The "ReSound" workcamp proposes the use of discarded and reusable materials to build musical instruments, transforming waste into tools for artistic expression and environmental awareness.
By combining environmental education with music and non-formal learning methodologies, the project promotes creativity, teamwork, and intercultural dialogue among young people from different countries. Music is used as a universal language that encourages inclusion, cooperation, and mutual understanding, while also fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment.

Throughout the International Work Camp ReSound, participants will be actively involved in all stages of the project. Their tasks will include taking part in group dynamics and intercultural activities, participating in environmental awareness sessions focused on waste reduction and reuse, and collecting and selecting reusable materials within the local community. Participants will collaborate in the design and construction of musical instruments made from recycled materials and engage in sound experimentation and collective music creation. They will also take part in rehearsals and contribute to the preparation and organization of the final public performances, which will be presented to the local community of Ermesinde and, whenever possible, in the city of Porto. Finally, participants will be involved in evaluation and reflection activities, assessing both individual learning outcomes and the overall impact of the project.

Volunteers will stay in shared accommodations provided by Associação SóJovem das Saibreiras, equipped with hygiene facilities, sleeping areas, and common spaces. Three meals per day will be provided, including local and vegetarian options. Internet and laundry facilities will be available.
