Information about the project

The volunteer project covers four main work areas: social and cultural activities, linguistic exchange, cultural exchange and raising awareness about environmental issues. All this is based on the joint commitment with the environment and community. The framework educates the youth as participatory and creative individuals, in the broader construction of the non-violent, just, equal and respecting human rights society. In addition, the objectives are to promote and integrate the value of interculturalism, appreciation and respect for diversity, raise environmental values and adopt attitudes that promote sustainable development.

This project is carried out CES Santa Maria de los Angeles, the centre for secondary education in the city of Malaga. This city is situated in the Southern Spain in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is a cosmopolite coastal city of a warm climate and has an important cultural diversity. Our Association is founded for the youth who come from different social classes, cultures and geographical locations. Our area of influence extends to the Carranque region, an area with a middle low socio-economic level, and where our Association has an important influence, both by its openness and by the activities it promotes.

The hosting organisation wants to take the European reality in its classrooms and they think the best way to do that is having volunteers from different countries. The volunteers will become a point of reference for the students who will realise that living and working abroad as a volunteer is a great opportunity. Moreover, the volunteers will show the European diversity and how rich it is.

Finally, the volunteers will have some specific tasks such as:

  • to do presentations about the country and the culture
  • to give non formal English and/or German and/or French lessons to students and organize English conversation groups with teachers
  • to collaborate with DACE (Departamento de Actividades Culturales y Extraescolares) on cultural activities in the school
  • to update social networks such as school blog, web-site, facebook, etc.
  • to organize some workshops for students to develop international partnerships: Erasmus, Leonardo, Youth in action, etc.

 

We offer volunteers the following:

  • Gaining experience in useful skills for their professional future. The volunteer program provides skills and experiences, increases job possibilities and gives the chance of doing different jobs, so a choice is possible.
  • Learn new skills. The volunteer program enables new challenges, know new people, new perspectives and ways of living which may encourage volunteers to reconsider their world perspectives.

We expect volunteers to participate in:

  1. the cultural activities organized by the school
  2. the coordination of international activities
  3. the workshops or excursions organized by the school
  4. some community and local events
  5. English Club and/or German club and/or French club
  6. intercultural exchange meetings
  7. Youth Information Point
