Resumo: "Project environment:
Tortosa is the capital the region “Baix ebre”, administrative and commercial centre of ""Terres de l'Ebre"", province of Tarragona, in the South of Catalonia. This area has a rich historical and natural heritage and two Natural parks: Parque Natural del Delta del Ebro and the Parque Natural de los Puertos. Tortosa is a city of approximately 46.000 inhabitants. Due to the importance of its agriculture (citrus, mainly) it hosts many immigrants (25% from the city), from about 110 nationalities. 27% of the population are young people. The main economic activity in the region is service, followed by agriculture and industry. Thus it is mainly a rural area where European Youth information is not readily available and the opportunity of taking part in this kind of projects is not very common. As public transport service between villages is sparse, most people use private transport.
Coordinating organisation:
The coordinating organisation is obre’t’ebre, which was establish by three European volunteers after a Future Capital. At present the organisation counts on two workers, and about 10 volunteers who helps obre't'ebre occasionally. obre´t´ebre is located in the Youth Information Point of Tortosa, in the sports centre of the city. Since its creation obre't'ebre has organised four international exchanges and four summer work camps, supported and guided youth initiatives, sent seven EVS volunteers, hosted four EVS volunteers and is hosting a EVS volunteer from Turkey from september 2009 till june 2010, ....

Hosting Organisation:
The Instituto Municipal de Actividades Culturales y Turísticas de Tortosa (l'IMACT, Municipal Institute of Cultural and Tourist Activities of Tortosa) was created in 2002 as a dependent entity of the City Council.
Its aims are the development and promotion of tourist and cultural services and all issues around them (citizen's initiatives, heritage, research, policies, relations and agreements with other entities,...).

Its growing use by youth year after year, due to the quality and quantity of information, and its difusion and promotions, has made it develop and offer new services.
