SDG’s – PowerVision

Activity description

With this project we want to give you the opportunity to act actively in Sustainable Development, supporting and facilitating activities of Braga Youth Centre, which aim to contribute to the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's). As a Youth Centre we have as one of our goals to uphold the implementation of projects supporting and/or hosting activities of youth organisations of Braga that work with young people. Therefore, they will be invited to present initiatives that work on this theme. Thus, you will have tasks such as: providing logistical support to the initiatives organized by youth organisations in our Centre; streamline activities such as debates and informal talks that will focus on the theme of sustainability; provide technical support for these activities. With this project you will be able to acquire and improve your personal, social, and professional skills. We want you to become a more active citizen and more aware of issues that concern us daily.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

You will be hosted at the Braga Youth Centre, located in the historic centre of Braga, preferably in a double room, safeguarding possible previously agreed exceptions. In the room you have a private bathroom, daily cleaning, replacement of towels, shampoo and shower gel, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Daily meals will be served in our restaurant/bar and, if you want to cook your own meals eventually, there is also a hostel kitchen that you can use. About transport, you have several options at your disposal, such as a bus (with several bus stops next to the Centre), bicycles or electric scooters.

Training during the activity

Within the scope of the project, you will have a pre-departure training, organised by the support organization, to learn more about the ESC, the project you will be involved in, online training opportunities on the ESC Portal, to share your expectations, and fears, to receive more technical information, for example, regarding Pocket Money, and to talk about the importance of Youthpass as a way of recognizing your learnings. You will also have the appropriate language learning support and during the project you will have other training sessions organized by the NA for Erasmus+: Youth in Action.
