Resumo: This project is a unique occasion for volunteers who want to participate in the field of culture, arts and heritage.

The EVS will include many of our field areas: Bookcrossing events (releasing books), management information about cultural opportunities, database and mapping of heritage in our region, social networks, web tools 2.0 for culture, cultural documentation and research, etc. Most of our activities are done through the Internet. No previous knowledge is needed, we will be grateful show its possibilities in the field of culture.

Our projects will allow volunteers to learn Spanish, carry out a project, live in a new country, increase professional chances in the field of culture,...


Geographic context
The project will take place in the city, it has almost 5,000,000 inhabitants. It is the communication's centre of Spain, with the largest airport.

It is a very attractive city, from many points of view: cultural (museums, theatres, cinemas), economic (dynamic structure), tourism (restaurants, attractions, social premises),... There are many towns around the city which complement this offer . Volunteers will receive complete information about the city.

Perfil: Apart from what we have mentioned in other sections, we will give priority to young people who have had no other international mobility opportunities, especially those with fewer opportunities. We will try to balance nationalities, so cultures are mixed.

Selection process: open to any young person who commits to participate in the project and is very motivated to do so. Motivation is very important and will have to be proved. Response to our communications will show us the motivation. Profile of volunteers:

-Concerned about cultural matters
-Aware about their responsibilities and involvement as EVS volunteers.
-Capacity to contribute positively to the EVS project.
-Open to the new way of life.
-Independent, flexible and with team working skills.
-With initiative to carry out a personal project.
-With social and organisational skills, able to work with other young people and organisations.
-age:18 until 30 years old

The recruitment will be done taking those characteristics into account by, at least, 2 people of the organisation. The opinion of the EVS volunteers in the project at the moment will also be taken into account. We will adapt to the needs, motivation and concerns of the volunteers showing interest to carry out their EVS project with us.

-People interested in cultures, art and European topics. There is a lack of information for people interested in these topics in Europe. We've seen this in our talks about European chances. Many of them are interested in the EVS.

The process will be open, participative and transparent: volunteers will define their project (we will not define a project to which volunteers have to adapt). Thus, volunteers need to be active and express their concerns, motivations and preferences, shall actively participate creating the project and looking for an organisation and destination of their interest.

Tarefas: All activities are related to reading (releasing books in Bookcrossing), information about cultural opportunities (grans, support, prizes, contests,...), social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Tuenti), new technologies (Isssu), training (e-learning with Moodle), research, information and interactive cultural platforms.
No previous knowledge is needed. Interest and motivation to innovate and participate in the field of culture are the only things needed. We also plan to provide extra training to volunteers regarding new technologies and non-formal learning. The less volunteers know, the more they will learn about new technologies.

Summary of some activities of volunteers:
-Organistion of massive book release with Bookcrossing.
-Planning, management and implementation of cultural events
Development, design and implementation of programmes and cultural activities
-Cultural information search with new technologies.
-Internet research tasks: statistics, books, library materials, electronic resources, etc ...
- Youth information, maintainance of databases, blogs and other channels of cultural communication.
- Editing of both electronic and printed material (brochures, posters, videos, etc ...).
- Research, documentation and dissemination of cultural policy
- Space management and web tools

There will be no job substitution. All members are volunteers. They will be asked to be responsible as collaborators of the organisation.
They will also participate preparing projects and collaborating with other entities so they can give a new point of view and develop new EVS experiences. The latter are only punctual collaborations.
Volunteers are free to suggest activities, actions,... they consider interesting for the organisation. We will promote creativity of volunteers. The specific working plan will be established when the projects are approved.
Training course: 1 or 2 months (depending on the length of the project).

Condições: Project: final report and end of the EVS: 3 weeks before finishing the project.


Time-table:

Maximum: 30 h/week. Full-time, from Monday to Friday. Exceptionally, activities will take place on weekends, though volunteers will be told in advance and they will get a free day the week after.


ACCOMMODATION

In a flat shared with young people to support their integration in the city. Well communicated area.


Services for volunteers

We can provide first hand information and our experience around the world.
Our team is multidisciplinary, so volunteers have access to many services. We count on work counsellors, intermediation experts, educators, trainers, technicians of European projects, translators, technicians in risks at work,...

We also offer individual counselling if needed (e-mail, phone, presential). We already carry this out, as many people want to live abroad.

We also offer excellent specific training. For example, we continuously offer counselling regarding improvement of cvs, motivation letters, professional and studying opportunities,...

Due to our experience, we can also give personal experience about many countries in Europe.


The EVS as an employability tool

The EVS provides many skills and abilities and thus, increases employability. Reasons for this:
- EVS volunteers develop language, social, technical, artistic,... skills and learn about themselves and their expectations in life.
- It is very useful for our organisation when supporting employment in the cultural field.
- We can support volunteers when looking for a job, in or outside Spain, due to the amount of information we have.
