Resumo: The Foundation is a legally registered, private, non-profit organisation founded in 1993. Its ethos is the preservation; protection and regulation of the environment, contributing to the rural development and preservation of endangered species and spaces; with an interest in projects of new technology and recovery of traditional farming activities. There are offices in Palencia, Caceres, Murcia, Madrid and Canary Islands each one developing local projects.
The main objective of the Foundation is to reveal the value of the wetlands that are now been recovered. There have been some actions funded by EU Life Funds, and other national, public and private organisations.

The Centre works on several lines to achieve its objective:
- Environmental Education Actions.
- Studies on the natural and cultural resources of Tierra de Campos and dissemination of information on them.
- Raising awareness among citizens.
- Environmental Training courses.
- Activities for and with young people.
- Cooperation with international organisations.

For the execution of these actions we rely on a team of nature experts, engineers, biologists, environmentalists, bird ringers, instructors, etc… For some activities we count on other personnel, volunteers and young university students on work practice.


Volunteers will count with the permanent support of the mentor and the staff, as well as the person in charge of language training.

Perfil: Volunteer:
-Awareness about environmental and youth matters.

Tarefas: Activities for volunteers:
These will change throughout the seasons. Winter: there is less field work and more computer work, preparation of projects, spreading activities,… In Spring and Summer there is more field work: monitoring of fauna. In Summer we also carry out environmental education and leisure activities. We usually carry out camps and work-camps for children and youth, as well as Action 1 youth exchanges.
The volunteers may participate in seminars, training courses and other activities carried out for the staff as any other member of the organisation in order to improve his/her knowledge in environmental matters.

Type of activities:
· Field work: bird ringing campaigns, census of birds, vegetation studies, control of predators, radio-tracking (monitoring of fauna marked with transmitters), adaptation of the environment, marking routes.
· Internal work: introduction of data in computer, collaboration in preparation of projects, collaboration in the elaboration of reports.
· Collaboration in the tasks of the Centre and the Hostel: support to participants in environmental volunteering campaigns, students,…; attendance in hosting; support in the external management of the organisation (contacts,…).
· Collaboration in the elaboration of didactic material: design of material, revision of existing material
· Collaboration in training courses
. Participation in inside and external Training courses
· Participation in environmental education campaigns
· Awareness campaigns

The volunteers will not be responsible of management or organisation. They will carry out a support task, guided by the mentor and the technical staff and responsible people in the Fundación. No task will be done with the aim of recruiting, reinforcing or training other EVS volunteers.

Projection activities:
· Organisation and carrying out of youth activities: about their cultural heritage, dynamics learned in their country and any European matter interesting for youth and children.
· Elaboration of a project about his/her country and his/her experience in Fuentes de Nava and Spain so we may learn about a local reality in Europe and his/her perception of our region. This may be done together with the culture department of the Town Council in order to spread it in the town, especially among youth.

Horário: Participation: 5 days/week, including mentorship and language training. The latter will be adapted to the level and learning process and to the intensity of the "seasonal" tasks.
Holidays: Minimum of 2 days/month of activity

Condições: The volunteers will be hosted in Fuentes de Nava, in our hostel, in a big double room with bathroom shared with another volunteer. Kitchen and living-room will are common spaces.

When there are no activities in the hostel, the volunteers will cook their food. If there are activities, they may eat in the dining-room with the participants of the activities.

Among the tasks for volunteers, we will try to adapt them to the individual volunteers, providing them with the needed techniques and means to carry them out without risks

Volunteers will be informed of possible risks and receive protection to avoid them and guarantee their health and security. In such cases, volunteers will be accompanied by a staff member who will direct and supervise the tasks.

The environmental research centre Tierra de Campos, where the volunteer will be staying and will carry out many tasks, is equipped with an emergency and evacuation plan designed by an insurance company. It has two emergency exits, emergency lighting at all entrances and fire extinguishers, all signposted.

All European volunteers are covered by AXA group insurance plan, administered by European Benefits Administrators, with coverage 24 hours a day anywhere and no deductibles.

In addition to this, our volunteers will always have the following documentation:

1 .- Listings: with names, phone numbers / emails of all parties involved in the project:
Mentor
Global Nature Foundation and Center for Environmental Studies Tierra de Campos
Director of the Foundation

2 .- Emergency Phone numbers:
Health Center
Provincial Hospital
112
Civil Guard barracks

3 .- Other Phone Numbers:
Renfe, regular bus
Responsible for Castilla y Leon in Valladolid and Palencia

All European volunteers who are doing the SVE in the Global Nature Fund have this information "by hand" in the center where they live and coexist.

4 .- Information on AXA insurance, and as joint consultation, Billings ...

5 .- They can talk about complaints, conflicts ... with their mentor, the CityCcouncil, and even the Autonomous Community government.

6 .- Psychological support and social integration, through the tutor and the other employees of the Global Nature Fund.

7 .- phones, emails and addresses of organizations responsible for sending volunteers.

Formação: Hosting EVS volunteers is a basic part of our actions. This programme means benefits for both parts and an added value for the participant, the organisation and the local community. The chance of getting in contact with a rural region and knowing it is many times forgotten and the active participation in its conservation is very important. At the same time, the organisation receives help in its activities. The local community may also widen its knowledge about other countries and cultures through the direct contact with the volunteers.

Volunteers may acquire different abilities through the participation in our project: an important language, as well as other abilities related to the tasks (recognition of plants and animals, organisation and management of activities,…). His/her role will be to participate in our organisation as any other member as far as his/her abilities and attitude permit. They will participate in our activities since the first stages and therefore, they may contribute with ideas and suggestions (camps, spreading campaigns,…) or participate in our fix activities (bird ringing campaigns, census, introduction of data in computer,…).
