Advocacy and Policy Volunteer
FEDERACION ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK ESPAÑA
Erasmus Student Network Spain (ESN Spain)

Description
This volunteer activity will focus on improving the conditions of the different international mobility programmes, mainly the European ones, based on advocacy campaigns. In order to do that, you will track the policies at local, national and European level related to mobility programmes, collaborate in position papers, gather information on those programmes for young people, etc. You will work closely with the President and the Director of ESN Spain. During the volunteering period, you will learn how to set objectives and goals, decide which advocacy tool is better for achieving those goals, how the decision-making process works, etc
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in a shared flat together with another ESC volunteer that ESN Spain will look for near the ESN Spain’s office. A monthly stipend will be provided in order to cover meals and local transportation of the volunteers. Pocket money will also be provided. All travel costs of the trip coming to Madrid and going back home are covered. PCRs will also be covered should volunteers need them for going/coming back home.
Training during the activity
You will receive training about advocacy, education policy and European mobility programmes during all your volunteer experience based on your previous knowledge. In addition, you will take part in the two main capacity building events of ESN Spain, where you will learn both hard and soft skills in different fields such as internationalization of education, inclusion, social impact, human resources, etc. You will also have the opportunity to meet other volunteers from ESN Spain and exchange your experiences.
