About the project

UNITED BY DONKEYS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The main goals of this workcamp are the recovery of rural heritage, enhancing the biodiversity of our Center, and promoting the animal welfare of donkeys and their quality of life. We want to o enable the discovery of the Miranda Plateau, a unique rural region, rich in natural beauty, biodiversity, culture and traditions. With so aging population in these villages, one of the goals is bringing together the young participants and the local community, therefore promoting intercultural (urban/rural, international/national) and intergenerational (youngsters/ elderly) encounters and exchanges

💼 What the programme involves

Promote the animal welfare of donkeys - feed the animals and help with their basic care tasks Maintenance and improvement of the infrastructure of the donkey shelter Dry stone wall rebuilding Support autochthonous biodiversity Building and placing nest boxes for birds Activities to support local community

🏠 Accommodation on site

Basic housing with electricity ( with one large room equipped with bunk beds, one living room, WC, and showers with hot water. There is no bar in the village neither a supermarket, but if something is needed, we can easily support the volunteers to get it. Volunteers who want extra privacy can bring camping tents. Theres good wifi in the proximity of the accommodation, more precisely at the CAB office, which is in the village.

📍 About the location

The accommodation is located in Pena Branca village, geographically included in the Natura 2000 network and Douro Internacional Natural Park, about 6 kms from Miranda do Douro city. Located in a rural area in the northeast of Portugal, very close to the border with Spain, its a village that suffers aging population problems, which makes these experiences very important for the rural development of this region.

⚠️ Requirements

The Workcamp will take place in a rural village included in the Natura 2000 Network with less than 10 inhabitants, and most of them are elderly, so it is important that participants have respectful behaviour towards the community and nature.
