Resumo: The Organization is a central service of the University working in the frame of the Student and Professional Integration Department which assists and supports the university community in the social, disability and volunteering fields.

The volunteering unit, responsible for the EVS, has the aim of promoting university volunteering and solidarity initiatives, motivating the comprehensive participation in the different activities created through the programme or in coordination with other entities and related social networks.

Volunteers will live in the city, in a shared flat, respecting the rules agreed with the other mates, always respecting the rest of the neighbours. The organization will look for accommodation and guarantees appropriate living conditions and the fulfilment of legal conditions regulating renting contracts.

It is a university town, known world-wide for it. It hosts the oldest active university in Europe, founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX of Leon and the first one in Europe with the title of University, by the edict of 1253 of Alfonso X of Castille and Leon and the Bull of Pope Alexander IV in 1255.

The city was declared World Cultural Heritage in 1988 by the UNESCO. In 2001 it was European Capital of Culture and, since 2005, hosts the annual International Arts Festival of Castille and Leon. Currently, it is an important international reference for Spanish teaching, as it gathers 78% of the supply in Castille and Leon and 16% in Spain.

It is also well known for its architectural heritage and artistic richness: cathedrals, palaces, churches ... of architectural styles such as Romanesque, Gothic, Plateresque and Baroque.

Location: at the river side of the Tormes. Surface area: 12,336 km2. Inhabitants: 160,000. It is one of the 9 provinces in Castille and Leon. It borders at the North with Zamora and Valladolid, at the South with Caceres, at the East with Avila and at the West with Portugal.

Despite its extreme climate (cold winters and hot summers) is an attractive city for its visitors. There are many activities related to tourism and leisure. The Service Sector is its main economic force.

Volunteers may suggest actions to carry out within the project and we will enable the resources to carry them out, within our possibilities.

Participation: approx. 6 h/day, from Mo- Fr., generally in the morning, though, punctually, in the afternoon and, very exceptionally, on weekends. In the latter cases, volunteers will be advised with time.

They will receive language training in the official school of language or at the University.

Holidays: 2 days/month of participation Holidays may be during academic holidays.

Voluntary activities will never be job-substitution. The activities will always be carried out under supervision of the technical team of the organization.

Volunteers tasks exclude those of support to other EVS granted projects, that is, they will not be responsible for the management of a project, recruitment or training of other EVS volunteers.
