Vicky’s European Volunteering experience

In the past I have worked as a volunteer in several organizations, that directly or indirectly manage diverse groups, but I never had the opportunity to get really involved. Cooperating with Open Cultural Center, is a totally different experience. Not only I come across with different activities and get involved in different projects, but also have the opportunity to get in touch with people that I could never get in touch before.

Introduction to our new volunteers!

“I am a greek volunteer in Barcelona. I have studied applied informatics and Dairy science, both in Greece. I love to listen and play music, to hike and to explore new cultures and languages. I love nature, especially mountains and I would like living my life in a mountain running a farm but for sure having time for travels.”

Amic Meu

El llibre Amic Meu! explica el viatge dels refugiats il·lustrat i narrat per infants. Es tracta d’un projecte d’Open Cultural Center l’objectiu del qual és augmentar la conscienciació sobre la realitat de milers de persones desplaçades per culpa de la guerra, les quals estan en procés d’empobriment i es troben en una situació d’estancament sense sortida.

The theater play ‘El Mur (The Wall)’

Last Saturday, 17 November 2018, Open Cultural Center had a collaboration with Trenca Escenaris and Centre Sant Pere de Apostol to hold a theatre performance called El Mur. Since this was a charity event, the entrance was free but the audience could donate. “El Mur” means “The Wall” in Catalan, and it refers to the wall that prevents the displaced people entering the European countries.
