Actualmente hay un amplio abanico de proyectos de participación voluntaria: desde apoyo a los servicios de atención jurídica de las organizaciones sociales; elaboración de informes que inciden en la mejora de vida de un colectivo; o charlas y talleres para la defensa de los derechos de las personas vulnerables; hasta apoyo a las necesidades jurídicas de las entidades. En este enlace tienes acceso al listado actual de proyectos.

Los proyectos de Aprendizaje-Servicio dirigidos al alumnado de Derecho combinan varios objetivos: aprovechar tu formación académica para ponerla al servicio de personas que lo necesitan, reforzar tu aprendizaje académico y profesional y ayudarte a hacerte consciente de la realidad que nos rodea.

Solicita tu plaza, la recepción de inscripciones cierra el 16 de septiembre de 2019 a las 23:59. Cuanto antes lo hagas más fácil será que podamos ofrecerte el proyecto que más te interese.

QUEREMOS DARTE UN PREMIO: Comillas Solidaria

Suscríbete a nuestra NEWSLETTER

Las universidades de Deusto, Comillas y Ramon Llull tienen un claro interés en fomentar que su alumnado conozca los problemas sociales y se comprometa con su resolución. Una de las maneras de hacerlo es profundizar en el análisis y conocimiento de estos problemas de forma rigurosa y explorar en la búsqueda de posibles soluciones, o poner en marcha iniciativas en nuestras propias universidades que contribuyan a construir una sociedad más justa y humana. Para alentar estas iniciativas, se convocan por séptimo año los Premios Aristos Campus Mundus de Responsabilidad Social.

Si has desarrollado un trabajo académico con esta orientación, incluidos TFG y TFM, o si tienes en mente o en marcha una propuesta solidaria en tu universidad… queremos darte un premio. Si quieres orientación sobre cómo hacerlo, también puedes ponerte en contacto con nosotros.

YA QUE ESTÁS AQUÍ…

• Plaza con CCAIJO en Andahuaylillas.

La Universidad Pontificia Comillas, a través de Comillas Solidaria, y la Provincia del Perú de la Compañía de Jesús vienen colaborando desde hace años en diferentes iniciativas. Una de ellas es la gestión de experiencias de voluntariado de un año de duración. Se trata de experiencias “profesionalizantes” para graduados y postgraduados de nuestra universidad a través de la colaboración con diferentes iniciativas de intervención social.

Originalmente, la convocatoria estaba restringida a titulados en el Máster de Cooperación. En la actualidad la oferta se ha expandido y diversificado, dando cabida a titulados de otros postgrados y, eventualmente, grados, siempre que incluyan formación específica en cooperación internacional o el/la candidato/a pueda acreditar experiencia y conocimientos en este campo. En todo caso, es importante tener en cuenta que en casi todos los casos los perfiles exigen formación específica en la gestión del ciclo del proyecto (marco lógico).

Buscamos candidat@s que tengan una vocación profesional clara por la intervención social y la cooperación internacional, que hagan una apuesta fuerte por el servicio a los demás y que reúnan una cierta identidad con los criterios y modos de trabajar de nuestra contraparte en Perú. Las condiciones son similares en todos los casos: los costes de desplazamiento y gestiones previas corren por cuenta de la persona seleccionada mientras que la organización receptora se hace cargo de los costes de alojamiento, manutención y gastos personales, con el criterio de que la estancia en Perú no suponga ningún gasto adicional. En algunos casos la remuneración recibida cubre todos los gastos; en otros, parte de la remuneración (en particular el alojamiento, en ocasiones también la manutención) es en especie. Las organizaciones locales, en todo caso, apoyan en las cuestiones logísticas, incluyendo la gestión de los permisos de estancia.

L@s candidat@s seleccionad@s recibirán de parte de Comillas Solidaria toda la información relevante respecto de las funciones a desarrollar en terreno, la organización de destino, los trámites administrativos a realizar (incluyendo obtención de visado y contratación de seguro), las condiciones de vida en Perú y, en general, cualquier dato que sea de utilidad para su viaje, instalación y correcto desempeño de sus funciones.

Conviene resaltar, en todo caso, que la Universidad Pontificia Comillas participa en este proceso como nexo entre los candidatos que postulan a las plazas convocadas anualmente y las distintas obras jesuitas peruanas que convocan las citadas plazas. En virtud del convenio existente entre Comillas y la Provincia Jesuita del Perú, la universidad hace pública la convocatoria y se encarga de la primera fase del proceso de selección. La decisión definitiva corresponde a las organizaciones peruanas que son parte del convenio, que son igualmente las entidades con las que los voluntarios seleccionados establecen a partir de ese momento una relación formal. En todo caso, Comillas Solidaria mantendrá una relación fluida con cada una de las obras y con los voluntarios y se reserva el derecho a ser informada y escuchada en casos de conflicto o discrepancia grave que afecten al voluntari@, a las condiciones pactadas o a la permanencia del voluntari@ en el puesto.

El compromiso con la justicia que promueve Comillas Solidaria quiere abarcar toda la realidad, desde la más cercana hasta la relacionada con los desequilibrios globales. La casa no se empieza por el tejado, y por eso creemos que no tiene sentido comprometerse con un voluntariado internacional sin haber tenido experiencias previas en lo local. Dicho esto, implicarse con realidades distintas puede ayudar a construir una ciudadanía global, abierta a la diversidad y comprometida con una visión internacional de la justicia y la solidaridad.

FORMACIÓN PARA EL CAMBIO

Algunos de los retos que todos nos planteamos cuando decidimos implicarnos en un voluntariado para mejorar la realidad son:

     - ¿Por qué se dan estas situaciones?
     - ¿Estoy preparad@ para afrontarlas? ¿Yo qué puedo hacer?
     - ¿Qué habilidades se necesitan? ¿Las tengo? ¿Puedo aprender?

Son preguntas importantes. La pedagogía jesuita propone VER (conocer la realidad), JUZGAR (entenderla, ser capaz de analizarla y de descubrir qué hay que hacer… y aprender a hacerlo) y ACTUAR (implicarse en ella).

Desde Comillas Solidaria te ofrecemos dos modelos de espacios formativos: talleres (para desarrollar habilidades útiles para la intervención social) y seminarios (para conocer mejor la realidad y descubrir cómo puedo actuar sobre ella, ahora y en el futuro, como ciudadan@ y como profesional).
