📍 About the location
Agualva – Cacém is an urban area in the municipality of Sintra close to Lisbon (the capital of Portugal). You can expect a lot of buildings and people. The population in this area is quite interesting since we have a big diversity of nationalities and backgrounds in the city, it is worth the visit. From here you can get quickly to the beach, to the mountain, the airport and the capital.
🎒 Leisure activities
A visit to Sintra is also included in the program, so you can rest, take along walk or get to know the community better. We are planning a very dynamic approach for this workcamp, not staying too much time in a place, but also enough time to get to experience different things and environments.
You will be able to contribute to creating a community space and raise awareness about sustainable development. This will impact the city in a very positive way, so you are welcome to participate
