📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Associação Spin is a non-profit association, whose fundamental objectives are to promote the intercultural dialogue, human rights, solidarity and social inclusion. The volunteers will participate: 1) in the activities of the "European Programmes and Mobility Department", helping in the logistical and administrative organization of Spin’s international projects; 2) in the "Image and Communication Department", where they will contribute to the creation and updating of media contents, including the monthly newsletter and promotional materials, and participate in youth related events to document all Spin’s activities and disseminate information about them; 3) in supporting management and staff of the Spin Hostel (by hosting groups, answering to requests for information, cooking and cleaning together with international groups, arranging cultural activities with the groups staying in the hostel, decorating the rooms and creating and maintaining communication regarding the hostel).
🏠 Accommodation on site
The travel from the place of residence to Lisbon and back will be reimbursed. The volunteer will lodge in a paid flat as close to the Spin's headquarters and the Lisbon centre as possible, sharing the room with another volunteer/student/young person. A monthly allowance of 180 euros (plus 150 euros more as pocket money) will be provided to cover food expenses and local public transportation. The volunteers are expected to spend 30-35 hours a week working, including time for language learning and lunch. Two days per week are free, with 2 more days of vacation gained every month.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will attend three training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; a so-called "on arrival training" in a few weeks after their advent in Portugal; a so-called "midterm training", around the half of the volunteering experience. Lessons of Portuguese are also provided on the spot.
