçOM SEMENTE COMPOSTELA
Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Description
Semente Compostela forms part of a non-profit social initiative, being a place of transformative pedagogy that understands the school as an integral part of society; we aim to serve the interests of the people by ensuring a democratic teaching and learning process and by making it possible for children to be free and critical. Semente is a kindergarten and primary school based on the principles of coeducation, secularism, assemblyism, interaction with nature, respect to children’s self-regulation, gender equality and interculturality. At the moment, there are 30 kids in Kindergarten school and 52 kids in Primary School. We are 7 educators total, 4 in Primary School and 3 in Kindergarten.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in a flat, sharing it with other volunteers, in a single or double room. Furthermore the flat provides all items necessary for living: a washing machine, heater, blankets, iron, dishes, internet, etc. The organisation will cover the expenses of the flat (rent, supplies,…) The volunteers will receive a monthly allowance and pocket money (at the beginning of each month) to manage their meals. Local transport will be not needed because the accomodation is few meters close to the organisation.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will participate in the same activities as the rest of the local volunteers and staff members, and will participate in the same training activities. The volunteer also will participate in the ESC learning process, so he/she will attend to the pre-departure training and on-arrival training.
