Description
PLEASE ADD A COMMENT AS TO WHY YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THE VILLAGE WITH OUR TEAM FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY + DEMOCRATIC PERSPECTIVE We are people who were born in the village or who have moved from the cities and we want to collaborate with the rural community who have been living here for many years. We have 2 houses in the village and we are up and down all day long helping local people and young people who want to develop life projects here. - As a host organisation, within the village where we want to develop these volunteer projects, we want to promote the inclusion and integration of people who, even if they are not locals, feel that the objectives of revitalisation and regeneration are their own. Being able to give an international and European focus to the village where we will develop the activities will reinforce our work and the achievement of the objectives that will help the local community.
