Heritage and Education, long-term volunteering in Spain

Activity description

Patrimonio Santomera is a non-profit association of cultural nature, made up of professionals from many scientific branches linked to the heritage of our territory and its study, such as History, Geography, Art History, Archeology, Biology, Geology, Anthropology, Medicine, Librarianship, Computer Science, among others. The aim of our association is to generate an entity capable of bringing together the study of our heritage from two fundamental perspectives: the scientific one and the informative one. We are looking for a young and active person for our volunteering opportunity in Murcia, Spain.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

It will all be managed by the coordinating organization, the association Red Internacional B-Live. In addition to the "pocket money" and "food allowance", each volunteer will be provided with their own room in a shared flat with other volunteers. Said flat will be located in the city centre of Murcia, in order to facilitate all the displacements that the volunteer will have to do, not only project-related, but also for their day to day and to experience everything that the city offers. Also, they will have bikes at their disposal, to explore Murcia and its surroundings :)

Training during the activity

Volunteers will participate in an on-arrival training and mid-term evaluation, both organized by the Spanish National Agency. In addition, they will enroll in the Online Linguistic Platform and will be able to attend a Spanish course in the first weeks of their stay (30-40 hours of duration). All volunteers will participate in a monthly meeting with the coordinating entity, also each of them will have a supervisor within the hosting entity (to talk about schedule, personal projects, etc) and a mentor outside of the entity (to share ideas and problems, get to know the city, etc).

Participant profile

We will consider applications that show interest in the topics that the association deals with in our daily work. It will also be important that the volunteer is prepared to face their experience with the association with a curious and open spirit, getting involved both in the tasks, as well as giving feedback to the professionals of the entity, so that their learning needs can be fully met. We will respond in the best way to the volunteer's motivation and learning needs, without prerequisites regarding qualifications, educational level, specific experience, etc
