🏢 About the local organisation
Local partner is the Town Hall of Olvera. City Council of Olvera believes that youth participation is important for life learning. We are offering this international project for the first time.
Volunteers will have an excellent opportunity to share points of view and exchange artistic experiences among them and Spanish youth.
Campleader and local artistic coordinator will organize schedule and tasks, considering that the style of mural will be marked by the Andalusian culture and will have the approval of the head of the Department of Culture in the town.
💼 What the programme involves
Creating murals in the town, together with a group of around 10 local volunteers. The objective of the workcamp is to decorate various municipal public spaces. Among them a football field and other areas of the town. A local artist and a monitor will be in charge of organizing work with young local participants.

📍 About the location
At the tip of the "White towns route", the city of Olvera is located in the province of Cadiz, near the borders of the provinces of Seville and Malaga. The number of inhabitants is 8,585, although the number of "Olvereños" is possibly greater as migration to the coast in search of employment. The hills surrounding Olvera are full of olive groves. While olive groves are of great importance to the economy, the largest economic source of this colorful town is the "cooperative", since the town has a great number of cooperatives per inhabitant.
Don't miss to visit world famous city Ronda that is located close to Olvera! The Guadalevín River runs through Ronda, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches.
