Dootrip #000001178 - from Barcelona (Spain) to Dakar (Senegal)

My name is Matteo Vincenzi and I am volunteering at AUCOOP (University Student Association for Cooperation, https://aucoop.upc.edu/en) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) within the framework of a project named "Origin" carried out by OpenArms (https://www.openarms.es/en/our-missions/africa) in Dakar and S.Louis, Senegal.

Together with local organizations, OpenArms wants to be part of a positive and constructive change, working to 1. deconstruct the imaginary about migration to Europe, through information campaigns and community reflection about the alternatives; 2. create networks of collaboration and work along with the private sector to promote local employment; 3. empower the community and its young people by facilitating access to digital pedagogical tools and professional training.

In order to accomplish the project's objectives, AUCOOP will provide technical support for equipping two local schools with a PC-lab where local communities can get informed and receive digital pedagogical tools. To this aim, we would need 42 laptops to be delivered half in Mbour and half in S.Louis. 6 volunteers from AUCOOP will travel from the 18/01 to the 15/02 2020 and would be the responsibles for the related dootrips.
