During the first weeks the volunteers will be involved in a cultural adaptation time supposed to make their arrival and integration in the local community and in their tasks in the projects easier. The two first October weeks will take place this cultural adaptation. They will get a “Welcome Pack” containing all the documents and information to have a Basic knowledge about how to manage in Madrid, in order to make the first time in Madrid easier and helping them to get used to the city.

After this adaptation period, begins the activity!

First of all they will start with the Spanish lessons, what we intend to be intensive the first month and not so intensive when they know a bit more of the language. The Spanish lessons will be combined with the other daily activities of the centre.
