💼 What the programme involves
The Busturialdea-Urdaibai region contains a number of popular tourist destinations, including San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Oma Forest and the Gernika Assembly House (among others). This work camp will enable young people from all over the world to interact with tourists visiting the area. Volunteers will be stationed at the main tourist spots, conducting surveys and interviews in different languages (English, Spanish, Basque, etc.). Participants in the work camp will process the data gathered in these surveys and interviews, with the help of an expert in tourism.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Participants will stay at the Gautegiz Arteaga school, located on the banks of the Mundaka estuary, in the Busturialdea-Urdaibai region. Dormitories will be set up in the infant school, a building which is already equipped with bathrooms and showers. The bathrooms and showers located at the front of the school´s buildings will also be made available to participants, as well as a kitchen and dining hall.
📍 About the location
The entertainment team will propose a series of activities to facilitate the relationship between all the people participating in the work camp and the community where the camp is located. This will lead to a better understanding of the environment in which the work will be performed and enable participants to become familiar with Basque Country culture and customs (sports, games, trips to Bilbao and the Gipuzkoa coastline, cultural visits).
⚠️ Requirements
