Resumo: The hosting organization is a volunteer movement which strives for a world in which the extraction of non-renewable resources is no longer necessary. The extraction of such materials always entails major social and environmental impacts and fuels conflict. In working towards global social and environmental justice, we focus on mining issues (ecological disasters, human rights violations, etc.) in Latin America, where we support local communities in Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia who are threatened by large-scale mining projects.

Our main activities are:
● Internationalisation of the struggle of our partners inLatin-America and capacity building
● Awareness raising on the impact of metal consumption amongst Belgian population
● Creating a movement for sustainable consumption and production
● Lobby and research

The hosting organization is a grassroots movement, which means that we are mostly dependent on the work of our volunteers. As a grassroots movement, we also work together with other grassroots movements in our partner countries.

Perfil: We are looking for an ESC (European Solidarity Corps) volunteer to support the movement, and in particular the campaigns about fair ICT. The volunteer will be trained to think critically and spread knowledge of these issues and to encourage other young people to become active EU citizens. The tasks are flexible depending on your learning goals and the needs of the organisation.
You will mainly be working in our office team (4 part-time staff + 2 ESC volunteers + variable number of interns) which supports the work of the movement. Since the organization is a volunteer movement, you will be working in close collaboration with motivated and enthusiastic volunteers.
