Resumo: Environment project: profile of the organisation and local community
The Town Council has the following areas: Secretary, Intervention, Treasury, Public Funds and Promotion, Hiring, Services and Maintenance, Human Resources and Quality, Socio-cultural and Urbanism.
Within this structure we will focus on the Social Welfare Area, in particular in the Youth and Cooperation section where we are expecting the European Volunteers to join the following departments:
1. Social services, Women, Third age, Immigration.
2. Education
3. Youth
4. Cooperation
5. Environment
Each volunteer will join a programme or a service from one of these departments, so this young person will contribute a European dimension but he/she are not essential in the running of the service/programme.
LOCAL COMMUNITY
Elche, located in the South of the Valencian Community (Spain), is the capital of the region of Baix Vinalopó. It has a population of about 230,000 inhabitants. Surface: 326 Km2 (city centre and rural communities in the "Campo de Elche"). It is the 3rd city in the Community of Valencia for its number of inhabitants, surface area and resources. Over 30% of its population are young people aged between 15 and 30 years (69,702 people).
A walk through its streets allows the visitor to discover an interesting historic centre showing a splendorous past. It was a fortified city of Al-Andalus between the 8th-9th Century until 1265 (Christian Re-Conquest), nevertheless, the original land of the city of Elche, La Alcudia, was 2 kms. South from the current centre from the Neolithic until the 8th Century, the city of Heliké. The Dame of Elche was done during the Iberian Culture. In 209 B.C. the Iberian city becomes a Roman city and in the 1st C.B.C. becomes a Colony of Iulia Ilice Augusta.
9 kms. of beaches, in excellent state of conservation, extend behind large dunes covered with pines.
The UNESCO has declared heritage of the humanity two sites in Elche: the Palmeral de Elche and the Misteri D'Elx.
Elche is an active city, with many enterprising people, with an economic model which has played an important role in the industrial sector (shoes, assistance and complementary industries).
In 2000 an economic project was approved favouring and managing the diversification of the economic activity of Elche. To manage this aim, a series of action plans where carried out in the commercial, tourist, agrarian, industrial and service fields of companies.
Elche has 11 youth centres in the city and municipalities belonging to it, so there are a lot of young people.
For more information visit the web page: www.elche.es
Elche has two official languages: Castilian and Valencian.
The volunteers will not live in the same place as the beneficiaries of the project.
The volunteers will share a flat with other young people.

Perfil: Profile of the volunteer(s) and selection process:
The criteria we will consider for the selection process are:
Someone:
-motivated for the project
-who likes to relate with youth and work with them
-who can work in a team
-who considers him/herself able of carrying out the mentioned tasks
-with initiative and motivation during the project
-with an open character

In the Council we have prepared a document where we establish the steps to follow not only for the selection of the volunteer but also to establish tasks in the arrival and welcoming of the volunteer, integration to the city and its environment, training for the tasks, language training, follow up and evaluation, as well as relationship with the mentor, and the task instructor. This document is called "Socialising process of the EVS". See annex.

In this document we describe the selection process. First we have a pre-selection based on their cvs and motivation letters. After this the task instructor selects three cvs, we call the three candidates and we have a small interview with them through a questioner and we then make the final selection.

Tarefas: Volunteer's tasks:
- Gardering activities in rural areas with disability people
- Take part in a palm tree workshops with old peolpe
- Take part in palm tree museum (as a guide for young people, or giving
support to the workers)
- Giving information about EVS project in meetings

Condições: Special needs (if applicable):
We do not think our organisation is properly prepared to host volunteers who need aid walking or certain special needs; in any case we are open to study the possibility once we know the existing specific needs.

We have not planned to host underage volunteers due to the maturity required to carry pout the tasks we propose.
The Town Council of Elche provides the volunteers with the following aspects to cover unforeseen circumstances:
AXA insurance provided by the European Commission, which covers anything from hospital expenses, accidents, doctors, etc.
Civil responsibility insurance: The council has an insurance that covers any person who collaborates or Works as a volunteer in the organisation.
Accident insurance: The organisation will provide the young person with a Volunteer card, which will gain him/her access to sports facilities and coves them against any accident that might happen while in there.

Formação: Mentor: is a person who orientates and supports the volunteer during his/her stay, so there is always somebody to consult or go to. The volunteer will meet once a week with the mentor and will have the opportunity to contact his/her mentor whenever necessary.
