COCAT SPANIEN (Katalanien)

WHO WE ARE: COCAT
COCAT is a Catalan non-governmental and non-profit coordinating platform created to represent Catalonia's international workcamp organisations. CRUC, RAI, Fundació Escolta Josep Carol, Fundació Catalana de l'Esplai, Associació Cultural Envall Fosca, Obre't Ebre, Casal de Joves de Cardedeu and Associació Catalana del Lleure Formatiu are members of COCAT, the network of Catalan entities that have been organising international workcamps for the last two years.

The aims of COCAT:
To develop workcamps and voluntary service as a tool for personal, collective and community development, with the central values of interculturality, culture of peace, sustainability and social justice and equality;
To represent and bridge the local Catalan youth associations organising international workcamps in Catalonia, with the international voluntary service movement. The development of networking is our aim and our methodology: synergies are our goal.
WORKCAMPS
Our workcamps are non formal learning proposals for young people coming from many different countries and cultures. Workcamp projects are a living way to share culture, supporting non profit world and developing local communities traditions, promoting ideals of solidarity and citizenship.
Our proposal to you as a future volunteer is…
…to take part in a project that will provide:
Full-learning experience of voluntary service for local communities, in intercultural framework.
Leisure activities to enjoy your free time, being in contact with local community.
Accommodation and food during the workcamp period, a way as well to be independent and to share cultural traditions
Accident and third part liability insurance.

Expectations… in action!
We really expect your motivation to take part into the project… So when you come, come prepared to:
Contribute with energy and action, to the daily life of the camp as a group member
Work about 30 hours per week.
Respect and enjoy cultural and social diversity of participants and locals.
