🏢 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
The archaeological and environmental work camp "Castro de Montes Claros", will offer participants an exceptional opportunity to share different types of cultures, customs, ways of life, etc. They will know the castrexa culture, the Celtiberian way of life, etc, highlighting the social component. The area where the castro is located, its surroundings, its history, the origin, the meaning of the fortified towns of the Iron Age, etc. will be studied. We will clean the perimeter area of the castro, conditioning the access road, signage, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation of the participants will be in the building known as "O Hospital", in SantaMargarida. Known as such because it was formerly a hospital for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. Maintenance will be provided by the restaurant "MesEn A Taberna", located less than 50 meters from the hostel. Breakfasts will always be made on the premises at Meson, lunches and dinners also for the most part, except on those occasions that for reasons of excursions and outings, will be a picnic, previously prepared by the restaurant. Snack, always picnic, also provided by the restaurant.
