💼 What the programme involves
Work involves excavating an archaeological dig site, cleaning the ruins, facilitating access to the site by clearing land and making paths (by moving rocks, cutting bushes, etc). All work will be done under the supervision of qualified archaeologists.

Mallorca Island
⚠️ Requirements
Motivation letter is required. Please bring your own sleeping bag. No archaeological experience is required, but any prior knowledge is welcome. Please be aware a good level of fitness is necessary as the camp involves heavy physical work.
ℹ️ Additional information
The local organization makes a big effort to make volunteers involved on the local culture, so there are several activities planned with that goal: cultural tours, visits to natural sites, participation on village festivals, intercultural meals with the residents, outdoors film projection, etc.
Yes, it is in Mallorca, but please don't apply if it only makes you think about sangria, beach and discoballs! Volunteering is a serious commitment and it needs to be taken as such.
