Presentation of the programmeIndividual volunteering from half of April and onwards: Are you eager to help us out with our daily activities at a unique off-grid location, where you can develop practical skills in animal care, renovation, and green maintenance? Do you have some experience with carpentry and want to help out? Or try something out of your comfort zone? This is a project for those who love practical outdoor work, aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, and have a go-getter mentality with a proactive attitude. We place a strong emphasis on sustainable living. Our animal family includes 2 cows, 5 horses used for coaching with the homeless, sheep, 2 pigs, chickens, geese, an aviary, 2 dogs, and a cat. The tasks are physically demanding, and the weather can be challenging in the Netherlands.

Local accommodationThe accommodation is at BioArt Village, a beautiful location surrounded by a forest inside the city of Eindhoven. The place is off-grid, fulfilling basic needs, and participants must approach this with a non-wasteful mindset. Common areas include the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. In addition to pocket money, you also receive food money, so basic cooking skills are necessary. The center and shops are around 20 minutes by bike. Airport is nearby.

About the leisure activities possibleOur project offers multiple durations, so there is something for everyone. We provide short-term volunteering with a minimum duration of two months, and long-term volunteering when possible (up to 6 months).

Training in these areas will be provided during the activity.

RequirementsThe Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers who are interested in nature, like physical outdoor work, and who embrace living off-grid. If they have experience with carprentry or building wooden animal enclosures, or likes to repair things, they are also very welcome. They should be ready to tackle challenges, capable of daily sustainable animal care, outdoor work, and assisting with restoring the area. Participants are able to work independently and effectively as team players. A positive attitude and strong motivation are essential.

MOJU works at local and international levels and the main objectives of organization are: - To encourage active youth participation in society, directly or indirectly; - To develop activities (inter) cultural, educational, social, sportive, recreational and environmental aimed at overall development of young people in Olhão’s municipality; - To promote discussion and dissemination of information about the needs and aspirations of Olhão’s municipality youth, to contribute to the development and implementation of appropriate local policies; - To promote gender equality, active citizenship, social inclusion and non-discrimination in a perspective of respect for Human Rights and dignity; - To contribute to the mobility of young people as a tool for their personal and professional training and to promote intercultural dialogue; - To promote equal opportunities through the formation of citizens more aware, socially engaged, participatory and creative; - To collaborate with public and private, national and international entities, aiming the development and implementation of the objectives described above. MOJU is composed of a group of people who believe in the importance of youth participation in building society and these almost fifteen years of existence were marked by the strong growth of the Association. Nowadays we have over 400 members (aged 14+) and many partnerships with public and private entities at local, regional, national & international level. In terms of target groups, MOJU works with youngsters mainly from 12 till 24 years old from Olhão, predominantly young people with fewer opportunities and at risk of exclusion (at risk of dropping out or already in school dropout; with no perspective of life beyond day-to-day; not able to choose a path and fight for it; with no conscience that in the future is necessary to assume more responsibilities and they shouldn’t waste the opportunities they face actually). Complementarily with this main target group, we also work with children’s from 6 till 11 years and with youngsters from 24 years old, also from Olhão and also being predominantly young people with fewer opportunities and at risk of exclusion. MOJU has three offices, all of them located in social neighborhoods of the city (one is located on the neighborhood “Panteras”, other one is located on the neighborhood "Bairro dos Indios" and the third is located in the neighborhood "16 de Junho"). We rebuilt this places to create Youth Offices, concerning the needs and aims of the organization. In terms of physical installations our Youth Spaces are composed by youth cabinets, computer training center, social living rooms, arts and sports spaces, and school support offices. The Association possesses almost of the material resources needed to the activities we develop and when that doesn´t happen we establish partnerships with other organizations in order to face the needs. In terms of regular activities, we have included in the three Youth Spaces promoted by the organization, the following: - Leaser Room (recreational and educational spaces); - Digital Inclusion Center (space promoter of digital inclusion, where young people can do work, surf the Internet and play on-line); - Individual Monitoring Office (aiming to support the projects of school life/professional youth); - School Support (in order to combat failure and dropout); - Workshops for Non-Formal Education (to promote reflection on behaviors, attitudes and values); - Training and Mentoring (training teachers at the school tutoring); - Tutorial Support (in order to combat truancy and enhance the school environment in the emotional universe of the child/young person); - Psycho-social Monitoring (support for young people in developing their skills and psycho-social relational); - Parental Education (with the aim to support parents in the education process of their children); - Monitoring to Families (regular contact with families to combat family breakdown); - Combined Sports (sports activities for young people); - Arts Ateliers (with the goal of working the emotional component and artistic youth); - Holiday Activities (conducting various activities to occupy school holidays); - and Employment Space (space for support in creating Curriculum Vitae and search for jobs on the Internet). With this activities, MOJU aims to contribute to the development of spaces where young people can express their opinions and participate in the community, in an active and sustainable way, supporting the objectives of the EU Youth Strategy for 2019-27 which encourages young people to become active citizens, agents of solidarity and positive change for communities inspired by EU values and a European identity.

Presentation of the programmeWe are looking for volunteers!!! :) VESSEL - Volunteering as an Engine for Solidarity, Social Engagement and Learning opportunities is a volunteering activity involving several volunteers from different countries, divided by different time periods. The volunteers will be placed for a period of up to 12 months in Olhão, where they'll have the opportunity to experience a totally different culture and way of living, to learn and experience new things, and to use the knowledge and experience gained in their countries so that they can act as a liaison between partner organisations. The volunteers will be involved in the activities and projects developed by the Host Organisation and will be encouraged to develop and implement their own projects/ideas. At the moment, we have 2 different spaces based inside of neighbourhoods, where volunteers will be working with kids and teenagers, helping them with homework and providing a different set of sessions/workshops on a daily basis.

Local accommodationThe volunteers will live in a furnished rented flat shared with other volunteers, close from the office and not far from the centre of the town. The flat contains all the necessary amenities and is divided in different rooms, kitchen and bathroom(s). The volunteers will have their own bedroom, a shared kitchen and bathroom(s). A monthly contribution for food will be given to every volunteer. The volunteers will receive a monthly pocket money as stipulated by European Solidarity Corps. This amounts will be payed in the beginning of every month.

About the leisure activities possibleOn-arrival and mid-term training's will be provided by the Portuguese National Agency for Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme. OLS will be the official tool to use to learn Portuguese during the Project. Since the project activities require work and communication with other people, it is necessary and important that the volunteers try to speak in order to perform their duties. For that purpose there will be 1 hour of Portuguese Lessons per week.

RequirementsThe Participant profile: The volunteer’s selection process is intended to be transparent and open to all involved. There are no preferences regarding gender, age or study areas. However, a special concern is taken on the analysis of volunteers’ expressed interest in working with children and young people with fewer opportunities and at risk of exclusion, since these will be the main goal of the proposed activities. The fact that the volunteer has some experience linked with youth associations is seen as positive for the development of the activities/projects, but it will not be an exclusion point for the decision.
