ESC: Escolíadas Educative Project: Volunteering Team through Arts and Youth Participation

The Participant profile: We are looking for open-minded young people, aged 18 to 30, who are interested in performing arts, education, youth work and community projects. The volunteering team will include 12 participants, aiming to bring together 6 Portuguese and 6 international volunteers. Participants should be motivated to learn by doing and to support a creative project with schools and local communities. During two weeks in December, volunteers will support Christmas performances developed by schools. They will accompany rehearsals in schools, support stage set-up, follow the shows, help with dismantling and take part in the practical organisation of the events. Volunteers will also support cultural and artistic activities for the community, taking place in public spaces and tents as part of the Christmas programmes of Mealhada and Cantanhede. These activities will be mainly addressed to pre-school children, schools and primary school pupils. Any kind of support during the process is welcome. Volunteers may help with production, logistics, backstage support, materials, communication, event promotion and practical tasks during activities. No professional experience in the arts is required. What matters most is curiosity, motivation, flexibility, teamwork and willingness to contribute to a creative community project.
