📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The General Direction for Youth, Participation and Volunteering has among its powers to promote work camps in the region of Galicia. This general direction belongs to the Ministry of Social Policy of the regional government of Galicia (www.xunta.gal)
💼 What the programme involves
We´ll carry the work needed for thevisitors to be able to easily walk around the site . Daily work will include cleaning up the archaeological area and the path, removing the dead brushwood and make all the area look clean and pretty.
Also, part of the tasks will be helping to organise the San Lourenzo festival on the top of the hillfort. It´s a traditional festival which had been lost and recovered a few years ago. All the community gets involved so you´ll be working hand in hand with locals and who knows, if you have any special skill you may perform something during the festival.
🏠 Accommodation on site
We want you to be confortable after work, so we´ve prepared a confie accommodation at the local sports center with bunk beds.
We also need you strong so all the meals will take place at local restaurants. You´ll get to know Galician culinary, one of the things we are well-known.
📍 About the location
Whileas your work is happening, archaeological dig may be taking place, so you will know first hand how archaeologists work. The team will be there to explain how they work, how they record data and so on. However they are digging or not while you are there, archaeological workshops will take place, so you´ll know all about the site and how archaeology works.
Besides archeology, we´ve prepared loads of fun for you. You will get to know very closely the territory through the tours we´ve prepared. You´ll visit other sites, palaces, natural attractions, traditional wineries and you´ll even walk a small part of the famous Camino de Santiago.
⚠️ Requirements
The specific and compulsory tasks of the camp will be developed in the morning. The volunteers will be divided into groups and will work under the guidelines of the director of the camp who will coordinate the tasks.
In the middle of the morning there will be a break for refreshment with a piece of fruit and water.
As for the voluntary activities in the afternoon there will be many activities to choose from.
The evening activities will offer several options (games, visits to near villages)
Cooperation and teamwork will be encouraged in order to improve the development of the camp.
