Activities: The association was created in 1997, after two years of a lot of work on the part of the youths of the village. From its creation that we tried to develop related actions with youths, with children, and still with the seniors or general population. Of our activities they stand out the recovery of traditions, researches and studies on the past of the village, occupation of free times, workshops, poetry competitions or of literature, sport activities, as the soccer, among others. Our main purpose it´s to increase the dynamic in the village, developing several actions with the youth, trying to fulfil the lack of activities.This Association have about 60 young boys and girls, and work on fields like: recuperation of local traditions and costumes; animation of the local community; workshops with children; internet point for all the community; coordination of the local parties. However, we are in a rural area, so we face many problems with our youth. We were trying to develop the reading habits, the foreign language development, learning about internet. It´s our aim to prepare the local youth to different realities that they live.
Community: Azinheira de Barros is in Alentejo,in the south of Portugal.It´s near the beach(about 30km),but it´s a rural village. The main means of transportation is the automobile, although exist public transportations, as they are the train or the bus, except on the school vacations, in that there is only the train. The population is in its aged majority, although they exist many young that develop a lot of activities. It is a rural way, that lives of the agriculture, of the services and of some rural tourism. For the youths there are some infrastructures: soccer field, polisportive pavilion , the headquarters of Colectividade, where people can play games, to read books, etc, and a mini gym.The Community is a little village, with 500 people, and about 1100 in the local administrative area. It´s a old community, far from the big cities, however we are in the middle of some major villages ( Grandola-20km; Beja-50km; Setubal-90km; Santiago do Cacém-30km; Ferreira do Alentejo-30km). It´s in Alentejo, and do not exist a huge number of shops or other things, only 1 restaurant,1 café, 1 mini market, and some institutions witch the ESV are going to work: ATL- with children; Casa do Povo- with elder people; CSCB- with youth and elementary School.
Objectives: The volunteer's purpose will be all developed by Colectividade (CSCB), it is from this association that the volunteer will have all the orientations and the choice hypotheses in its tasks. Even so, the project tries to involve the whole local community (due to its small dimension). The cscb intends a volunteer that can work in different areas, as they are the youth of the whole administrative area (two villages), the senior population (in 2 organisms where we tried to develop animation and participation), or the children. Although it is exclusively a project of this association, the cscb tries to enlarge it influences to the whole region, giving a new dynamics to this area. The importance of welcoming a foreign volunteer The village of Azinheira dos Barros is a rural place, with rural characteristics, where the school abandonment is precocious and where the infantile work is a reality. The choice of a volunteer from another country links with the youths' need to establish contact with new cultural realities and possibility of learn with that contact. It's important to help to diversify the activities in the community, to help the youths to practice the foreign languages and at the same time to give to the youths a new perspective of the European cultural diversity. The community will understand that europe is a mosaic of countries, all different ones but with similar purposes.
Selection: There are no special requirement to host the volunteers.
Tasks: The volunteer will learn the costumes of our country, especially about our community, he/she will learn to work with all ages (children, youth and old people), developing activities in 4 different association, in a way that it will never be possible to stay without do nothing. The purpose is to host someone, that learn about us and teach about his/her country.In the Holliday period only the School stops, so it will be possible to increase their work in other activities, because the number of young people in the community increase a lot. We offer a schedule of planning activities, but it will be possible to the volunteer to choose his principal tasks, it means that if the volunteer only wants to work with youth it would be possible. We only need to discuss that with the volunteer. The volunteers are able to choose one of the 3 types of activities on different places, all under the association responsability.
