The idea behind Live it Lisbon! is to give the opportunity for participants to experience a culture other than their own through community work, language classes and cooking workshops, also while sharing the experience with the other participants.

During the mornings participants will work with the association staff and local people for the maintenance of the neighbourhood by cleaning and painting the walls, cleaning the streets and promoting attitudes towards recycling. Furthermore activities with local kids may be organized; volunteers may organize and participate in sport tournaments, inclusive workshops on various topics, according to your interests, and language tandem in which volunteers can practise Portuguese and the children can practise their English skills.
