🔷 Activity Details
Description
Casa Kuna is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting vulnerable people and promoting social inclusion through a social, multicultural, and ecological approach. It offers non-formal training in trades such as sewing, woodworking, marketing, and natural cosmetics to enhance employability. Its initiative “Re-Made in Granada” creates sustainable products through upcycling. Casa Kuna also organizes cultural activities addressing migration, racism, and social exclusion. It manages a sales space focused on circular economy and supports volunteering, engaging over 30 participants last year. Additionally, it promotes intercultural mediation, community dialogue, and provides psycho-social support through individual and group activities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will stay in a fully furnished apartment in Granada’s Sacromonte, with private kitchens and individual rooms. The space balances shared and private areas to support community living and personal reflection. Weekly food and a daily €6 grocery budget are provided. Sacromonte offers panoramic views of the Alhambra and rich cultural heritage. Travel costs will be reimbursed based on the ESC program’s distance calculator. Volunteers will be picked up at Granada’s bus, train station, or airport. For cheaper flights, consider Málaga or Madrid plus bus to Granada.
Training during the activity
Volunteers engage in non-formal training, workshop facilitation, event promotion, and organizational tasks. In “Re-Made in Granada,” they design and produce upcycled clothing, organize fashion events, and promote products. Cultural activities include managing agendas, catering, and media content creation. At the sales space, volunteers handle customer service, inventory, and social media. They also recruit and support short-term volunteers, assist in intercultural mediation, and may observe psycho-social support sessions. Volunteers participate in research projects.
Participant profile
We are looking for proactive, organized volunteers with an interest in community and social work. They should have skills to facilitate workshops, support the organization and promotion of activities, and handle administrative tasks such as preparing agendas, summaries, and basic graphic design. Creativity is valued to assist in designing and promoting products within recycling and sustainable fashion initiatives. Communication and customer service skills are important to support sales spaces and cultural events, as well as the ability to manage social media and audiovisual documentation. An interest in intercultural mediation, the ability to observe and propose community activities, and sensitivity to participate respectfully in psychosocial support are also required. Additionally, volunteers are expected to collaborate on research projects and work well in teams, fostering an inclusive and enriching environment.
