背景 Camp Description and Aims
The "Letters Connecting the World!" is a workcamp that aims to revive the tradition and joy of sending letters, fostering intergenerational and multicultural bonds in the community of Const?ncia. Throughout a week in September 2024, the Const?ncia Library will be transformed into a centre of dynamic activities, hosting 12 enthusiastic volunteers. The focus is on building lasting friendships between local and international youth, who will become pen-pals by the end of the project.
The project also aims to revitalise interest in libraries as cultural spaces, encouraging the community to rediscover these knowledge-rich locations. To achieve these goals, we propose a series of engaging and inclusive activities, providing opportunities for learning, connection, and creative expression for all ages.
仕事内容 Voluntary Work and Tasks of the Camp
The main tasks to be implemented by the volunteers during the workcamp include the following:
1. Facilitation of Activities at the Library:
- Conduct reading activities and storytelling for children.
- Organise thematic exhibitions featuring books related to different cultures.
2.Management of the Letter Drop and Collection Point:
- Establish and maintain a central point in the library for letter drop-off and collection.
- Encourage visitors to participate in the project by providing writing materials and envelopes.
3. Artistic and Sustainable Workshops:
- Facilitate the visual arts workshop to create a symbolic stamp for the letters.
- Organise upcycling workshops, teaching techniques to reuse materials and reduce waste.
- Lead the sustainable practices workshop, emphasising the importance of eco-consciousness in daily life.
4. Promotion of Calligraphy and Artistic Expression:
- Offer the calligraphy workshop to enhance handwriting skills.
- Encourage the creation of artistically decorated letters to make the experience more personal and unique.
5. Cultural Night in the Village:
- Coordinate the cultural night, where international youth will share their traditions and stories.
- Collaborate with local youth to create engaging and informative cultural presentations.
This workcamp will utilize creative methodologies, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in this field to enhance their creative skills. The tasks will enable volunteers to forge stronger connections across generations and cultures, as well as contribute to the transformation of the library into a dynamic centre for learning and cultural exchange in Const?ncia.
宿泊 The camping park is equipped with multiple hygiene facilities, including toilets, hot showers and a tank for washing clothes by hand - bring washing soap/ detergent if you wish to wash clothes, or you can buy it in the supermarket nearby. Multiple power sockets are also available to charge electronics. In the previous website you can get more information and see photos of the venue. If you have questions, you can also ask our team! The organisation will provide 4 meals a day - breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. The food will be cooked by a local and will be mostly typical portuguese food. Vegetarian options will also be available. In the proximity of the venue it is also possible to find stores, cafes and restaurants.
場所 We will be camping in Parque de Campismo de Const?ncia, located in a small village in the countryside of Portugal (approximately 1h away from Lisbon) with an estimated population of 7000 people. Details and photos of the camping facilities can be found in the website:

企画 During the free time, the volunteers will have the chance to relax in the camping park where you can find green spaces, tables and also a court to play ball games like futebol and volleyball. It is also possible to visit the fluvial beach in Const?ncia and other venues in the city, many of which we will get to know about during the first days, including the butterfly museum, the science centre, coffee places, among others. There will also be a free afternoon during the programme and there will be the possibility to do canyoning or visit another city in Portugal. The official plans are still to be confirmed, since we would like to know about the volunteers’ preferences.
備考 If possible bring some camping items, including tent, mat and sleeping bag. In case you do not own these materials we will lend them to you. Everyone should bring clothes according to the weather, personal hygiene items and medicines (if applicable), a bag/ backpack for daily use, a torch, a reusable water bottle and some items, of your choosing, to share during the intercultural night (eg: traditional food, clothes, art, etc).
