TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY

There will be the opportunity of joining pieces of training, youth exchanges, and work camps that we organise and also that the rest of the SCI Branches contacts or partners organize. As well as participating in local groups that we have (many different areas, Mediterranean area, climate justice, feminisms, etc…) 

PARTICIPANT PROFILE

The volunteer need to be fluent both in Spanish and English and have excellent writing skills. A basic knowledge of Catalan is also evaluated, however not compulsory before the arrival. The volunteers will be asked to learn Catalan during their stay, as it will be the main language in the office as well as during the activities organized with and for local volunteers. Highly evaluated skills are flexibility, a sense of responsibility, self-initiative, and the ability to work in a team. Previous experience in other SCI branches, workcamps, youth exchanges, or international pieces of training will be good
