Additionally, there will be occasional educational activities with children, reconstructing activities and visits to senior centers or other social events to support the community organizations in the area, to complete 6-7 working hours a day. 2 days per week will be free. Flexibility and desire to act as a real volunteer is a must in this project.

Accommodation and practicalities

In the first part of the project Volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, Casa Jazmin in Sanet Alicante, with three rooms with several bunkbeds and bathrooms.. The house includes a small kitchen in which the volunteers will cook for themselves in the guidance of the camp leaders. The organization will provide pillows sheets and covers if asked. La Casa Jazmín is recently renovated but there are always some pending tasks to complete and volunteers may be asked to do some work. It can happen to be re-located in other places close to Valencia if we need to do some work around the area. This is a project of experiences in some cases with commited, special and vulnerable people. It provides the occasion to increase key competences that are necessary for youth to become active citizens and to improve their educational and employment prospects. It will involved volunteers in activities based on non-formal education, involving people on a voluntary basis, providing youngsters with opportunities to acquire a wide range of skills (personal, professional, and intercultural) through planned non-formal and informal activities.
