🏢 About the local organisation
The General Directorate of Youth, Participation and Volunteering (www.xuventude.xunta.es) is a department of the Xunta de Galicia (www.xunta.gal) whose priority is to meet the needs and concerns of the young population living in Galicia, firmly believing that youth has much to contribute to society as a whole. We work to improve the quality of life of young people in our autonomous community, developing actions and programs that benefit them, increase their well-being and allow them to improve their skill.
💼 What the programme involves
It is an ethnographic work camp that will put volunteers in contact with the "Ribeira Sacra ourensEU", based on the knowledge of the history of Esgos in particular and Galicia in general. An important aspect in this camp will be the photographic compilation of the past of Esgos, tales and legends still alive told by our grandmothers and grandfathers. This audiovisual material will be assembled in podcast format and will be exhibited on a virtual platform.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will stay at the youth hostel Vilar de Ordelles in Esgos, which has 30 beds. https://goo.gl/maps/iJJeCHurmSS2
