İş Tanımı
This "cultural and festival" volunteer camp will support the organization of a Festival of National Tourist Interest, the Festa da Istoria, which highlights the cultural nature of the festival.
In this cultural celebration, history provides an insight into trades that are now in decline or forgotten, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, stonemasons, basket makers, and a long list of popular artisan traditions that have greatly influenced the economic history of Galicia, not to mention the importance of Ribeiro wine.
The work to be carried out can be classified into two areas:
A) Preparation of the ornamental elements for the "Festa da Istoria" decoration, focusing on the restoration of outdated or deteriorated materials, as well as the expansion of resources as requested.
B) Development of tourist resources to revitalize the town of Ribadavia beyond the "Festa da Istoria." A live role-playing event will be designed, in which the volunteers from the volunteer camp will design a story that they will then act out, interacting directly with local participants who join the activity.
