12-month educational program: Experience - ReRal REgenerative Experience
The European Solidarity Corps Mobility Program offers a transformative 12-month experience in a very untypical rural village - São Luís, focused on community development. This project is a unique opportunity for young people from different parts of Europe to contribute to the revitalization of rural communities, while acquiring essential skills for personal and professional development.
A Transformative Rural Experience
Over the course of a year, participants will be hosted in a village in transition that integrates local cultural and social traditions with new experiences led by artistic, social and ecological movements that have emerged in the village of São Luís.
This immersive experience allows them to create an authentic connection with the rhythm of nature and the simplicity of everyday life in the countryside,
and at the same time participate in a vibrant fabric of lo cal community organizations and initiatives. The young participants cooperate and learn together with these initiatives, sharing their knowledge and innovative perspectives.
