Cala: The team

This is the current Cala team

There are about fifteen of us in the Cala team . About half of us work exclusively on the Project with modest salaries. The other half has other jobs. All of us do unpaid work for the project.
We are one team and we try to take the necessary steps to take on the management of the whole project. Most of the work and everyday management is done, obviously, by the Cala “workers” , but the “volunteers” take on specific tasks according to their personal situation, and desired commitment level.

Our approach is that everybody in the team can participate on an equal basis in the leadership of the project, in the important decision taking processes, regardless of their situation or commitment level. Respect to the voluntary character of commitment is for us one of the most typical and positive features of our project.

We meet fairly regularly to be informed, to evaluate, to plan, to look after each other as a group, to take decisions on an equal basis, to do training within the group, to debate, to laugh, to talk…It is difficult to agree on dates for everybody to attend these meetings, but we try tirelessly and we manage eventually.

From the very beginning we wanted to be an open group, we love new people coming to the group.
