🇵🇹 ESC Volunteering in Portugal 💻 Digital Skills, Media & Makerspace Experience 🇵🇹

🌍 Introduction

Not every ESC project is about working with people directly.

Some are about building the tools that support people.

This one sits exactly there.

In Corroios, you’re working in a space where digital skills, media, and technology are used for social impact. It’s not just “learning tools” — it’s understanding how those tools can create opportunities in education, employment, and community development.

Makerspaces are increasingly used in youth work across Europe as environments where digital skills and creativity meet practical problem-solving.
