Other activities
Planning meetings with the project manager. These meetings are aimed at planning and review of the volunteers' work in the organisation. They also provide continuous assessment and allow to tailor volunteer's work to their concerns and interests.

On the other hand, they can participate in the activities of one of the 70 youth organisations that form it, carrying out different activities (educational, entertainment and leisure, sports, leisure, labor, political, musical, cultural, for the protection of the Asturian culture, and of neighbours).
Description of activities:

1st week: adaptation. If we have 2 volunteers, we hope they get to know eath other in that week.
Spanish language course, adapted to their level. If the level is too low, it is possible to do another course (intermediate level).
They will also receive specific training: health, European information, housing, social and cultural entertainment, leisure, youth participation,...
The tasks can be adapted to the preferences and initiative of volunteers after they know our organisation. The changes may be suggested in the meetings with the project coordinator and in coordination meetings.
Volunteers will have time to carry out a personal project, as well as our total support to carry it out.

Profile of the volunteer(s) and selection process:

Dynamic, creative person with initiatives. Volunteers will be part of our team. Therefore, we expect them to suggest new activities of their interest.
As they will have to deal with a lot of people, we expect them to be able to communicate and relate with others.
Participation in youth activities or member of youth organisation is an asset. Previous experience will be enriching for us and volunteers will be able to enjoy the project better.
At the beginning, Spanish skills are not a must. But they will have to be able to communicate in a couple of months so they can participate in more activities.
After receiving all applications, we will vote the people who best adjust to the project.
