📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Agrupamento de Escolas Terras do Ave (AETAVE), is a cluster of 10 schools established in 2000–2001 in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Northern Portugal, with 1503 students spanning preschool, primary, and secondary levels. Dedicated to providing quality education, fostering inclusivity, and supporting holistic student development, our organization addresses diverse needs, including social, economic, geographical, and disability-related barriers.
Our key activities involve implementing student-centered pedagogical practices, school clubs, and active participation in European projects. Over 58% of students receive financial aid amid the region's economic challenges. We prioritize investments in IT solutions, incorporating STEAM and CLIL approaches, and initiatives like "Anima uma história" to enhance reading and comprehension skills through technology.
With a primary focus on students at all levels, especially those facing barriers, we strive for equal educational opportunities and personal development support. Our application for the Quality Label signifies a steadfast commitment to conducting high-quality solidarity activities aligned with European Solidarity Corps principles. It goes beyond recognition, representing our pledge to drive positive transformation within our local community. By formalizing our dedication, we actively contribute to a diverse network of organizations dedicated to fostering solidarity, inclusivity, and sustainable development at the grassroots level.
💼 What the programme involves
The Agrupamento de Escolas Terras do Ave is a Portuguese public school with extensive experience in Erasmus projects, valuing the importance and impact of cultural exchange on the personal and social development of young people.
This is a short-term opportunity for two volunteers, who will be involved in non-formal education activities carried out within the school, aimed at developing students’ personal and social skills.
Examples of these activities include: creating fixed games in the outdoor areas of the school building, sharing and cultural exchange activities, using school resources, such as a kitchen for organizing such activities, and intergenerational exchange activities within the community.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The school cluster provides accommodation for volunteers with local host families living near the school, offering them enhanced support and a richer opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture.
Volunteers will receive a food and transportation allowance, with access to local transport services. Additionally, all necessary information will be provided for any individual trips they may wish to take during their stay.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will have continuous support from the project team throughout the entire duration of the activity.
Before the activity begins, online meetings will be organized to clarify any questions, whether related to travel and accommodation arrangements or the specific activities to be undertaken.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: The ideal volunteer for this activity is a motivated young person, aged between 20 and 30, with an interest in interacting with children and young people aged between 10 and 14.
