Education volunteer for Global Reboot Project

Descrição do projeto

CATAPA is active in the fields of globalization and sustainable development in Latin America and focus on the problems caused by modern open pit mining (ecological disasters, human rights violations, etc.). We support local communities threatened by multinational mining corporations. The volunteer will support the project on the local, Flemish level, and will focus specifically on young people in higher education. As EVS volunteers you will be trained to think critically and spread knowledge of these problems. Concrete activities will range from enhancing the accessibility of knowledge/information, (preparing educational tools, opening up our network...), promoting educational tools and videos and organizing educational events, lectures and workshops, and supporting initiatives of young people and teachers related to sustainability and the exploitation and depletion of resources. You will be part of a movement of activists and of a small, dynamic office which supports the movement.
