🏠 Accommodation on site

The Coordinating Organization (Asociación Auryn) will provide an apartment appropriated for the basic needs of the whole volunteering team. They will share an appartment with two other volunteers. Additionally, we’ll provide a weekly allowance for food for each volunteer. Apart from covering the apartment and the allowance, the European Solidarity Corps Project provides a quantity as pocket money for the volunteers to use for their own expenses. The apartment is close to Alzheimer's Center and to the city center, so transport is not needed.

The volunteer will attend the On-arrival Training and the Mid-Term Evaluation that are organized by the National Agency. In this trainings it is possible to meet other European volunteers who carry out their projects in different places in Spain. In addition, we will provide free Spanish classes. The host entity will provide, free of charge, the training that the volunteer may need to perform their tasks correctly

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).
