📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Fundação Padre Tobias is an institution that aims to promote social responses to the community where it is inserted, in particular with child, youth and old people intervening in an integrated and personalized way. The added value of integrating this project is that we can work with young people in our community, as well as with young people from foreign countries, thus providing them with the possibility of acquiring new technical and psychosocial skills through intercultural sharing. The activities for volunteers are related to the support that the Foundation promotes in the community where it is inserted, namely with the elderly, kindergarten, and the Second Chance School.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The Padre Tobias Foundation has the Padre Tobias International House to host its volunteers. This house is located in a strategic place, in the city center, in order to provide quick access to the essential services services essential to the daily life of the volunteers. The house itself is functional, cozy, simple and adequate to its people, with the exception of people with reduced mobility.The volunteers will have at their disposal at their disposal food provided by the Father Tobias Foundation, so that they can cook their own meals.

🎒 Leisure activities

As per the protocol of the European Solidarity Corps, volunteers have training upon arrival at the National Agency. During their activities, volunteers will be offered non-motherly Portuguese language classes.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The Padre Tobias Foundation wants volunteers to be involved and integrated in the dynamics of the institution.

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).
