About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Candamo celebrates one of the most unique cultural events in Asturias every September, the CANDAMO 36-37 Historical Re-enactment Days that take place in Grullos, the capital of the council. Since 2011, and at the initiative of the Grupo Frente del Nalón Historical-Cultural Association, the town goes back in time to the turbulent years of the Spanish Civil War as if it were a true journey in a time machine. The main task of the volunteers will be helping to this festival. Before the festival starts, working with the actors, cleaning the area, setting the scenes and during the festival, assisting to the recreation and finally after the festival, helping to the deconstruct the scene, cleaning and organising the area. In between there will be some other environmental and manual tasks that will be done in the neighbour villages in order to help the locals.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation will be the local school of Candamo during the festival days and also in the town of Tinto between 9th to 15th. The accommodation conditions will be basic but it will be a decent arrangement for the volunteers comfort.There will be showers, bathrooms and a kitchen.

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).
