D'Orfeu River World Camp

  Portugal
    Aveiro

Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks
Dates: July 1 - July 15

Description: DOrfeu emerged in 1995 with the aim of promote new artistic events that could cross the traditional local culture with the various forms of art, especially music, allowing the cultural enrichment of the community. It is presented as a promoter of multidisciplinary events, which are reflected in festivals and other cultural and artistic moments throughout its existence. D'Orfeus activities bring together a diversity of branches that include cultural and artistic training (School of Traditional Music, Workshops), Creation (Music and Theatre) and Cultural Program (World Music Festival, Festival Gesto Orelhudo) and initiatives of international mobility inserted in youth programme oportunities (exchanges, European Voluntary Service). In a parallel way, d'Orfeu still holds numerous partnerships with other local organizations.

DOrfeu River World Camp aims at promoting interaction between young people and local community and its environmental and social cultural patrimony through spaces optimization/recovery, creation and maintenance of structures supporting the associations activities, as well as community activities such as Rio Povo platform event of multi artistic scope. During the project, volunteers will work about 5 hours a day.

Free time activities: In the spare time, volunteers will visit the region, with special emphasis to Águeda waterside zones, where among others, recreational activities will take place. They will also visit Aveiro and will participate in a large cultural program with different nightly amusement.
