DOTS - Cooperativa de Inovação Social para a Transformação Social, CRL
Portimão, Portugal
Description
“All4One” has as main objectives to develop a culture of solidarity, to help the most disadvantaged people and also to increase youth participation. According to a study, the problem of parental crime, family violence, abusive consumption of alcohol and other psychoactive substances is a very significant reality in this location. DOTS established a partnership with the Municipality of Portimão and local civil society organizations to coordinate a social solidarity project that aims to enhance and involve young local and European volunteers in two aspects: 1. Solidarity in Education and 2. Solidarity in Subsistence - volunteers will provide support in the collection of food, in the construction of baskets, in the distribution of food, in the preparation of food. In terms of solidarity in education, volunteers will provide support in recreational and pedagogical activities and in the service developed by DOTS, information on mobility opportunities and European initiatives.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
DOTS will rent an apartment for the volunteers, ensuring health and safety conditions. There will be internet connection so volunteers can more efficiently manage their communication with home, family and friends.
