non-profit & non-formal management
Start date: Jan 25, 2016, End date: Jan 24, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This project will be carried out with 3 volunteers from Cyprus, Italy and Bulgaria during 9 months in Gandia, a city of around 80.000 situated on the Mediterranean east coast of Spain, 60km away from Valencia city. The project is covering a big demand of European youth willing to come to Spain to meet our culture, way of living and working while developing key competences for their future both in a professional and personal levels.Besides that, we will promote the huge possibilities of the program Erasmus+ amongst youth in the region. This will help them opening their minds, discovering how big is their multicultural environment, developing new competences, working with their self-development and self-knowledge, as well as empowering their values as cooperation and solidarity, human dignity, social justice or sustainable development. All this will enhance their pro-activity and empathy while improving their critical analysis and entrepreneurship spirits and therefore their work and personal possibilities. Main objectives of this project are:1) to offer the opportunity of learning and managing a non-profit association step by step;2) to learn how to create and to develop volunteering and non-formal education projects;3) to write and share the results of the work made by Xeración Valencia both in local and international levels to be disseminated and creating a multiplier effect;4) to improve the quality of our projects and activities by getting collaborations with youth from other countries with different perspectives and approach;5) to collaborate with other associations from Gandia visiting educational centres, creating awareness campaigns and other events;6) to give the opportunity of learning how to create audio-visual material (catching and editing video and photography) for the promotion of Xeración Valencia and the Erasmus+ program;7) to promote the Erasmus+ program amongst youth from Gandia and the region to encourage them participating in the program; 8) to promote the idea of a sustainable development and a responsible consumption by practical facts: creating their own field to grow food and organising workshops, activities and events for children and youth.To achieve these objectives the 3 volunteers will spend most of their time (25 to 31 hours) in Xeración Valencia but they will also collaborate with different associations (5 hours per week max.) in order to get the most from their experience not only working with us but also with the rest of the community.
