About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

"O cambio é teatro" (theatre means change) is a project that is part of the initiative "o cambio é voluntariado" that FOCO starts in A Guarda, with the aim of promoting volunteering, both local and transnational as a tool for social change. This is one of the three European volunteer hosting projects that FOCO is planning and that has theater as a tool for social change at its core. Volunteers will "shadow" or support professionals in the areas of theater facilitation, theater directing and project management. They will participate in a comprehensive training program on theatre facilitation with young people. They will be able to facilitate their own workshops and direct plays on their own, after having spent some time observing, and then working with youth (under supervision and support) to run workshops in pairs.

🏠 Accommodation on site

A Guarda is a municipality in the southwest of Galicia (Spain). It is connected to Portugal by the natural border of the river Minho to the southeast, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Volunteers will live together in a shared apartment in the centre of A Guarda. Each volunteer will have their own private room, but all other rooms will be shared between the volunteers (kitchen, bathroom, living room...). The costs of the apartment are covered by FOCO. They will be responsible for cleaning the apartment, cooking their own food, doing the grocery shopping... Bycicles will be provided.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will receive constant training throughout their stay. We will start with an initial training for Theatre Facilitation", an intensive workshop with everything you need to know to manage groups of young people and how to do it through theatre. Every week we will carry out the activity "Skill Sharing" a session in which each week one of the volunteers will lead a workshop in which he/she will share a skill of his/her own that he/she wants to pass on to the other participants. Every week there will be "Spanish Classes" and other theatre techniques.

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).
