ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
We are looking for one creative, proactive and video passionate volunteer to join our WAKE UP project! The volunteer will mainly collaborate in Communications (web development, video-making, social media, content creator, photography, graphic design), which will allow him/her to develop professional competences in this area, and to create personal projects! Of course there are also the community lifestyle tasks and the sustainable and green practices of each day. With this project, we aim to promote commitment, ledearship, autonomy and resilience in order to make our daily life more ethical. The current crises (health, environmental and social) require us to think about how within our daily lives we must promote respect for the environment and living together. The team of volunteers will experience a quality intercultural learning and an openness to the world, having the chance to free themselves from judgements.
ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS
IDC is located in a small town, 20km from Carcassonne where the nearest train station and airport are (the volunteers will be picked from there and will be taken to the place). This region is rural, living mainly from wine farming and tourism. The place is surrounded by nature. Accomodation: volunteers will stay in mobile homes, in shared-rooms, usually with another volunteer of the same sex. Food will be bought twice per month, and volunteers will take turns to cook healthy and low-impact food! following the food guidelines.
