Volunteering program – Live it Lisbon

“Live it Lisbon!” offers you the chance to do something different with your summer! The opportunity to make a difference in a community, meet people from many different cultural backgrounds and dive into the Portuguese culture. What you will take home is an unforgettable experience through helping others!

Description

The “Live it Lisbon! Summer Volunteer Programme” is a non-profit& low cost summer experience, which aims at promoting intercultural dialogue and social justice. It is meant to be a responsible and meaningful alternative to mainstream tourism, as over half of the time of the programme is spent on intercultural activities and on giving back to the socially & economically challenged host community of Bairro Padre Cruz in Lisbon, Portugal. The programme has been run since 2015 by an independent, grass-roots NGO, the Spin Association for the Exchange, Training and Cooperation among Peoples.

There are three sessions of the program planned for 2021: 17-27 July, 21-31 August and 4-11 September.

Eligibility

This summer volunteer programme is open to everybody aged 18 years and up.
