THE MOVIE: Volunteering on a sunny Sunday

In the framework of the Grundtvig EU project “Tell me about your commitment!”, the local group of Barcelona deicded to make a fiction movie about volunteering, in order to transmit their conclusion after months of debates about “being a volunteer”. They decided to produce, direct and play a story in which the different aspects of volunteerism appear. It is about a young woman who has never served as a volunter and who meet a group of volunteers in a “remote” neighbourhood. Step by step she gets involved with the group. The story tells the commitment of local volunteers towards their community and the organisation of a Communty Lunch – in which the whole community will take part – as a way to promote living together. The involvement of the volunteers might be at different levels, but at the end of the day they all look for transforming the reality through living and sharing the values of mutual respect, dialogue, solidarity and learning together.  The video is in Spanish, with minimum English sub-titles to make the story understandable.
