    Over het programma

    HOW YOU CAN HELP 

    The mission of this program is to protect the amazing environment of Bilbao in Northern Spain and allow its people to better thrive. Volunteers will assist in areas such as developing recycling and environmental programs, creating education campaigns, working directly with local community members and within garden and compost projects and generally helping to promote and educate on the importance of waste management.

    This project allows volunteers hands-on experience as well as the opportunity to help behind the scenes with administrative tasks including social media, fundraising and promotional efforts, sourcing new alliances and drafting maps.  

    Volunteers will be placed according to their personal interests, timeframe and profile. This promises to be a wonderful experience for volunteers to learn about the real Spain, spend time with its people and contribute to its future.

    Volunteers will contribute in a number of ways and can expect to undertake many of the following tasks:

    ·                                 Develop recycling programs and workshops

    ·                                 Assist with hands-on projects such as light photography work, gardening, journalism, nutrition and sorting recycled materials.

    • Maintaining urban gardens and offering mobility challenges to society
    • Conservation  prevention projects
    • Replanting initiatives 
    • Assisting to beautify and maintain parks and biking /walking trails

    ·                                 Help raise awareness of the project and its importance within Bilbao and beyond, making new alliances and finding ways to grow its impact

    ·                                 Interact with locals and share personal experiences and ways of life

    ·                                 Assist with administrative tasks

     

    Volunteers work to conserve, restore, rehabilitate and manage land using conservation tools and people power to improve conservation resources and to provide access for people to enjoy and appreciate nature. You will use social networks, crowdfunding etc  to report all information you get while doing your duties and missions every week

    Working in diverse locations from inner-city parks to scenic hilltops overlooking the Atlantic ocean and coastal reserves, volunteers will work on restoring biodiversity in the area, support species protection, help to strengthen community networks, and provide enhanced conservation land for the benefit of future generations

    Over de organisatie

    Instituto Hemingway is a worker-run service cooperative that works the local network of NGOs, associations and social enterprises with international volunteers.

    Ontmoet je organisatie


    Our vision is to promote international volunteerism, local associations and social enterprises by strategically matching international volunteer with local talents and creative thinking. Our goal is to function as a hub of innovative ideas and projects that can have a positive impact on Bilbao and the surrounding region. To that purpose we are constructing a community of social innovators - an international network that combines the energy and passion of volunteers from all over the world with the knowledge and skills of local NGOs, associations and social enterprises.

    Volunteers work with the International Bilbao Network to support the causes of many Bilbao associations, NGOs, and public schools. Our local partners are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk and migrants – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language,  animal care and environmental protection. The different organisations are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk, migrants and homeless – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language, and environmental protection.

    We are located in downtown Bilbao, just a few meters from  Gran Via in the historical centre. Instituto Hemingway is hosted in a 19th-century building across two floors and a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view.

    2021 at Social and environment entrepreneur

    You should read this before deciding any project in Bilbao. I came to Bilbao for the environmental entrepenour project. In reality the project is solely what you make it yourself. You are on your own with no leader. For me, I was told the first day that I was the only one at the project, and I could ...

    Ich habe zwei Wochen im refugio de los sabios mitgeholfen. Das kleine Tierheim wird privat und liebevoll geführt. Da der Grossteil der Arbeiten am Morgen erledigt wird, gab es während meiner Anwesenheit am Nachmittag nur wenig Arbeit. Gerne hätte ich handwerklich mehr geleistet. Trotzdem konnte ...

    Für mich war die Reise unglaublich, da ich viele Menschen innig kennen lernte, selbstbewusster wurde, viel über mich und Spanien lernte und aus meiner Komfortzone kam. Das war mein Ziel. Ich empfehle es für jeden weiter. Außerdem habe ich nun viele Freunde in vielen Ländern der Welt, einfach ...
