Role and tasks of the volunteers:
The volunteers in this project can develop activities in «Espaço Criança», which is a project is dedicated to children taking place at a former primary school ran by Carpe Diem. It aims at providing local children with a dynamic space to develop social and educational activities after school.
This project was one of the first of this association and it has become really successful. Daily the staff and volunteers will give lunch and organize activities for a group of children from 3 to 6 years old and will prepare weekly workshops for another group of children from 6 to 12 years old. It is expected that the volunteer actively help to plan, prepare and develop the daily activities done in «Espaço Criança» and interact with the children always with an educational approach. It is also interesting that volunteers show their culture to the children by organising activities related to their countries. There is also the plan to improve the facilities of “Espaço Criança” by planting a little farm and garden, in which volunteers can be engaged together with the children.
Other part of volunteers work is done in the association and consists in helping to develop the cultural programme of the association, namely events for the whole village and also the villages around (Salvada and others). Volunteers can also help in the daily run of the association and of its library and internet spot.
More precisely, these are the tasks of the volunteers related to different areas (some other tasks or activities are open for volunteers to choose according to their personal interests):

– Help organising and developing Plastic Expression workshops for children (weekly workshops, holidays workshops, workshops during special dates or events);
