About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This is an artistic project where young people create a show and then perform in different villages and towns in Sierra Norte de Madrid. But the participants are not only people but also donkeys. We have 2 nice donkeys and they are an important part of the project every year, they tour together with the group. So while the performers prepare a show, someone has to take care of the donkeys that are very nice. First, the participants will prepare a street theatre with a clear environmental message, adding their own creative performances (dance, music, joggling, and singing). They will be sharing ideas and creating a really spectacular performance in each village they visit along the way. When the performance is ready, we shall head off on our caravan with the donkeys! We will stop at each village and perform our shows and workshops which we have prepared. Then the local people can share their thoughts of environmentalism, donkeys and the workshops we are doing.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In the local hostel of Sieteiglesias. The volunteers will be sleeping in the hostel which has 3 big rooms and several bunk beds. There are also separate showers and bathroom facilities and a fully equipped kitchen in the building. The hostel has its own garden. The volunteers will be cooking for themselves under the guidance of the camp leaders. The ingredients and the shopping will be done by our camp leaders.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will have an opportunity to live together in a group of people of different nationalities, so they can learn many interesting things from each other and raise their level of cultural tolerance. Also, it´s a great experience of working in a team, especially an international one. It´s a project where you can show all your talents and creativity.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
