🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in JFE facilities: furnished single-storey dwelling with outdoor space, single or shared room, shared living room, kitchen and bathroom. JFE will make available a monthly 150 € of pocket money + 150 € for food, and it must sign a receipt. The confection will be the responsibility of the same, safeguarding the questions related to the specific food / health needs. During the trip to the activities, the young person can do it on foot, because it is short routes, or use public transport, and JFE will proceed to the purchase of the monthly transport tickets.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive via email an OLS platform license so that he can take an initial assessment of the Portuguese Language and will have a set of tools available on the same platform to improve his knowledge, and at the end of the project he will carry out a new test. The volunteers will attend 45 Portuguese classes, where they will also have a training on customs, traditions, history and culture of Portugal to promote their inclusion in the community.

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).
