HOST ORGANIZATION
Friends of Europe Leonardo da Vinci (AELV) is an NGO founded in 1998 with a strong environmental character. Since we were born our objectives have been to constitute an organization of support and advice for young people, to exchange ideas and young European experiences, and to promote a reciprocal knowledge of the environmental and cultural values of other peoples. We develop our work for young people from 16 to 30 years old, with a participation in their communities and trying to promote the empowerment of people with fewer opportunities. In line with these objectives our activity focuses on 2 areas: the coordination of E+ youth mobility and adult learning projects and the organisation of cultural and environmental activities (cultural visits, exhibitions, informal education, concerts, debates, traditional and popular festivals). All this is reinforced by tutoring and continuous language learning.
– El Puerto de Sta María has 89,000 inhabitants and an excellent location on the coast, has 16 km of beach and is located at the mouth of the river Guadalete, so you can practice water sports.
– Jerez de la Frontera has 212,000 inhabitants, is close to the beach and the mountains, you can do outdoor activities and in nature.
– Lora del Río has 20,000 inhabitants and a beautiful landscape of plain and countryside. The climate is Mediterranean with many hours of sunshine a year. They are attractive destinations thanks to their landscapes and people.
Other interesting things are the popular folklore, the historical buildings and monuments, the parks, museums and the center that these cities have, with squares and bars where you can taste the typical dishes of the region. They are also modern cities with bicycle lanes, an important transport network, health centres and leisure facilities.
YNforma 4.0 aims to set up a youth information office to disseminate the Erasmus+ and CES programs among young people in the region. Currently there are not enough information points where young students and unemployed people can go to learn about the possibilities of training offered by E + and CES as ways to improve their personal skills, the possibilities of future employment or to develop solidarity and support work for the rest. For the volunteer it will be a life experience that will contribute to their personal development and to improve their skills and abilities. You will have the possibility to study and understand the situation of young Europeans from another environment, to share their expectations, problems and concerns and to motivate and encourage the participation of these young people in your locality and outside it, since there is a very broad rural nucleus with a young population that does not have sufficient access to this type of information.
The volunteer will carry out information activities and dissemination campaigns. He/she will work at the headquarters of AELV and possibly in educational centres or youth associations in the region, where he/she will be able to share his/her experience and transmit to other young people enthusiasm and motivation to participate in a mobility programme or volunteering in a European country. The volunteer will have the support of the AELV team in activities related to youth groups and public bodies. There will be a special diffusion among the young people of the rural area, because they are a group with fewer opportunities to access the activities.
– Administrative tasks: collect data on local youth, create databases of youth associations, schools and public bodies to send dissemination.
– Communication tasks: use SSR, the Web and computer applications to develop community management work (e.g. YouTube Channel of the Association, participatory videos, photo reports, presentations and murals), workshops at schools.
– Socio-cultural tasks: talks in educational centres and youth groups, transmitting their personal experience as a basis for motivation and knowledge in other young people. Participation in cultural activities carrying out awareness campaigns.
– Jerez Educa & Ka220: Help in Local action at school about EU Mobility programme in Europe, Fake News, 3D Art, Workshop related to Ka220 projects
