The Cultural Exchange: What You'll Gain
This is so much more than just volunteer work. It's a deep dive into a new culture and a chance to build real skills.
You will learn:
Technical Skills: How to operate a professional DSLR camera in manual mode. Understanding composition, lighting, and storytelling through your lens.
Videography Basics: Shooting stable footage, capturing clean audio for interviews, and learning the basics of editing a short video.
Social Confidence: The art of approaching people, making them feel comfortable, and conducting engaging street interviews.
A Local's Perspective: We'll take you to hidden spots tourists never see, share stories over fresh fish dinners, and introduce you to the heartbeat of Portuguese coastal life.
You will leave with: An upgraded skillset, a portfolio of work, new friends from across the globe, and memories of sun, sea, and sand that will last a lifetime.
Your Role & Daily Activities (No experience needed!)
Your days will be varied, fun, and always inspiring. We work around the weather and the waves!
Content Creation: Photographing and filming landscapes, seascapes, surfers, wildlife (like the birds at the Berlengas islands!), and daily life in town.
Street Interviews: Hitting the cobblestone streets to chat with travellers and locals. Asking fun questions about their experiences, their passions, and their connection to Peniche.
Story Development: Helping us brainstorm ideas for video series (e.g., "A Day in the Life of a Peniche Fisherman," "The Surfer's Morning Ritual").
Light Editing: Assisting with sorting the best photos and footage and learning the basics of piecing a story together.
We estimate 25 hours of help per week, leaving you plenty of time to explore, surf, or just relax on the beach!
You don't need to be a pro! You just need:
A big dose of enthusiasm and creativity.
A willingness to learn and not be afraid to ask questions.
Good social skills and respect for different cultures.
Some English (and if you speak other languages, that's a huge bonus for interviews!).
To be responsible with expensive equipment.
A love for the outdoors and an adventurous spirit!
