📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
A walk through the History of Madeira is a project that intends to present the culture, history, and heritage of Madeira, Portugal through guided tours and other cultural activities such as exhibitions or fado concerts. Throughout the last few years, the University of Madeira Students’ Union (AAUMa) has been developing several initiatives with a heavy focus on Tourism and Culture, under the Madeiran Heritage program. These initiatives are also directly connected with its social support programmes, which help the local community of Madeira. The guided tours take place across Funchal in several locations. By accompanying the visitors and presenting the history of these sites, the volunteer has an active role in the project which will enable him/her to acquire a specific set of skills and competencies, from linguistic abilities to time management and public speaking, as well as awareness of European values, such as tolerance and cultural diversity.
