💼 What the programme involves

The project "Eurosenibiliza2 in inclusion" takes place in Zaragoza (Aragon, Spain). Normally, the service takes place during 10 months (October to July). The activities of the project are developed in 3 areas: Mental Health, Elderly and Training and Employment. All of them with the same aim: to increase the quality of life of the most vulnerable people in our society in a face-to-face way and supported with voluntary activities. The idea is to choose to start in one of the areas and in the middle of the program you can see the rest of the areas where other European Volunteers will guide you through them, as you would do so in your area to others. Volunteers participate in numerous programs and activities of the organisation, collaborating in specialised centres where local volunteering is developed and consolidated. In the mental health area, the Social Club and Espacio Visiones. In the area of elderly people, residences and day centres, as well as the training area.
