Resumo: Our organization is an international organisation, located in the European heart of Belgium. As a consequence, all voluntary activities will take place within a range of 1 kilometer from the European institutions.

On the level of cultural and sports-activities as well as on the level of restaurants and pubs, Belgium offers a lot of different possibilities to spend an interesting and pleasant time.

The housing of the volunteer will be arranged in close collaboration with the volunteer. Together with him/her, we will search for a room or a studio in one of the (international) students areas of Brussels.
