1 , OpenProject description
A Walk through the History of Madeira is a project that intends to present the culture and history of Madeira through guided tours and other cultural activities such as exhibitions or fado concerts. The guided tours take place across Funchal in several locations such as the Historical City Centre, the City Hall or the Jesuits’ College of Funchal, among other attractions and landmarks. By performing the guided tours and explaining their purpose to the guests, the volunteer assumes an important role in the promotion of social support programmes developed by the University of Madeira Students' Union which enable various endeavours such as the refurbishment of the University of Madeira, providing school supplies and daily meals to less fortunate students or acquiring scientific publications for the library of the University of Madeira. We are looking for one volunteer from Belgium to take part in this project! What are you waiting for?
