Description
We are, an educational alternative focused on transmitting the importance of values and environmental awareness. We get to do this through experiences of linguistic immersion in English in different stunning locations in Cantabria (Spain).
We are a small but hard working group of people with a common goal that strongly believe in the need for a change. We are very excited to have more people joining the team so, if you fit in the description, be ready to come to Spain!
All our activities are based on education in nature. Our international team of monitors/educators together with our volunteers help our project come to life and together we continue educating for a better world.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
You have the chance of learning about an alternative education system, one that involves connecting the youth to nature and enjoying the outdoors. Additionally, you would also have the opportunity to learn about sustainable practices and have deep conversations about important topics.
You will be able to enjoy spending time with Spanish kids and hence definitely practicing your Spanish comprehension for sure, although conversations with them need to be in English constantly as we work in English Immersion with them. Our local educators are also bilingual and this would give you the chance to have conversations in Spanish during breaks and learn more about the local culture.

Aide
We are looking for people of various profiles that believe in our project of Environmental Awareness for children. They need to be able to speak fluent English as we work in English Immersion with the children. When the children are not involved (creation of materials, free time with other monitors) we are more than happy for you to practice your Spanish and get immersed in our beautiful culture!
*Preferably above 21 years old*
REQUIRED TO HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS CERTIFICATE:
Help examples:
> At the camps and other activities:
- Assisting as a co-monitor (there are paid monitors that have the leading role and are responsible for the children)
- Children animation
- Accompanying at workshops/activities
- Accompanying in the kitchen cooking with children
- Childcare
- Camp duties (general clean up, composting...)
>Parallel tasks that might be during the activities, but could be also on other dates:
> Creation of Materials:
- Chicken Coop
- Hydroponic systems
- Dry-toilets
- Tent repairs
- Compost bins
- Educational activities
- Portable garden
We are looking for responsible, dynamic and enthusiastic people that are interested in helping with children and eager to learn. Teamwork skills are essential.
We work in English Immersion so this is NOT a great opportunity to learn and practice Spanish, although you will for sure be very exposed to the language by the children that are constantly speaking in Spanish among them, but not with us.
Workawayers suitable to join us will preferably have a background in Teaching, Psychology or Environmental Science/Education related studies to help out in our Immersions or creating sustainable materials to be used in School Workshops and/or at Camping Days.
We look for people that share our values, are nature lovers, open-minded, optimistic and resourceful.

Hébergement
We have flexible dates that include accommodation and meals in exchange for voluntary help on the project.
School year:
During camp days, we will all be accommodated in the location of the camps with children. These locations would be mainly youth hostels where you would be sharing rooms with bunk beds with other staff. All meals are provided.
During your off days (out of camp), there are different alternatives depending on the dates, in a beautiful nature rich area, with connections to Santander, in the North of Spain. As you would be staying at the house of a member of the team, you might need to sometimes cook for yourselves as the host is not always guaranteed to be there. This will be communicated by the host with sufficient time and also the resources needed to cook for yourselves will be provided.
Summer:
During the summer we set up a beautiful sustainable camp in tents in the middle of nature for the months of June - July and August. There we use dry toilets and fresh camp showers! =D
Types of meals may include vegetarian and vegan profiles.
Autres infos...
The Spring camps are in different youth hostels around Cantabria. Due to the nature of the project, you will be surrounded by nature at all times. Connections to the main city would depend on the location, some places may not have the best bus timetables. However, the place that you will be staying at will be close to Santander and hence there will be plenty of time to explore both the city and countryside.
The summer campsite is in the middle of beautiful mountain areas, so plenty of places to hike and disconnect in nature! Also, you have the option of traveling to nearby beaches such as Laredo, which is one of the many beautiful beaches in the coast of Cantabria. Laredo has good connections to the main city, Santander, where you could also be picked up in case your timing doesn't match the pick up and drop off times from/in Santander.
We don’t want to bore you with any more details, feel free to ask any questions you may come across by email or through any of our social media. LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!
