Resumo: The organization is a platform organisation of international workcamps organisations. It gathers organisations that implement activities in the social-educational field.
Our main goal is to promote international volunteering, understood as a tool for personal and community
development and social transformation.
We promote international volunteering mainly in 2 ways:
- Sending volunteers to the world to do workcamps, mid and long term projects (also EVS),
trainings, youth exchanges, etc…
- Hosting international volunteers in the workcamp projects that our member organisations organize.
We are really concerned about inequalities and environmental issues, that’s why:
- We support youngsters with fewer opportunities so that they can also participate in this kind of
experiences
- We promote sustainable practices both in the projects and in the travels our volunteers
do to their projects.
Perfil: Strong motivation for youth voluntary projects.
Experience in volunteering.
Good English level and basic Spanish level.
Consciousness that the project will have a big administrative part (although in the summer the project gets
more dynamic).
Age: 17-30
Tarefas: The role of the volunteers who will participate in our EVS project will be to support the incoming and outgoing
volunteering areas. It means one of the volunteers will be supporting the work that is done to host volunteers
(incoming) and the other one will be supporting the work that is done to send volunteers (outgoing).
Here you’ll find a summary of the tasks that each volunteer will carry on during the EVS project:
· Incoming
-PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS TO START THE WORKCAMPS SEASON:
Workcamps programme
The first step to start the workcamps season is to prepare a detailed programme with all the information from
the local partners (member organisations) to provide to the international partners in the Technical Meeting
we annually do with Alliance, our international network.
Let’s work together
A document that shows the interests of our member organisations in developing international projects with
our international partners
Best practices report
This report is prepared from the evaluations of the previous season workcamps.
Infosheets
Detailed informative document to send to the volunteers that will participate in the workcamps (it
includes some general info about the organization and detailed information about the project, how to get to the meeting point, contact person, ...)
-REGISTRATION
Once all these documents are ready, the registration process starts. It’s time to keep in touch with
international organisations to see the volunteers they send and contact with local organisations to see what volunteers they can host. The incoming EVS volunteer will have to deal with motivation letters, visa invitation letters and other documents.
-SUPPORT TOOLS FOR WORKCAMP LEADERS
The member organisations look for their own workcamp leaders and the organization gives the necessary support in order to provide the international perspective when preparing the workcamp leaders to be able to manage and lead the camps.
-TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS IN THE ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL WORKCAMPS
Together with the training for outgoing volunteers, the organization organise a training for the volunteers staying for their workcamp.
-VISITING AND PARTICIPATING IN WORKCAMPS:
The volunteer will have the opportunity to participate in a workcamp if he/she wants to.
Anyway, he/she will visit the workcamps during the summer season with the rest of the team.
-EVALUATIONS:
At the end of the workcamps season is the time for evaluations. The incoming EVS volunteer will go through the evaluation forms and also will participate in the evaluations meetings to understand and better get to know the experiences of the volunteers in the organization’s workcamps.
-ANNUAL REPORT:
Out of the evaluations from volunteers and from our member organisations, we produce an annual report
that represents what has happened in our workcamps during the whole year and a best practices report that
highlights the most positive aspects and examples we can promote among our international partners.
-SUPPORT TO LONG TERM VOLUNTEERING:
The volunteer will help the long term volunteering coordinator to spread LTV and EVS vacancies among the volunteers willing to participate in a long term project abroad. He/she will also participate in the informative speeches about EVS and the pre-departure trainings for the volunteers starting the EVS experience.
-PERSONAL PROJECT:
In the second part of his/her project, the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop his/her own personal project in collaboration with the other EVS volunteer. It should be related to the promotion of international voluntary service:
- producing informative material
- participating in informative talks
- updating the web and the social networks
- publishing articles and posts in our blog
Outgoing
-INFORMATION:
The first step for a volunteer that wants to go abroad on a workcamp is to be well informed, so the first thing the outgoing EVS volunteer will do is going to be related to this (picking-up the phone and answer e-mails giving information to volunteers, informative talks…)
-REGISTRATION:
The next step is the registration process. The outgoing EVS volunteer will support the registration process by using our database and contacting international organisations.
-TRAININGS:
Volunteers that participate in workcamps have to attend a training before leaving. The outgoing EVS
volunteer will support the organization’s team in the preparation and implementation of the training.
-VISITING AND PARTICIPATING IN WORKCAMPS:
The volunteer will be given the opportunity to participate in a workcamp if he/she wants to.
Anyway, he/she will be visiting the workcamps during the summer season with the rest of the team.
-EVALUATIONS:
At the end of the workcamps season is the time for evaluations. The outgoing EVS volunteer will go through the evaluation forms and also will participate in the evaluations meetings to understand and get to know better the experiences of the volunteer sent by the organization.
-VOLUNTEERS MEETING:
In autumn the organization prepares a meeting, on a Saturday, to have an informal meeting with our volunteer. It’s
time to prepare future projects for them... and for our EVS volunteers!
-PERSONAL PROJECT:
In the second part of his/her project, the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop his/her own personal project in collaboration with the other EVS volunteer. It should be related to the promotion of international voluntary service:
