Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will share the flat together with other volunteers. The house has 5 bedrooms, kitchen with living room, 3 bathrooms and 2 additional toilets, garden and free-time room. Long term volunteers have their own rooms but it can happen that they need to share their bedroom with another volunteer during the periods when we host short term volunteers (for example in April + May and in July + August 2026) The volunteers get 7 EUR per day for the food and 5 EUR per day pocket money. Long term volunteers also get a free bus and train card for unlimited travelling in Slovenia.

The volunteers are invited to on-arrival and mid-term trainings, organised by Slovene NA. Zavod Manipura offers workshops and individual support for the volunteers.
