🏢 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
This work camp intends to promote among youth the values of solidarity and commitment to the community, especially with people who are in a situation of special vulnerability or lack of protection, through the development of inclusive volunteering activities. The aim is to create a diverse working group in which young people with intellectual disabilities, at risk of social exclusion, etc., learn the value of diversity and share the same mission "to preserve Galician natural and cultural heritage from a supportive and inclusive perspective". The programming will focus on the following activities: Conservation work on the Illa de SEUlvora. Construction and installation of nest boxes for bats. Cleaning of beaches, classification of the waste found and characterization of the species that inhabit the island. Reconstruction of granaries. Construction and installation of a hotel for insects on the Illa de Ons. Eradication of exotic species.
