The Interreg POCTEP programme, which stands for “Programa Operacional de Cooperação Transfronteiriça Espanha-Portugal" is designed to foster cooperation and development in the border regions of Spain and Portugal.

• Conduct interviews with project partners, beneficiaries and stakeholders in order to collect testimonies and practical examples illustrating the impact of POCTEP-funded initiatives in the territory. These interviews will help develop engaging narratives that highlight the concrete benefits of cooperation for local communities and regional development.

• Visual documentation: The volunteer will capture photographs and short video clips during project events, meetings or field visits, helping to create visual material that can be used for communication campaigns, presentations and social media dissemination;

• Contribute to the management and updating of digital communication channels, including social media platforms and institutional websites, sharing news, updates and project results.
