NOW CLOSED 3 placements available for young people aged between 18 and 30 – 1 from 7th March to 17th April, 1 from 23rd April to 4th June and 1 from 12th June to 23rd July 2018 in Lugo, Galicia, North West Spain.
The project is aimed primarily at local youth, but the goal is to involve the entire community regardless of age, gender, etc. The central theme revolves around the promotion of healthy living habits, offering new alternatives for leisure time to the inhabitants of the city of Lugo.
The main activity of this project is the construction of a disc golf course in a public space in the city of Lugo. Each group will construct a course in a space given by the City Council of Lugo.
Volunteers will help with the promotion of the new sport introduced in the city. They will organise different public events. At the end of each activity, volunteers will practice the sport in the course they have built with a group of people from the local community.
They will be encouraged to share their own proposals (related with the promotion of healthy lifestyles in the host community), trying to carry out as many of these as possible during the development of activities.
In addition to this volunteers will have Spanish lessons twice a week for one and a half hours a day.
