How to arrive?
You should search for the most economic flight or bus to project place from your hometown. Please contact us before buying your ticket for confirmation. We will share detailed info for getting to the Hotel on the
Facebook group of the project.
Maximum reimbursement per person (Spain): 360EUR
IF YOUR TICKET PRICE IS OVER THAN MAXIMUM AMOUNT, then you can make maximum money. But if it is lower than maximum money, then you’ll receive your expenses. The rest of it will be used by us for the materials to be used in the project.
Example1: For your country, the maximum money(limit) is 200 Euros. Your ticket price is 150 Euros. We pay 150 Euros to you and the other 50 Euros will be used.
Example2: For your country, the maximum money(limit) is 200 Euros. Your ticket price is 250 Euros. We pay 200 Euros (maximum limit for you)
Once selected you will have to declare:
I acknowledge that I understood that I will take money back as I have spent for my travel and I have presented bills and tickets. I agree that the difference between the travel money which I spent and travel grant of the project can be used for the project’s other expenses or anything else by project organizers. I understood every detail about this topic.
1. We will notify you about the Hotel with all details in the Facebook group of the project.
2. Our hostels are set 3 days before the project date and no change is made. Hostels often do not have air conditioning, and the concept of hostels are all the same all over the world. In addition, there will most probably be no personal items such as towels, toothbrushes, sheets, so you should bring these items with you. In our projects, in both youth exchanges and training courses, accommodation is made in the style of camping. Moreover, some projects can be implemented in camping areas in bungalow houses. Participants should take this into account, and come to our project knowing that in order not to have disappointments. And, accommodation places are not open to evaluation.
3. In addition, participants, organizers, and leaders who do not want to stay in hostels arranged by the organizer can stay in other hotels, provided that they cover their own accommodation fees. The important thing is to fully participate in the events. Otherwise, their participation will be cancelled.
4. If you give any damage to the room or to the items, you have to pay for the expenses.
5. In some projects you may have to stay with people up to 8 in the same room. It is usually 4 or 5 participants in one room but this may change according to accommodation place.
6. We do not have coffee breaks, fruits, cookies, etc… in our project. While you are coming to the project, you should approve this.
7. If the water cannot be drunk from the fountain, we will provide it. Otherwise, it will be drunk from the fountain.
8. The food menu may vary according to the country where the project
takes place and the culture of the country. We do our best to the extent
of the people.
9. If the participants do not like the food, they can eat elsewhere,
provided that they pay it themselves.

