Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)

8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

Arbeit

Casa Jazmín is our headquarters and project hub dedicated to promoting community development through international volunteerism. The project creates direct synergies between participants and the local community of Sanet i Negrals, focusing on rural sustainability and social integration through hands-on cooperation with the Town Hall and local associations.

The work is dynamic and involves a flexible mix of tasks designed to support local needs. Volunteers will contribute to the upkeep of public spaces through gardening, painting, and renovation tasks. Additionally, participants will provide educational support at the local summer school, sharing languages and arts with local children, and engage in ecological farming initiatives and environmental volunteering, such as maintaining educational beehive panels or trail cleaning.

Based on the association’s priorities and the specific needs of the municipality, the project also includes a strong social component. Volunteers may participate in social visits to the elderly, charity events, and creative reflection workshops.

There are different Casa Jazmín camps running throughout the summer. Each group continues the work of the previous one, creating a collaborative effort where tasks may vary depending on what previous teams have completed. Volunteers should be ready for a hands-on, flexible, and multipurpose experience, excited to contribute to both the environment and the social fabric of the village.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, with four rooms with several bunkbeds and 2 bathrooms. They will share rooms with four to six other volunteers. The house includes a nice kitchen in which the volunteers will cook for themselves in the guidance of the camp leaders.
You can either bring your own sheets or a sleeping bag. There are beds and pillows, sheets and pillow covers but it will be convenient that the volunteers bring their own. There is a washing machine available.

The house is located right in the middle of the village so there are great opportunities to interact and socialize with the locals and to truly experience the Spanish countryside.
Furthermore, the volunteers can make excursions to Ondara and El Vergel, local towns close to Sanet. The surrounding villages like Benimelli and Ràfol d'Almunia can also be visited. There will also be day trips (on free days) to the beach which is about 15 minutes by car from Sanet.

Daily routine : Get ready for a 30-minute morning hike from your camp through the forest. You will cross a wooden bridge over the Biaysse torrent and make one last effort to climb the hill before arriving at the site: the Viollins mill.
As work on the site began last year, you will have the opportunity to complete the building by restoring the four surrounding walls. Regular work on scaffolding, using traditional construction techniques. You will, of course, be assisted by professionals.
But the project doesn't stop there! You will also be responsible for retracing the history of the Viollins mill through an artistic project that you will carry out in collaboration with the village residents.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay in a dedicated area in the heart of the forest where individual tents will be pitched (and provided). Meals will be prepared outdoors. The group will have to build a clay oven for bread, and cooking will be done over a campfire. To keep food cool, a bucket in the river will serve as a refrigerator. You will share various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the facilitators, and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with priority on healthy, local products. A recipe booklet will be provided to encourage responsible purchasing and sustainable eating.

Lage und Freizeit

The municipality and valley of Freissinieres are located in the Hautes-Alpes (05) at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park, in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region.

In winter as in summer, this sheltered valley offers a wide variety of activities: exploring the region and its specialties, hiking, outdoor sports, meeting locals and engaging in intercultural exchanges, and more.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is being carried out in collaboration with the Freissinieres municipality and the Ecrins National Park. The municipality wishes to restore the Viollins mill, a building that is part of the municipality's rural heritage and could also become a shelter for walkers.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In many rural households, traditional wood-burning stoves are still used for
daily cooking, which generates high levels of indoor air pollution and
represents a serious risk to health, especially for women and children. This
project seeks to reduce these risks by promoting cleaner cooking alternatives
and better ventilation practices.
The project is carried out in collaboration with institutions and government
agencies of the State of Michoacán, through the Institute of Training for Work of
the State of Michoacán (ICATMI). With the support of international volunteers,
the project not only focuses on the physical installation of the stoves, but also
on raising awareness about their correct use, maintenance, and the
environmental and health benefits they provide.
Participating in this project offers volunteers the opportunity to contribute
directly to community well-being, environmental sustainability, and public
health improvement, while gaining meaningful cultural exchange experiences
in rural Mexico.
