🔷 Activity Details
Description
The volunteering activity in the BizkaiaGara (BG) project consists of taking part in different actions to promote volunteering and raise awareness among young people about local and international volunteering.
Specifically the TASKS to be carried out by the volunteers will be:
• Support for the BEGIRALDATU program, to raise awareness in secondary schools and vocational training centers, and the UNIKIDE program, to raise awareness in university centers. The volunteers will take part in talks in the classroom about their volunteering experience as well as in the different actions carried out in the educational centers (exhibitions, conferences, etc.).
• Support for the dissemination, awareness-raising and communication actions of the ESC program carried out by BG, such as interviews with the media, relations with young people interested in the program, participation in events and talks on information and dissemination of the program, etc.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will be accommodated in a hostel in a Co-living space for long residents, or a flat in a single room. The volunteers will have access to the kitchen, bathroom and common areas. The accommodation is in the city of Bilbao or in the metropolitan area. The place is connected by public transport to the center of the city (underground, train and bus). Financial allowance of €200 per month for living expenses.
The volunteers will have a BARIK card that will be recharged monthly with the corresponding subscription and can be used for any transport within the city.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will have access to the EU ACADEMY online platform (they will be provided with a computer to connect to the platform) to learn the language. As a complement to the online platform provided by the program, we will try to reinforce language learning with private classes from different resources (Adults School, Language School, Spanish classes for migrants, etc.).
Volunteers will be provided with all the necessary knowledge, training and resources appropriate to fulfil the tasks as well as all the technical materials necessary.
