About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CineClube 47 is the result of a cooperation between Activar and the Municipal Theatre of Lousã, building a space for the creation, discovery, and sharing. The club is led by a group of people who are passionate about cinema and whose main goal is to encourage conversation about what each screening evokes in us. As a volunteer, you will play an important role in supporting both the daily activities of the venue and the development of CineClube47. Your tasks include: providing customer service and supporting the daily operation of the Municipal Theatre's cafeteria during weekdays; assisting in the promotion and communication of CineClube47 activities (creating content for social media and other communication channels); participating in the team's meetings to decide the films to be screened and plan the debate sessions; supporting the organisation and logistics of film screenings and post-screening debates; contributing with ideas and initiatives.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have a bedroom in a fully equipped flat in the centre of Lousã, with access to services nearby: bakeries, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, pharmacies, health centre; post office, swimming pool, gym, nature and cultural spaces. Food allowance will be given monthly, through Revolut account . There are local public transports and a bus to the city of Coimbra. You will be able to reach the workplaces and main services by bike or on foot and might also use Activar's van punctually for long-distance activities. There is access to Wi-Fi, electric heaters, bed linen and bath towel.

🎒 Leisure activities

Regular meetings and integration in Activar's teams as well as "on the job" training will be provided.

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).
