This program in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, features three different projects, each focusing on addressing specific issues, including access to education, food waste, the environment, etc.. This vibrant city offers a rich culture and history, incredible architecture, delicious cuisine and stunning beaches, all just waiting to be explored.

One of the community projects in Lisbon focuses primarily on fighting against food waste and feeding those in need. The number of people, both families and individuals, in need has been increasing in recent years, making this project particularly vital.

The childcare project is also important as it contributes to the healthy development and future of the children. This rewarding experience in turn benefits the community as a whole.

The culture and community project will allow you to explore the city in depth as well as make meaningful impacts on the community. You could be involved in educational programs, environmental initiatives, or community outreach projects, taking language classes alongside these projects in order to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

Every program includes at least a basic Portuguese lesson as well as a walking tour throughout the city to see the local attractions and landmarks.

Education & childcare:
The education and childcare program in Lisbon prioritises providing education, assistance and child care to those in need, encouraging children’s healthy development. You will be working with young children usually within the ages of 3 and 5 years old. You will also be working closely with the other teachers. Through this project you will not only care for the local children and teach them basic English, but would also support the local teachers and staff, gaining practical experience in teaching young children.

Your main tasks may include helping out in basic routines such as naptime, lunch and other activities. You will also be able to contribute to the lesson planning, preparation, and other administrative tasks as required by the class teacher.

This kindergarten also prioritises teaching socio-emotional abilities such as critical thinking, expressing ideas, how to be grateful, sharing, being generous, being empathetic, and acknowledging others may feel. These skills are also very important for the children to develop.

There are two schools that volunteers can help at, depending on the need. One is attached to a Catholic church, though volunteers do not need to share this faith to participate in the program. The other location has a playground that is fairly empty and therefore volunteers are encouraged to use creativity in coming up with games to play with the children, given the materials available, such as tires and paint.

Food waste:
This community project in Lisbon aims to reduce food waste and contribute to feeding those in need. Big cities such as Lisbon have recently noted an increase of homelessness, the rate of which increased by 78% in Portugal due to the real-estate crisis and an increase of drug addictions.

This project ensures that good food is not wasted and people do not go hungry. By actively promoting social and environmental responsibility, both individuals and companies can participate in a circular economy producing social good on the community level.

Your day-to-day tasks may include collecting good food that would be wasted at restaurants, delivering meals to those in need, preparing food, serving families and individuals, organising and storing food, maintaining equipment and facilities, etc.

Community project :
This project is a unique approach to experiencing Portugal. You will have city tours, trips to the market and visits to iconic landmarks and scenic villages. Alongside these experiences you will engage in activities at the Community Engagement Project and be able to make a difference in the local community. You will immerse yourself in the culture and history of the coastal town of Cascais.

Some of the tasks you may be engaging in could include supporting education initiatives, participating in sustainable projects, or helping with local organisations. Regardless of the specific activities you do, you will leave a lasting mark on the individuals you encounter and the community as a whole.

This project allows for a transformative journey beyond typical tourism. The aim of this project is to create meaningful connections between travellers and the local community, supporting cultural exchange while making a positive impact.

At Village Capital, we believe that the work of entrepreneurs solving urgent problems is vital to face the current world situation. For this reason, we fuel the growth of sustainable and impactful businesses by unlocking capital for early-stage entrepreneurs who are building emergent solutions for social, economic, and environmental challenges worldwide.

Greentech LatAm 2024: The Future of Sustainability will support early-stage companies who are creating locally viable solutions focused on cleantech and climate tech, agtech and food security, circular and regenerative economy, natural resource management, water sanitation, and health in Latin America. The companies will participate in 3 weeks of virtual workshops where they will have the opportunity to analyze their business from different perspectives and be better prepared to keep growing.

The volunteer will say a few words to close the program with the cohort (30 minutes) at the very last day of the virtual workshops. This is a private event with only those participating in the program, so the participation should come from someone that has been involved in the program or knows our work together well.

Work includes tending to the rain garden to remove weeds and cottonwood saplings and removing horsetail and other unwanted vegetation around train tracks and other green spaces and removing blackberry brambles all around the grounds and weeding out small plant growths between the parking lot paving stones and trimming back roadside plants to keep the driveway visibility accessible and safe.

We have a number of sites around West London where we organise tree planting days.

In 2019 we successfully delivered a tree planting effort in Tower Hamlets where we planted 10 trees in conjunction with Tower Hamlets Council, The Mayor of London and the Faiths Forum for London.

We are looking to work with businesses and the community to deliver a series of corporate volunteering events to plant trees in the West London area to benefit the natural environment.

In 2020 we successfully planted 10 trees in Hounslow Crane Park for the community and environment.

In 2021 we planted 10 trees in conjunction with Lampton Greenspace 360 in Hanworth Park, this project was coordinated with Heathrow Airport Ltd and involved a collaborative venture with their employees encouraging volunteering in the community and environmental awareness.

Our goal is to help those who are vulnerable, as well as create a better understanding of the importance of sustainability and recyling/ reusing the resources available to us.

These sites have been identified as being less accessible to the community and initiatives that improve this area as greener spaces have been encouraged by the local councils we work with. It is directly from their support and direction that these sites have been selected in consultation with the community.

We will work together with the local councils across London and volunteers to locate the best places for the trees and then invite people to participate on
arranged days to join together and plant the trees as a community effort.

We will upskill those attending by providing training in BS standard tree planting
and gardening, offering an access point to employability.

Tools and PPE will be provided, weather and digging appropriate clothing and footwear is essential.

Public liability insurance is in place for this activity.
