INTERNATIONAL ORKCAMPS 2019


COCAT is member of two international

networks promoting the International

Voluntary Service: Alliance and CCIVS.

ALLIANCE

Alliance is a European voluntary Service

organization that had been 30 years

promoting volunteering among youngsters in

Europe. It has 49 members from 30 countries in

Europe, America and Asia. www.alliance-

network.eu

CCIVS

CCIVS is an International Voluntary Service

platform made up of organizations from all

over the world.

CCIVS has been coordinating the IVS for more

than 75 years and 80 organizations nowadays.

CCIVS bases all its actions on Human Rights

principles and constitutes therefore a

microcosm where it is possible to experience

and experiment an international society

based on equality, mutual cooperation,

participation, respect and non-discrimination.

Thanks to this membership COCAT can work

with partner organizations from different

countries. They send us volunteers for our

workcamps, that’s why we call them Sending

organizations.

Each sending organization prepares its

volunteers for the workcamp.

Volunteers are usually 18-30 years old (most of

them 18-25 years old) and pay a fee to their

sending organization to participate to the

camp.

CATALAN ORGANIZATIONS

There are several Catalan organizations

planning workcamps in Catalonia. Among

them, there are the members of COCAT:

ASCALFO

Club Excursionista Empordanès

CRUC

Fundació Catalana de l’Esplai

Fundació Escolta Josep Carol

Obre’t Ebre

RAI

Grup Esplai Vidrerenc

Balmes Blancs

These organizations design projects for the

community and youngsters on different

areas, organizing and preparing the

workcamp, taking into account the needs of

the community and the educational value

for the volunteers.

DIRECCIÓ GENERAL DE JOVENTUT

This area of the Catalan government is

involved in the development of workcamps

held in Catalonia.

It offers financial support to the

organizations.

COCAT is a Catalan non-governmental organization and non-profit coordinating

platform created to represent Catalonia’s international organizations.

COCAT is the link between the international and the national (local) levels of

voluntary movement. Our workcamps are simulations of real- world volunteering

experiences at the local and global level.

WHO ARE WE?

Our workcamps are non-formal learning

proposals for young people coming from

many different countries and cultures.

Workcamp projects are a living way to share

culture, supporting nonprofit projects,

developing local community’s traditions,

promoting ideals of solidarity and citizenship.

To develop workcamps and voluntary service as a tool for personal, collective and

community development, with the central values of interculturality, culture of

peace, sustainability, social justice and equality.

To represent the local youth associations organizing international workcamps in

Catalonia, together with the international voluntary service movement. The

development of networking is our aim and our methodology: synergies are our goal.

All our workcamps will be implemented

in small towns and villages of Catalonia.

It is a good chance for volunteers to

know more our country, see its

picturesque landscapes and learn its

traditions.

Catalonia is situated in the North East of

the Iberian Peninsula.

It has a territory of 32.000 km2 and

around 7.000.000 inhabitants.

Catalonia is a European Mediterranean country with a

strong personality and very motivated to enhance its

customs and traditions. The catalan landscape is very

varied: Pyrenean Mountains contrast strongly with coast

regions, desert landscape are mixed to the most beautiful

Mediterranean ones. The historical invasions and political

conquests, gave Catalonia the awareness to open its door

to intercultural dialogue and to live together with the old

tradition of catalan community and values.

The current administrative structure

of Catalonia, after 40 years of

dictatorship and denial of its

language and traditions, was

defined basically by the Statute of

Autonomy (1979, revised in 2006)

and by the political institutions of

the Generalitat de Catalunya

(Catalan Autonomous

Government).

CATALONIA

6


The language of the country is Catalan, one of the groups of

western neo-Latin languages together with Spanish,

Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian. However, everyone

learns Spanish and English at school so there is no problem for

non-Catalan speaking visitors.

Catalan culture is a ten million people community, living in

France, Spain and Italy (l’Alguer).

Catalan is a living language

spoken in the everyday life,

studied at schools, colleges and

universities and used on radio,

television and newspapers and

most importantly in the

everyday life of each person.
