Dear all,
Associação Spin – the NGO from Lisbon, Portugal – for the second time is organizing and coordinating the Summer Volunteer Programme.
This project is being run outside of any EU funding, in the form of a summer experience program for participants from all over Europe and potentially the world. It is called 'Live it Lisbon!' and we have put a lot of effort in bringing this idea to life: creating it, preparing the schedule, designing the logo, website and preparing the facilities to run this kind of project.
The first edition of 'Live it Lisbon!' from last year turned out to be a great success and we are certainly hoping to repeat it also this summer. The application phase has already started.
The idea behind the 'Live it Lisbon!' program is that we want to give people the opportunity to make a difference in the community in which we operate, Bairro Padre Cruz, which is a public housing area of Lisbon. Along with community work, we will be running other activities, including cooking workshops and Portuguese classes. We want the participants to be immersed in the culture of Portugal with these activities, along with the social aspect of meeting people from other countries through the program. The program has been draft scheduled to last for 12 days per phase in total, and will run for two phases – in July and in September.
