📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Volunteers will have the opportunity to work on Cova do Vapor, a fishermen s village very close to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Although you will find it extremely charming, for the people who live here, this is an isolated place that lacks public transportation, basic infrastructure and cultural/community events. International volunteers will work together with residents and also local volunteers to build a community space to be used by everyone in the future. In the meantime, this workcamp will be a great intercultural moment for everyone and hopefully will bring a long-lasting change in Cova do Vapor
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers activities will be both manual and social. You will help build the social community space, so there will be a lot of carpentry and installation of the surrounding green space. Volunteers will always be supported by architects and construction specialists.You will also help organize social and educational activities with the local children and youth. We would like you to, for example, organize a sports competition between the local community and international volunteers
