Participation and Volunteering

SolidarizArte - Social Participation and Volunteering Program

“Music and the arts invite participation and constitute an antidote to the obstacles to harmony among men. Making music is not only playing or singing, it is also listening. By learning from an early age to listen to the other, the child discovers what tolerance is ”.

Yehudi Menuhin.

Help us change the world with Art

Volunteering is the tool that allows us, as citizens and human beings, to collaborate actively to make a better world.

We intend to promote the participation of children, youth and adolescents in school and civic life, actively, developing a democratic culture and respect for diversity, while promoting the approach of the work of Third Sector Entities to school spaces.

Volunteering Objectives in the FYME

Raise awareness and educate in values.
Stimulate social responsibility and solidarity.
Improve education for participation.
Raise awareness and motivate in the educational field, for social commitment.
Bringing NGOs closer to educational and youth media.
Promote associations and citizenship, active.

Educate, sensitize and promote initiatives in the educational space and in society.

We propose to educate, sensitize and promote initiatives in the educational space (either in the field of Formal and Non-Formal Education), and in society in general, with special incidence in the framework of work with groups of immigrants, for the promotion of social participation, based on art and culture as elements for social transformation.

Transforming ourselves, we transform

The level of participation in solidarity activities is low in Spain when compared to that existing in other European countries. Important steps are being taken by social organizations, as well as in the Administrations, but it is necessary to intensify them, in this line we start from a conception of volunteering as a strengthening agent for a more equitable social and personal development.

¿What?

To be a volunteer for the FYME is to give part of our time to take action and put our illusion and our intelligence at the service of the other.

Childhood is the main interest and the Arts is the best tool.

Because we believe that through the arts you can improve:

Active listening.
Respect for others.
Responsive and expressive communication.
Conflict prevention and resolution.
Empathy.
Trust in the other.

¿How?

Working from the arts, not to train artists, but to help train people, within:

MUS-E program: holding sessions and support.
Art for Coexistence: energizing open days, Teach me Africa.
Art on stage: support for performance of shows, accompaniment and support prior to the show.
The Human Rights Campaign.
Child Participation Campaign.

In order for our artists and collaborators to do this work, we also need hands to help us with the paperwork and organization in the office.

Resource center support: translation and preparation of materials.
General services.

And to put all this in value and that they know us and know what we do.

Attendance at Foundation training courses.
Evaluation. Session observation, survey tabulation, documentation analysis.
Communication, WEB and Social Networks.
