Una opción de conocerlo es mediante las grandes rutas de senderismo del mundo, ¿te habías planteado combinar un programa de voluntariado internacional y con una increíble ruta? Es increíble como la forma de viajar determinan el viaje. A continuación, os contamos cuatro grandes rutas de senderismo para realizar durante un voluntariado en Europa.

Rutas de senderismo durante un voluntariado en Europa

Ruta de las Highlands occidentales, Escocia

Para excursionistas bien entrenados, una de las rutas más conocidas de Escocia es una de las mejores opciones para recorrer las tierras altas o Highlands. Empieza en Milngavie y finaliza en Fort William, comprendiendo 154 kilómetros de caminos. A lo largo de la ruta se pueden ver lugares muy diversos, algunos muy conocidos como Louchlomond o Ronnoch y otros menos, pero con igual de encanto.

Esta ruta tiene unos meses más recomendados que otros, a pesar de que se podría realizar en cualquier momento del año. Para evitar masificaciones, se recomienda evitar los meses de verano. Y para evitar lluvias más intensas, evitar los meses de noviembre y enero. A pesar de esta última recomendación, allí el tiempo cambia mucho y suele llover en cualquier época del año ¡no os olvidéis el chubasquero!

Ruta Laugavegur, Islandia

Una ruta para las personas con un nivel medio en materia de senderismo. También es recomendable para aquellos amantes de los volcanes y la naturaleza, ya que a lo largo del sendero se podrán ver la actividad volcánica en forma de géiseres, recorrer las impactantes tierras altas, ascender cimas volcánicas cómo los cráteres de Magni y Modi, descubrir llanuras y observar grandes cascadas y  glaciares.

La ruta es de 80 kilómetros y es de ida y vuelta. Para su mayor tránsito, a lo largo de ella hay cabañas (funcionan solo en verano), donde se puede pasar la noche. Pero siempre hay la opción de ir acampando o haciendo vivac. Muchas personas inician la ruta en Landmanalaugar y dividen la ruta en 5 etapas, haciendo noche en 5 de los refugios que hay.

Ruta Licia en Turquía

Para personas con una pasión por el mar, la historia y la naturaleza típica de los bosques mediterráneos, esta es la ruta perfecta. Se encuentra en el litoral de Turquía y recorre más de 500 kilómetros.

A lo largo del sendero se puede ver la huella de un antiguo pueblo llamado los licios, quienes eran comerciantes y guerreros que poblaron la zona en el 1000 A.C. Se pueden ver restos históricos de muchos tipos: tumbas, antiguos pueblos, ruinas, etc. Además de restos de ese pueblo, también se pueden encontrar ruinas romanas y persas.

GR 20, Córcega

Una perla de oro para excursionistas experimentados, con resistencia física y mental que buscan un desafío físico y de orientación. Es un reto que no requiere un conocimiento muy técnico, pero si requiere de capacidad física y mental para caminar 180 kilómetros con constantes desniveles.

Este recorrido cruca la isla de Córcega de norte a sur y, por su dureza a lo largo de las cordilleras montañosas, es considerado uno de los más duros de Europa. A lo largo del camino se pasará por zona montañosa, de prados, valles y lagos. Se dejará atrás pueblos pequeños típicos de Córcega y se alcanzarán los Montes d’Oro e Incudine. El verano es la mejor opción para enfrentarte a este desafío.

¿Ya has escogido una?  ¿Cuál es? Anímate a realizar una de estas rutas de senderismo durante tu experiencia de voluntariado en Europa.

UNIVERSITY PRACTICES

Our volunteers will be able to validate university credits with the aim of traveling in a more responsible and economical way.

What does volunteering focused on university practices involve?

At Cooperating Volunteers, we make agreements with different universities to validate university credits with the aim of traveling in a more responsible and economical way.

The specialties we work with are extensive: medical volunteering, nursing, education, social work, psychology, physiotherapy, engineering, architecture…

The practices can be carried out in our designated destinations for this purpose, as well as in Spain.

If you choose an international destination, it’s a unique way to live an unforgettable and enriching experience, as you will have the opportunity to continue your education in another country, with a completely different culture.

Stepping out of our comfort zone and being part of the various projects at the destination will allow us to grow both personally and professionally, creating a more extensive curriculum.

And we are fully convinced that this experience will accompany you throughout your life.

You will be able to visit hospitals, schools, centers, orphanages, and participate directly and actively in the daily lives of all those people at the destination, always accompanied by other professionals willing to collaborate hand in hand with you and guide you in daily tasks.

