🏠 Accommodation on site

Travelling, accommodation, food expenses and allowances are covered following the regulation of the European Voluntary Corps. A designated person will organise the airport/station pick-up to the final destination. Accommodation will be provided in a shared room at a shared flat or youth hostel. Commuting to the school would be possible whether by public transport (travel card would be provided ) or bike (bicycle not provided by the programme).

🎒 Leisure activities

A member of the teaching team will support the volunteer during the whole placement and will act as its mentor. Support will be provided to understand the school dynamics, philosophy and the role that the volunteer will carry out. The mentor will also track the volunteer performance in order to provide the necessary tools to support and integrate the participant along the teaching team. Regular training to the teaching staff is organised at the school and those opportunities will be also open to the volunteer.

⚠️ Requirements

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
