Children for a better environment
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013,

The EVS project 'Children for a better environment' will be a bilateral project and was conceived by UNA Exchange and Vimex in order to fulfill the following objectives:to work together on a long term voluntary service dealing with environment and sustainable development;to reinforce the partnership between the two organizations;to exchange and share good practices on these subjects in their respective countries.The project would be a unique opportunity for 2 volunteers coming from Wales to take part for 6 months in an EVS project in Mexico and for a Mexican volunteer to come to Wales. Stage 1,Mexico:This project will allow them to be active promoters of volunteering and active citizenship in the local area whilst also crucially contributing in raising awareness about environmental and sustainable development issues. The volunteers will participate in two different projects all along their voluntary service in Mexico:1.In the first project,the volunteers will undertake activities aimed at improving and maintaining a botanical garden (garden of epiphytes and greenhouse). 2.In the second project,the volunteers will support the activities with children in a schoolhouse located in a natural reserve. The activities will mainly deal with organizing workshops about gardening, crafts with recycled materials,alternative energy as well as English classes during the school period. We hope that this EVS project will contribute to the promotion of the voluntary service in Mexico,where it is not well known at institutional level.Through our partnership and by the impact of the project on the children and youngsters of the local communities,the voluntary service may be more known and attractive. Stage 2,Wales:In this phase of the project a Mexican volunteer will come to Wales and be hosted with UNA Exchange in Cardiff. Here they will take part in activities in the 'Peace Garden' and look at engaging the local community with environmental work and issues of stainability.
