VIVA — Volunteering for Inclusion, Voice and Action
Adamastor - Associação Cultural
Viseu, Portugal
Beskrivelse
VIVA – Youth in Action in Viseu is a European Solidarity Corps project hosted by Adamastor in Viseu, Portugal. It brings together local and international volunteers to promote inclusion, strengthen youth participation, and support more sustainable communities.
Volunteers will collaborate with local young people and partner organisations on community initiatives, civic engagement, and environmental awareness. They will share ideas, take initiative, and help develop creative responses to local challenges.
Guided by the EU Youth Goals, VIVA particularly supports young people with fewer opportunities. Through volunteering, non-formal learning, and intercultural exchange, participants will develop teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills while contributing to positive change in Viseu and its surrounding communities.
Logi, mad og transport
Volunteers will stay at the Viseu Youth Hostel, providing a welcoming environment where they can connect with other participants. A food allowance will be provided at the beginning of each month, allowing volunteers to organise their own meals. Participants will also receive pocket money and a contribution towards return travel costs, in accordance with European Solidarity Corps funding rules. All practical arrangements will be explained before arrival.
