🏢 About the local organisation
The General Directorate of Youth, Participation and Volunteering (www.xuventude.xunta.es) is a department of the Xunta de Galicia (www.xunta.gal) whose priority is to meet the needs and concerns of the young population living in Galicia, firmly believing that youth has much to contribute to society as a whole. We work to improve the quality of life of young people in our autonomous community, developing actions and programs that benefit them, increase their well-being and allow them to improve their skill.
💼 What the programme involves
In the parish of Louredo in the municipality of Mos, we find this village, Aldea Alfacuca, restored with small and old buildings. These constructions were made around 1670, by Mr. Alonso Blanco. This project aims to help revitalize and recover an old village, providing it with spaces of community interest that can be visited by the neighborhood and where to know aspects of both Mos and our culture and ethnography. INTERVENTION: - Design and execute the planting of an Edible Forest / CO2 Sewer Forest. - Assembly of a small Nature Classroom in one of the enabled spaces, creation of information panels and selection of samples. Design of two activities to develop in the village by schools, etc. - Design and prepare a bio-intensive vegetable garden that will then be taken care of and maintained by the residents and that is for public use. - Creation of a sensory garden, with specimens of plants and aromatic herbs that stimulate the sense of smell as well as the other senses. - Assembly of a small ethnographic museum, through visits to the neighborhood, collecting old objects that may end up in the trash, to museumize a small classroom with objects of rural life. - Creation of a composter for local use, which will be presented once completed with an explanation of what it is and what it is used for, generating an associative fabric in which everyone can see their efforts rewarded by taking compost periodically.
