🔷 Activity Details
Description
Stranaidea, ente di invio italiano, propone per l’ente ospitante SEO/BirdLife questo progetto: i giovani volontari parteciperanno ad attività svolte in importanti aree naturali, vivendo a contatto con la comunità locale e lavorando fianco a fianco in un team di volontari del posto. Verranno promossi temi quali l'interculturalità, il valore della diversità culturale, lo scambio di esperienze, l'arricchimento reciproco, il rispetto e la tolleranza. Attività sul campo: i volontari collaboreranno attivamente ai nostri programmi scientifici di monitoraggio dell'avifauna (censimento e marcatura) a Doñana, nonché a diversi progetti di ripristino dell'habitat e campagne di conservazione a Doñana e in altre aree naturali. Presso il Centro Ornitologico Francisco Bernis, sviluppiamo campagne di sensibilizzazione e programmi di educazione ambientale rivolti alla comunità locale. I volontari collaboreranno inoltre con il personale addetto alla gestione dei visitatori presso il centro.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Vitto: Il volontario riceverà 160 € al mese per il vitto. Alloggio: Stanza privata in un alloggio condiviso con altri giovani. L'alloggio sarà completamente attrezzato; le spese per elettricità, acqua e gas saranno a carico dell'organizzazione ospitante. Aspetti organizzativi (orario di lavoro, giorni di riposo settimanali, ferie): Il volontario lavora 35 ore distribuite su 5 giorni a settimana. È previsto un diritto a 2 giorni di ferie al mese; tali giorni potranno essere fruiti previo accordo con il team SEO/BirdLife.
Training during the activity
I volontari parteciperanno a seminari di formazione che forniranno informazioni dettagliate su tutte le attività di collaborazione previste, nonché sul contesto naturale e sociale in cui queste si svolgono. Verranno inoltre organizzati workshop e sessioni informative. I volontari seguiranno brevi corsi su ecologia, biologia, identificazione delle specie, nonché sulle tecniche di marcatura e monitoraggio delle stesse. Supporto linguistico: il volontario ha diritto a ricevere supporto linguistico tramite una piattaforma online, come previsto dalla Guida al programma Erasmus+.
Participant profile
I partecipanti dovranno essere volontari giovani e fortemente motivati, che mostrino un particolare interesse per la conservazione e lo studio dell'ambiente. Saranno particolarmente apprezzati lo spirito di collaborazione, l'iniziativa personale, un atteggiamento positivo verso il lavoro sul campo, la tolleranza, il rispetto per le usanze e la cultura degli altri volontari e della comunità locale, nonché il senso dell'umorismo. Una volta avviato il processo di selezione, verrà stilata una lista ristretta di volontari in possesso del profilo sopra indicato.

✍️ How to write a motivation letter for ESC volunteering that actually gets read — and remembered.A motivation letter is often the single most important part of your ESC application, yet most people write them too generically or too formally to make an impact. This guide walks you through what to include, what to leave out, how to structure your letter, and how to express genuine motivation without sounding like everyone else. Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
🤝 What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering — and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood — and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/

If you want to understand what a strong volunteer profile looks like before you apply, this is essential reading. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/13941/
