Resumo: (environment)
The Association develops three action programs: the first Program, to disseminate techniques for the evolution of consciousness and spirituality; the Seeds of Life Program, to support natural upbringing, and schools of alternative pedagogy; and the second Program, to explore tools for personal growth in groups, and harmoniously integrate the social, economic, and environmental elements in this place.
Here group life is a continuous learning, a place where we seek, experience and share new ways of living and living together working together. Internal growth and commitment to the environment make us walk together to achieve our goals, each finding its true identity.
The purposes of the Association are:
a) Personal development and growth, through yoga, meditation and techniques that enhance physical, mental and emotional well-being.
b) Promote cultural biodiversity, art and social development.
c) Assist rural and environmental development with awareness and sustainability.
d) Promote volunteering and cooperation at European and international level.
e) To experience a learning of sustainable life in the different dimensions of the human being, through the design of a permanent culture in the time.
f) Recovery of traditions and giving value to natural resources.
g) Educate, and raise awareness through art, creativity and in relation to nature as fundamental elements in development in freedom.
h) Share activities and experiences of parents and children through natural upbringing and alternative education.
Perfil: Age: 18-30
The project is open to the participation of all young people, without discrimination of origin, colour or gender, interested in collaborating in environmental actions, and against climate change, but we are especially excited about the possibility of being able to extend these opportunities to disadvantaged young people who have mobility difficulties, whether due to social, economic and/or geographical obstacles. So this is one of our main criteria: we would like to make the greatest possible positive impact on their lives, and select young people who will someday be able to expand that positive impact on the lives of others as well.
Participants will be selected for this project on the basis of their CV, questionnaire and motivation letter, followed by Skype interviews to confirm their attitude and commitment towards the stated objectives, the ability to live in a rural environment, as well as the likelihood of being able to share the home and work with others for an intense period of time.
The final selection will be carried out by the coordinating team of the Earth and Life Project, with the support organizations carrying out a pre-selection. A basic knowledge of Spanish and the desire to acquire fluency in the language will be valuable.
An understanding of biology and ecology, a desire to work the land, as well as some previous experience in sustainability and reforestation projects will also be valued as positive, although it is not essential for
participation. Also a basic ability to work with computers that we find useful, to record and disseminate acquired learning and program development. An ethical commitment to social and environmental justice, flexibility, emotional maturity, ability to assume responsibilities and work in a team, motivation to learn and practice the skills necessary to develop their life and work in a community in a rural environment, will be values that will be taken into account.
Tarefas: The foreseen tasks include reforestation in different types of degraded soils, with trees and shrubs, soil adaptation for reforestation and water resources management; with the theoretical and practical training necessary for its development. All this will be accompanied by dynamics of group cohesion, celebration and reflection on learning, as well as adaptation to life in a rural environment.
The expected impact of the project is as follows:
- Improving knowledge learning outcomes and developing multiple skills.
- Increased employability and improved career prospects.
- Increased leadership, initiative and eco-entrepreneurship.
- Improved self-responsibility, self-training and self-esteem.
- Improvement of Spanish language skills.
- Greater intercultural and environmental awareness.
- More active and dynamic participation in society.
- Greater awareness of the European project and the values of the EU.
- Greater awareness of permaculture principles.
- Greater motivation to participate in future education or training (formal/non-formal) to broaden acquired skills, competences and knowledge.
In the long term, we hope to contribute to a culture of caring for the Earth, for people and for the future of all living beings at international level; we also hope that the combination of the thousands of projects supported by the European Corps of Solidarity will have an impact on the socio-educational, environmental and youth systems of the participating countries, and help to drive forward more sustainable national and international policy reforms, and to attract new resources for mobility opportunities in Europe and beyond
