🏢 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 Serra do Courel is not free of pre-Roman remains and there are many examples of settlements distributed throughout its valleys. There are several remains of castros, for example that of Vilar, that of Seceda, A Torre, or this one, the Castro de Vilamor, also called castro da Pena do Castro. All of them were later Romanized and served as support for the intense mining work of these mountains by the Romans. Actions: - Weeding and cleaning by means of appropriate tools, assessing the conditions of each area so as not to alter any aspect of the site. Thus, the work will be carried out with hand tools such as pruning shears, sickles, sacks, etc. At the end of the work, the performance space will be free of rubble and stumps. Existing native trees on the performance area will not be cut down, as long as they do not seriously affect the archaeological structures. - Learning about the 2030 Agenda and creation of catalogs and measures and proposals for the council through three SDGs. - Revitalization of the different routes of the City Council of Folgoso do Courel through its maintenance and digitization to create greater dissemination. - Creation of contents in video format about the Geopark and the Castro de Vilamor.
