🏢 About the local organisation
INSTITUTO NAVARRO DE DEPORTE Y JUVENTUD is the Department of Sports and Youth of the Government of Navarre. The INDJ develops a program of work camps for young volunteers from all countries to learn about the history and culture of Navarra.
💼 What the programme involves
The city of Estella-Lizarra has a rich Jewish past since the foundation of the city in the XIth century. The Jews stayed there until 1498, but nowadays there are not visible buildings from that time. Today we can only see the wall that surrounded and defended the Jewish quarter, ``the guetto´´, which is located at the feet of Camino de Santiago.
The young volunteers at this Workcamp will work at three different areas: the scientist (archaeological excavations and cleaning the ground in order to make a study of the land by ``Ground-penetrating radar´´; recovering the area (cleaning the surroundings of ``the ghetto Wall´´) and promoting the Jewish heritage (making public guided visits about the environnement).The direction team will be formed by qualified staff for the specific task of the camp
