About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will engage “hands-on” in a variety of both traditional and contemporary manual crafts and projects, and will be introduced to various skills and techniques that they will be required to practice in their day to-day service (mainly about traditional boatbuilding). Sharing maritime knowledge of each volunteer‘s home country will also be a component of this project. This program aims to improve the current and future life of the local community. TASK 1) The repair, restoration and seasonal maintenance of wooden boats will be the initial primary service of all volunteers. Individuals will be expected to learn and practice various skills using both traditional and modern tools. Guidance in learning and preforming the work of the boat carpenter will be directed by an experienced MEA builder of wooden boats.

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).
