The apartments will be rented for the entire time of volunteers’ mobilities and are equipped with all necessary utilities. In Warsaw volunteers will live in 2 apartments, each will be shared by up to 6-8 volunteers. Each volunteer will get the amount of 6 € per day, so about 180€ (in a Polish currency) per month.

The Schuman Foundation will reimburse the costs of visa (if appear).
