Resumo: The desert is one of the largest deserts in Europe in which the effects of climate change, the rapid desertification in an area that is already very sensitive, the depopulation of rural areas due to lack of opportunities for young people, lack of an economic structure that supports life in the countryside and a large number of reasons is demanding effective action by agents interested in maintaining life in this disadvantaged environment.

The purpose of the project is that the youth participate in the challenges that land and society are facing as well as in their solutions; and thus, continue with the environmental and human development activities that have been carried out in this area.

The Association (Spain), along with other local and European entities, are developing volunteer programs to prevent depopulation of rural areas and to reduce the effects of anthropization on land and the environment, as well as to regenerate this area of degraded land, while promoting economic, social and human development.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
The project is open to the participation of all young people, without discrimination of origin, color or gender, interested in collaborating in environmental actions, and against climate change, but we are especially excited about the possibility of extending these opportunities to young people disadvantaged, 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 in their lives, and select the young people who can one day also expand that positive impact on the lives of others.

Participants will be selected for this project based on their CV, questionnaire and motivation letter, followed by Skype interviews to confirm their attitude and commitment to the objectives set, the ability to live in a rural environment, as well as the likelihood of be able to share the home and work with other people during an intense period of time.

The final selection will be carried out by the coordinating team of the Project, with support organizations making a pre-selection.

An understanding of biology and ecology, desires to work the land, as well as having some previous experience in sustainability and reforestation projects will be valuable, although it is not essential for participation. Also a basic capacity to work with computers that we find useful, to keep track of and disseminate the acquired learning and the development of the program.
