Tarefas: Tasks of European volunteers:

-Accompany users to buy things (supermarket, baker's,...).
Support users to organise community outings (cinema, restaurants, discos, trips,...)
-Organisation of activities to favour communication and relationships among residents.

The volunteer will provide support to improve the service and the quality of life of the people who are taken care off. In no case will it mean saving staff, it means a more humanitarian and individual approach.

1.- During the first month of stay, our organization will support volunteers in two basic aspects:

a- Getting to know the community where they will be living
b- Training in the field of the intellectual disabilities at a theoretical level and with practice.

2.- From the second month and during 15 days we will start jointly with them a project of activities where their participation will be crucial; it will consist on the planning of leisure activities, sports and activities of the daily life in which each volunteer will be able to contribute his knowledge, abilities or culture.

3.-Once the activities have been designed, we will carry them out.

4.-25 hours a week are designated to support the planned activities (day trips, cinema, swimming pool, sports, individual support to people with high level of autonomy for cooking, shopping, bathing...).

5.-We will establish a time of 2 weekly hours for documenting activities that have been carried out, their assessment and revision.

6.-Every 15 days the volunteer will meet with his mentor for a general assessment of his/her activities and also to allow him/her occur to express opinions, problems, needs etc..

7.-The volunteer will be given the chance of 2 weekly hours for learning Spanish or Catalan language.

8.-The activity of the volunteer will be developed over 5 days of the week that could be from Monday to Sunday. An activity calendar will be defined. The periods of holidays will be: 5 days in Christmas, 3 days in Easter and a month of holidays in summer (June or September).

Horário: ime of participation: mornings, from 9 to 2 p.m., and language and specific training (total: 30 h/week). The activities will mainly take place from Monday to Friday.

Condições: With it being a project of attention to people with a profile that requires a special attention of supervision and prevention of risks, the volunteer will work in surroundings highly protected and with all the safety measures, paying special attention to heavy loads, in case of working with people with reduced mobility.
Regarding the development of activities outside, the volunteer will have the AXA insurance, will also have information of the Health services in Manresa and will have mobile telephone his/her mentor tutor in Consell (coordinating organization ), as well as the telephone of the association.
The volunteer will have a follow up not only on his/her activities but in all aspects of his/her life to prevent crisis situations. They will share a house with other volunteers which will allow for more people to participate in the follow-up. Volunteers will share a flat with other EVS volunteers from the coordinating organisation. They will live in Manresa, a city with 77,000 inhabitants (2009) located between the metropolitan area of Barcelona and the mountain and farming communities of the interior of Catalonia. The city has experienced a big population growth in recent years, because of immigration. More and more people are also moving to Manresa from the metropolitan area, because of cheaper housing.
Manresa has a dynamic cultural and associative life. The city has over 300 entities, clubs and associations which, in many cases, are the real designers and executives of cultural and artistic programmes, of social and assisting initiatives, of training programs and socio-cultural activities, etc.

Formação: We value the enrichment that means having volunteers from other European countries.
Annually we host two volunteers who support the instructors in a home where people with intellectual disability are hosted. This action is a very positive experience and a way of introducing cultural diversity in an environment where international travelling is difficult.
