VOLUNTEERING PROJECT
As we told you in the Invitation Package, the volunteering project in Barcelona consists in
teaching English to children and teenagers that are in risk of social exclusion and
otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity for meeting young foreign people and breaking
interpersonal barriers.
In the morning, from Monday to Friday, you will be divided into smaller groups and go to 4
different centres where you will teach English for about two hours. Before the lessons, you
will also have time to prepare the sessions and decide how to facilitate them.
The weekend before the lessons start we will explain you the main topics you have to teach
and help you preparing everything.
The youth centres you will go to are:
Espai 12@16:
It’s located in the neighbourhood of Poble Sec. The
teenagers are aged 16 to 20 years old and they are
willing to learn English.
Volunteers: Rui, Dhouha and Daryan
Casal Concòrdia:
This centre is located next to the previous one. The
students are mainly migrant girls aged 13 to 17 that
have failed their English exams in the high school and
need some help to improve their English level.
Volunteers: Emna and Sofia
Servei Solidari:
You are going to work with four teenagers from the
project “Pont Jove”. They are ex-wards that enter this
project after turning 18 years old. Their situation often
leads to many social problems and they have a really
bad level of English. However, they are willing to learn
and the foundation professionals are looking forward
to welcome you.
Volunteers: Catarina and Cheng-Yueh
La Miraculosa:
This childhood centre is located in the neighbourhood
called l’Eixample. There are two groups of 10 children,
aged 8 to 14. English lessons will take place from
Monday to Thursday. During Fridays morning, we have
a special project for you that will be explained at the
right time. ;)
Volunteers: Rita, Ilari and Devar.
People going to each centre have been decided based on your motivations and the languages
you know, as we wanted to make sure that both you and the teenagers can take profit of
the project.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use
to change the world.

TRAININGS
1. Peer to Peer Education
During this training you will learn what Peer to Peer Education
is, why is it that important and some basic tips that will be
very useful during your work in the youth centres.
2. Paediatric Psychology
Many of the children you will be working with have gone
through difficult experiences in their life, and it is very
important to have an idea on how to manage with some
behaviours or situations you may face during the volunteering
project. This training is aimed to give you the clues to
overcome this kind of problems.
3. Interculturality
Both SCORP and this project are about different
cultures and how we interact with each other,
always trying to understand our differences and
learning as much as we can from them.
4. Human Rights & Medicine
Well… This training doesn’t really need to be explained. We
are med students, we believe in equality and respect for
every human being, this training was made for all of us. ;)
5. Advocacy
When trying to change de world some tools can be
really useful for us, and advocacy is one of them. We
want you to learn different ways to fight for the
things you believe in, and this can be the perfect
training for getting this aim.
6. Mental Health
One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders in some point of their lives. Furthermore, nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder are not following any kind of treatment, besides they don’t even ask for help from a health professional. So, why don’t ask for help? Stigma, discrimination… There is a long way to go, but we hope this training is going to give you some clues to take action.
7. Refugees and Migrants Rights
Over the world, about 60 million people are
refugees. This is the highest number reported
ever. Asylum seeking is a universal human
right and it is also recognized in the Spanish
Constitution. In 2014 in Spain, there was an
increased number of asylum seekers due to the
conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, even though the
numbers are still lower comparing to other
countries in Europe. However, the Spanish
government is showing lack of commitment
and responsibility, and we are not respecting
these people human rights.
We need to start working and advocating for their welcome and integration, and this is
why we want you to receive an specific training on it and to help us create a whole new
project, that will be presented by the end of Go SCORP. Ready to rock it?

SOCIAL PROGRAMME
2.07.2016
After your plane lands in Barcelona, we
will be taking you to the flat where you
will stay these two weeks, so that you
start familiarizing with it. After that, we
think that the best way to welcome you
and break the ice is to have the first
dinner together and playing a get-to-
know-your-colleagues game (such a
nice way to start these amazing
days!!). And for one night… we will be
cooking for you! (don’t get used to it :P )
3.07.2016
After your first morning, we will visit the
exteriors of the magnificient Castle of
Montjuïc and the MNAC (a VERY special
and beautiful museum). After that, we
think you should see by yourselves why
the Fountains of Montjuïc are said to be
MAGIC!!
4.07.2016
It’s going to be the first working day, so we have
decided to give you the possibility to relax during
the afternoon as you might be tired. However, if
you are that kind of person who’s always moving
around, we also offer you another option: the
labyrinth of Horta!! It is a 750 meters-long park
where you can enter easily, but when trying to go
out you won’t find it that simple. Dare to enter?
5.07.2016
Tuesday afternoon, we will visit Gràcia, a town known by
the good vibes and proximity feeling it transmits. After that,
you will have the afternoon to prepare your very own made
plate for the International Food and Drinking Party, which
will be taking place in Gràcia too, continued by hours of fun
sharing traditions!!!
6.07.2016
During the afternoon we will get in the Gothic Town of Barcelona, the main historic heart,
full of untold stories and surrounded by a romantic aura which can impregnate your soul,
even making oneself fall in love with this area of our big city.
At night we will go to one of the biggest and
most famous discos in Barcelona: The
Razzmatazz Club. On Wednesdays the club
celebrates the Dirty Dancing Party, so be
prepared for the best music and partying…
Welcome to the Barcelonian night!
7.07.2016
To keep short distance with curiosity, we
think that a visit to Cosmocaixa’s museum
is the best way to have a great time enjoying
the peculiarities of SCIENCE! :) (don’t worry
it won’t be a boring exposition).
After that we will go to the Bunkers (where
there’s an incredible bird’s eye view of
Barcelona) and have a nice picnic there!
14
8.07.2016
After a week of hard work, we think you
deserve an unbelievable night. That’s
why we thought that Opium, the disco
club in front of the beach and one of the
most cosmopolitan places, was probably a
good idea.
9-10.07.2016: Special Weekend
We want to keep some surprises for the weekend, but we can tell you that we are not going
to stay in Barcelona. On Saturday morning we’ll take a bus to a little town called Santa
Coloma de Queralt. It is located in the southern part of Catalonia, and it’s known for its
beautiful landscapes (next to some amazing windmills) and its traditions. We will be sleeping
in a house in the historic centre, and spend our time relaxing and visiting the most beautiful
places of the area.
To know the rest of the planning, you will have to wait until the weekend!
11.07.2016:
Are you fan of football? Of course, who doesn’t
know Barça is the best football team in the
world? Just kidding! If you support football you
will have the opportunity to visit the Camp Nou
and if you’re not, don’t worry! Illa Diagonal is
waiting for you for some shopping! If you enjoy
both, you can also do both!
12.07.2016:
Get super ready for the MEGA TOUR!!! In this
amazing walk you will be amazed by the nature of
Barcelona city. We’re only saying that you must
wear comfortable shoes because the sights are
marvelous and it will have a very special ending if
you are not very tired. But...it is a secret!
13.07.2016:
We know you were waiting for this moment… So, the time
has come! Today we’re going to visit the Sagrada Família
and we will have a chilly night at home, but plenty of nice
activities if you still have energy!
14.07.2016:
That night we will go to the Ovella Negra or maybe
to some bars in Les Rambles. Maybe an ice cream
can be a good option too! Yummy!
15.07.2016:
And finally… last but not least, we will go to
Tibidabo and have loads of fun and pictures there.
Then of course, we have prepared a special closing
ceremony for you. We don’t want you to leave! :(

went to Barcelona, where life was too exciting to write.
