💼 What the programme involves
The project will take place in Central Portugal for 12 months. In this project we invite one volunteer from the Netherlands. The receiving organization, Louzanimales, is an animal shelter and mainly works on awareness of animal rights for the local community. The target groups are mainly children, youth and young adults.
We appreciate young volunteers that are: open minded, feeling confident with the objectives of the Host organisation, are creative, taking initiatives, having a sense of responsibilities, organised and able to adapt to different conditions of living and work, flexible to establish relations with different persons. It’s very interesting when volunteers have special abilities to contribute to the projects, although it’s not necessary to have any special knowledge, education or skills.
The methodology we use will be based on non formal learning, inter cultural learning and learning by doing.
