About the project

ESC: Street Art for Solidarity

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

As a volunteer you'll collaborate with the ADESCO Cooperative team to implement a creative and socially impactful painting project. Your tasks will include contributing to all phases of the artistic process, from conceptual design and sketching to the final painting, under the guidance of project coordinators and experienced volunteers. Additionally, volunteers will organize interactive activities for the cooperative’s users, fostering engagement and inclusion, and promoting social solidarity by using art to bring joy to children, elderly individuals, and the broader community. As a volunteer you will have the opportunity to explore your creative talents, build connections, and contribute to ADESCO’s mission of empowering individuals with special needs and students in the Amarante region. Are you ready to unleash your creativity, make a meaningful impact, and have fun along the way? Let’s team up and create something truly inspiring together!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is provided at the youth center, with free laundry. Participants will share rooms with other team members. The youth center is equipped with internet, workspaces, and a bar/restaurant. Meals (vegetarian with protein options) are provided Monday to Saturday at the center, with one non-vegetarian dinner per week. Volunteers receive €20 for Sunday meals (reimbursed with invoices).

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will have access to the Portuguese Language Basics Course on the EU Academy portal. Once in Amarante, they will also receive basic Portuguese lessons conducted by the long- term volunteers.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: To participate, volunteers should have a passion for artistic expression, including painting and drawing, though professional experience is not required. Openness to working collaboratively in an inclusive and supportive environment is essential. Volunteers must also be willing to engage with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds, including children and elderly individuals. Active participation throughout the program and commitment to its solidarity-driven mission are mandatory. Strong adaptability and a proactive attitude are highly valued. Candidates must be 18 to 30 years old and reside in one of the eligible countries. When adding together this new volunteering opportunity and any previous participation in EU volunteering programmes, the total duration cannot exceed 12 months.

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).
