By renovating a number of Rio's public places with your in art, graffiti and gardening skills (creative and green-fingered types are actively encouraged!) you will help towards the wider goal of improving local youngsters' self-esteem. Cultural exchange is also crucial to this program, making it an ideal choice for overseas volunteers.
Highlights:
Work will be split between both physical and mental activities: 1) Painting, cleaning, decorating and fixing the public spaces, and also gardening. 2) Developing awareness campaigns regarding the maintenance of the public spaces, structuring community events within the renovated public spaces, and organising recreational activities in the community. The objective of this particular project is to renovate 20 public spaces in the Morro dos Prazeres in Santa Teresa along with an awareness campaign that will help maintain these spaces. The project will include 5 youths and 10 children from the Community. Each public space should take around 30 days to complete.
Qualifications:
Ideally, the project is looking for volunteers who have experience with environmental education and gardening, but the most important criteria are creativity, imagination, good sense of humour, and rapport with children. Basic Brazilian Portuguese and/or Intermediate Spanish is recommended.