If your university is not part of the agreement with Cooperating Volunteers, you can contact cristina@cooperatingvolunteers.com so that we can get in touch and make this experience a reality. 

CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING

Corporate volunteering consists of tailored programs for your company, designed to develop teamwork skills.

It is proven that teamwork directly impacts productivity. 

Collective effort surpasses individual capabilities, promotes diversity of skills, stimulates creativity, and facilitates problem-solving in the face of various challenges.

Therefore, it not only maximizes efficiency but also enriches the work environment.

We conduct corporate volunteering programs that consist of customized programs for your company, designed to develop teamwork skills, improve performance, and foster unity among employees.

We tailor projects to the corporate identity and size of the company, and we can adjust them to any destination and time of the year.

The advantages of corporate volunteering include:

  • Improving communication.
  • Group unity.
  • Cultural integration in different situations.
  • Employee training.
  • Increased Corporate Social Responsibility.

The future is aligned with a more responsible society, and participating in social projects positions our company among the list of revolutionary businesses that want to be part of the change.

If you resonate with this message, corporate volunteering is a unique experience both individually and collectively, and at Cooperating Volunteers, we accompany you throughout the process to make it a unique journey.

FAMILY VOLUNTEERING

Quality time spent with family strengthens emotional bonds, promotes communication, and contributes to the emotional well-being of its members. 

Spending quality time with family and being able to disconnect from our hectic routines is not only enriching but also necessary.

Sometimes we forget to communicate, connect, and dedicate time to each other. Each one of us lives focused on our jobs, schools… And it’s necessary to find the opportunity to pause and take care of ourselves.

Quality time spent with family strengthens emotional bonds, promotes communication, and contributes to the emotional well-being of its members. And of course, it creates lifelong positive memories.

At Cooperating Volunteers, we suggest moving away from those ‘more superficial’ trips (which can also be fantastic), but we invite you to live this experience to bring out our most empathetic and humanitarian side.

Family volunteering gives us the opportunity to be part of a positive impact, promoting values of solidarity and social responsibility.

There are many families who choose to experience these trips focused on cooperation and direct involvement with different communities around the world, where living conditions are very different and sometimes entirely precarious.

Projects are tailored to different ages, allowing us to work together.

An incredible way to fill our suitcase with memories, learning, and knowledge.

And although stepping out of our comfort zone often feels daunting, we assure you firsthand that it’s worth it.

At Cooperating Volunteers, we accompany you throughout the entire experience, from start to finish, to make it unforgettable.

SENIOR VOLUNTEERING

At Cooperating Volunteers, we believe it’s never too late for anything, especially for volunteering and living a unique and unforgettable experience.

There are many people, increasingly so, who opt for responsible travel that involves social work.

Accustomed to organized and mostly touristic trips, at Cooperating Volunteers, we want to advocate for a more enriching experience, one that transforms us from within and allows us to be part of the change the world needs to see.

We can adapt both the destination and the duration of our projects to fit your needs.

It’s an opportunity full of emotions that allows us to significantly contribute to different communities and their evolution. And you can participate in different areas such as education, social support, or assistance in different centers.

Some of the benefits include:

  • Sense of purpose: Provides a sense of purpose by contributing your skills and experiences to meaningful causes.
  • Emotional well-being: Reduces feelings of isolation and establishes social connections.
  • Personal development: It’s continuous learning, skill development, and discovering new activities while keeping the mind-body active.
  • Physical health: Keeping active.
  • Stress reduction: The act of helping others reduces stress and contributes to mental health.

Living this experience will undoubtedly be a before and after. 

SOCIAL VOLUNTEERING

A volunteering initiative with leadership and impact through the educational action program.

When we talk about social volunteering, we refer to all those actions and activities carried out altruistically, selflessly, and with the aim of addressing multiple problems and needs of different communities, always focused on education and self-sufficiency.

Education is essential because it provides the tools and knowledge necessary for personal, social, and economic development.

Our goal is to create self-sufficient communities and provide opportunities for the future personal development of each member. The message is not to ‘give’, but to accompany in the process of training for self-managed provision.

At Cooperating Volunteers, many of our destinations and projects embrace this type of volunteering. Some of our projects include: community programs, education, women’s empowerment…

And although they are completely different from each other, they share a single objective: progress towards a society that can embrace us all in the same way.

If you are someone who is restless, who needs to see a change in the future, volunteering is an experience tailor-made for you.
