The role of the volunteers who will participate in our ESC project will be to support the incoming, outgoing and the ESC areas; each of them will be supporting the back office work that is done during the placement of international volunteers in Catalonia, during the placement of catalan volunteers who will go abroad, and will be fostering international mobility and long-term voluntary service opportunities and helping its diffusion at local and international levels.
The volunteers will be promoting the international voluntary service, producing all kinds of promotion material, participating in informative sessions and training, updating the blog and COCAT’s social networks. They will manage mostly administrative tasks and will work in a team in COCAT’s office in Barcelona.
Accomodation and food
The volunteers will have to look for accommodation in Barcelona with COCAT's support if needed. Depending on the rent of the apartment, the rest of the organizational support will be given to the volunteer for food and transport arrangements.
Location and leisure
Project hosted by
COCAT is a platform organization of international work camps organizations in Catalonia. It gathers Catalan organizations that implement activities in the social-educational field.
Our main goal is to promote international volunteering, understood as a tool for personal and community development and social transformation.
We promote international volunteering mainly in 2 ways:
- Sending Catalan volunteers to the world to do work camps, mid and long term projects (also ESC), training, youth exchanges, etc.…
- Hosting international volunteers in the work camp projects that our member organizations organize.
We are concerned about inequalities and environmental issues, that’s why:
- We support youngsters with fewer opportunities so that they can also participate in these kinds of experiences.
- We promote sustainable practices both in the projects in Catalonia and in the travels our volunteers do for their projects.
