Resumo: The hosting organization is a non-profit organisation with headquarters. The city has over 230,000 inhabitants (160,000 in its metropolitan area). It is one of the main sea-port cities in Europe. It is located in the Northwest end of Spain. One of its main characteristics are the galleries or view terraces.
Most of our users are from this city and neighbouring towns, so our influence area is quite large.
Our actions aim the promotion of the development and participation in society of people with mental disabilities, as well as counselling to their families and mentors and society, in general.
We carry out our activities mainly from 4 to 8 p.m.
The activities to be carried out by the volunteers in this time will have an educational dimension and will entail an added value for the beneficiaries, due to the importance of counting with the collaboration of a volunteer from another European country in the activities of our local community.
Volunteers will be hosted in a flat (3 bedrooms, 2 WCs, living-room and kitchen) in Santa Cristina, 15 minutes away from the centre.
Perfil: • Youth aged between 18 and 30 years
• People willing to work with mentally disabled people
• Communication skills, social abilities, initiative, enthusiasm and creativity.
• Values and ideals of solidarity and European identity.
• Sensitive with gender and opportunities equality.
Candidates will have to show great adaptation capacity, with a great interest in learning, own initiative and organisational skills.
Recruitment
We will obtain the cvs through:
• Circulating information on our vacancies to institutions that have previously collaborated with the coordinating organisation on EVS.
• Making a call from the web page of the coordinating organisation.
• Informing people who ask the coordinating organisation about EVS opportunities.
• Including the information in the data base of EVS Works: Open Network.
We have created a Mixed Selection Commission made up of the director /person in charge of the project, a psychologist from the coordinating organisation in charge of the volunteer’s follow up, a mentor from the coordinating organisation in charge of the hosted volunteers and the person in charge of institutional connexions.
We had design a scale of technical scoring with endorsement form the directive of the coordinating organisation. Volunteers shall provide their c.v., a motivation letter and fulfil a questionnaire given by the organisation. The candidates with the highest scores will have an interview by telephone or email.
Once this process is finished the Commission will match candidates to vacancies, taking into account interests, motivations, wishes, knowledge of the project and the region where it will take place… Through this process of matching the Mixed Commission will select the most appropriate candidate for the tasks according to their social skills, solidarity values, motivations, interest in the beneficiaries of the project commitment to gender equality.
Tarefas: Volunteers will support the entertainers and teachers in the workshops and in the activities of the centre. They will collaborate and support users with those tasks which are difficult for them due to their limitations. Youth participating in our project will have the opportunity of learning at different levels: educational, collaborating in an innovating educational project, committed and open to the environment, cultural and linguistic, as they will have the occasion of being in contact and learn, not only Spanish language, but also Galician, and become aware of the existence of different linguistic realities at a European level.
All workshops aim the promotion of personal autonomy through the development of different skills, as well as the social integration of the participants. These are some of the activities and workshops carried out:
-Cooking Workshop: its aim is the promotion of personal autonomy. One of the aims is that the participants manage autonomy for their daily life (house duties, cooking,...). They cook, following recipes step by step, with the support of volunteers. This may be very enriching for all parts, as they learn about the gastronomy in Spain and in the country of origin of the volunteers.
Theatre and dance workshops: art is a tool to manage social integration and normalisation of people with disabilities, as it favours movement and social skills and creative thinking. People can experiment with theatre and dance. They enable communication and expression and activate understanding, corporal and emotional aspects. Volunteers will support staff and contribute with the culture of their country.
-Sewing workshop: this workshop enables users to carry out activities with the hands; it works on fine movements, hand abilities, concentration skills,... Each participant has his/her own work. Volunteers support leaders. There may also be a cultural exchange with volunteers, with talks and debates about different typical dresses and their uses throughout history,...
Painting and graffiti workshop: volunteers can support peoples needing it and provide their knowledge, in case they have it in this field. This is sometimes an open-air activity.
Computers workshop: basic editing and word management (Word) for people with disabilities. Work is done individually. Volunteers will give out work and help participants with their questions. There are also basic educational games adapted to people with disabilities, requiring some skills and quickness using computers.
Literature and press and communication workshop: the aim of this workshop is to provide training about literature and inventing stories, as well as offering a leisure possibility to establish social relations among the participants and stimulate imagination and creativity, so they can use it for their leisure and to solve real problems, to work cognitive and emotional skills, social skills and social support networks, as well as understanding and understanding of language and literature. We also work on oral expression, talking about books, news topics, films,... We try to have all participants active, talking about their ideas and knowledge.
-Handicrafts workshop: this workshop develops hand skills. We make bracelets with glass beads, varnish and paint wooden boxes, paint trays, make bands for glasses,... Volunteers will support participants to carry out these tasks, as many of them are difficult for them.
Toy libraries: the participants use their free time as they wish. They can play table games, read,... Volunteers can participate in the games and contribute to social relations (team games, tolerance of frustration,...).
