Descripción:
Eco-tourism involves two major themes: Nature and Culture. Ecotourism is a form of responsible travel which contributes to the protection of the environment in natural areas, and the preservation of culture in local communities. It also provides conscious travellers with unique experiences which cannot be provided by mass tourism. This is a new project initiated by FSL, which means there is still a lot to be done The volunteers will start by getting to know the village, neighbourhood and villagers in order to work together with them and see the different aspects of their lives. Educating the locals about the problems and exploring possibilities with Eco-tourism is an important aspect of the work. Volunteers have to develop a working methodology that taps into local resources Volunteers will develop a way of working, drawing local potential, introducing and setting up structures, such as: - Creating a database of information of the surrounding areas - Training and working with the local community in order to involve them in active participation. - Raising environmental and cultural preservation awareness - Setting up and running the Eco Tourism project - Making a web site and promoting Eco tourism as a form of livelihood for the local community. The main fields of work are: art, traditional life, sights, environmental awareness, food, agriculture, industry, medicine, landscape, outdoor activities, religion, and spiritual experience. Each of those fields is divided into more sub fields. You will be working in a small team or individually to complete the database. The work will include site-based research i hence the ability to research and write reports is appreciated. Please note minimum application is for four months.
You could be staying with local families near to the project. You could be sharing rooms with 2-3 volunteers or staying on your own. Sometimes, projects provide accommodation for the volunteers. The project will provide a room that is shared by other volunteers or with the staff of the project.
Your FSL Coordinator or your host family will help you find good places for you to visit or travel during your free time. India is place where you have lots discover
What is needed to be an LTV We welcome anybody who is interested to participate in our voluntary programs regardless of age, sex, religious belief, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Most of our programmes do not require any specific skills. But as the work is humanitarian in nature, we encourage volunteers to be: O Open Minded: It is essential to be open to new ideas, situations, morals, values and ways of doing things. Things may be different from what you are used to or your existing expectations. If you remain open minded then you will be flooded with new opportunities. Broadening the mind is at the heart of inter-cultural exchange. O Flexible: Remaining flexible to ideas, people, situations and encounters is important. While working at social projects, you will be dealing with people i and people are unpredictable. Taking a flexible approach is often the best way to deal with such situations. O Creative: Taking a creative approach to your volunteer placement and work maintains motivation and, prevents routine and boredom for yourself and the project. When you start to think creatively it is amazing what can be achieved.
