A atividade principal consiste na recuperação de um edifício, que é atualmente uma Residência de estudantes, um Palácio, e que os voluntários irão desenvolver um conjunto de atividades de embelezamento, pintura, arranjos dos jardins entre outras, que possam surgir da criatividade e da energia dos próprios voluntários.
From the restoration and design of different indoor spaces and gardens, there is a chance to put your planning and creativity up for a challenge! At the same time, you are helping our small town.
This work will be focused mainly on the Maldonados Palace. The palace was built in the middle of the XVI century by a local family, It presents a renascent profile. Nowadays it became a student’s residence.
There will be two main areas of intervention:
-The gardens, where you will clean,
project, and build a concept for a new more up-to-date, and environmentally friendly landscape.
-The activity room, where you will paint, draw and create a more inviting and spirited environment for the youth.
The volunteers will also help in the restoration of the headquarters of the organization.