CONDICIONES DE PARTICIPACIÓN
Por favor lee cuidadosamente las condiciones de participación en el proyecto.
Coronavirus
Cómo bien sabéis nos enfrentamos a una situación inédita en los últimos 100 años, una pandemia mundial. Desde Somos Europa, en el caso de que seáis seleccionados para participar en alguno de nuestros programas, os animamos a que toméis todas las precauciones posibles, uso de mascarilla,geles hidroalcohólicos, respeto de la distancia social, contratación de seguros de cancelación de viaje por coronavirus etc… Sin embargo no podéis olvidar que nuestra función es la de promocionar el intercambio, seleccionar a los participantes del grupo español y darles apoyo durante y después del mismo. Por tanto, debereís entender y aceptar que no podemos asumir más responsabilidades de las que nos corresponden, que viajar en estas circunstancias supone un riesgo, pero un riesgo que debe asumir el participante, no nuestra organización:
Si la compañía aérea cancela los vuelos, deberéis ser vosotros los que mediéis con la compañía aérea para el reembolso de los billetes cancelados. En caso de que la compañía aérea no respondiera de sus obligaciones, será su exclusiva responsabilidad, por parte de Somos Europa lo único que podemos hacer será dar parte a la comisión europea para ver si ella puede hacerse cargo, aplicando el principio de «Fuerza Mayor», de los posibles desajustes entre lo gastado y lo reembolsado.
Si cualquiera de los gobiernos involucrados cierra fronteras u os obliga a realizar un periodo de cuarentena, la responsabilidad de que podáis volver recaerá en el gobierno actor y/o en los servicios diplomáticos nacionales.
También deberéis ser flexibles en el caso de que por motivos relacionados con el COVID-19 las fechas del intercambio sufriesen alguna variación.
En el caso de que durante el proyecto no se estuviesen cumpliendo adecuadamente las medidas de seguridad higiénico-sanitaria os pedimos que nos lo hagáis saber para poder exigir responsabilidades a la organización de acogida.
Os pedimos máxima responsabilidad durante el intercambio, sobre todo a la hora de relacionaros con ciudadanos locales, así como una actitud de máxima sensatez a la hora de volver a casa.
Compromiso
Es la Entidad Organizadora, la organización del país de destino, la responsable del reembolso del dinero de transporte. El participante es responsable de guardar y presentar el ticket y factura de cada gasto que quiera que se le reembolse. Somos Europa tratará de Mediar en caso de conflicto, pero la última decisión residirá en la entidad organizadora, sin que Somos Europa incurra en Responsabilidad de ningún tipo.
Los participantes son los únicos responsables de las actividades previas y posteriores que el proyecto requiera. Somos Europa tratará en la medida de lo posible de guiar a los participantes en su consecución, no obstante lo hará fuera de sus competencias y sin olvidar que es una responsabilidad de los participantes y que dicha responsabilidad forma parte del proceso educativo.
Al aceptar estas condiciones acepta el uso de su imagen a traves de las fotografías u otros contenidos audiovisuales tomados durante su pertenencia a Somos Europa con fines de difusión en cualquier formato que Somos Europa estime oportuno.

Gestión de transporte
Son los participantes los que tienen que comprar los vuelos (previa consulta con Somos Europa), así como organizarse el viaje. Al principio esto puede parecer complicado (sobre todo para los que no han tenido una experiencia previa), nosotros trataremos una vez más de guiaros, pero es vuestra responsabilidad y estamos seguros de que asumirla os ayudará a aprender y mejorar. Además no os olvidéis, nos somos una agencia de viajes.
Los participantes deberán leer todos los documentos que se les entregue y actuar consecuentemente con respecto a ellos.
El programa erasmus no reembolsa billetes con embarque prioritario. Los costes derivados de condiciones especiales que no estén previamente justificadas y aprobadas tampoco serán reembolsados.

Gastos Subvencionables
Cuota de Asociación
Para poder participar en nuestras actividades deberéis asociaros a Somos Europa abonando la cuota de socio equivalente a 8 meses (80 euros). Durante dicho periodo podréis participar en las actividades de la organización, recibir asesoramiento para otros programas ofertados por nuestra entidad, etc…
Con esta cuota financiamos nuestra labor social así como todos los gastos derivados de la gestión de nuestros programas, pagamos los gastos corrientes de la asociación (Telefonía, cartelería, impresión, promoción etc…), nos dotamos de equipamiento (cámara de video, proyector, equipo informático), así como tratamos que nuestros técnicos cuando realizan un trabajo profesional tengan unas condiciones laborales de calidad. Durante ese periodo podréis participar en otros proyectos sin coste alguno (siempre que paséis el proceso de selección para dicha actividad) entendiendo que las plazas son limitadas y deben llegar al mayor número posible de jóvenes y que la gente que ya ha vivido la experiencia como participante, debe asumir nuevos roles y responsabilidades, bien yendo como team leader, participando en actividades que requieran experiencia previa o participando en programas de larga duración.
Una vez abonada la cuota de membresía no se podrá reclamar su devolución.
Asistencia al proyecto
Los participantes previa confirmación por parte de la asociación organizadora podrán llegar o irse unos días antes al país de destino por razones de vuelo o porque quieran hacer turismo, no obstante los gastos de alojamiento y comidas de esos días correrán a cargo de los participantes.
La cuota de Socio no es reembolsable en caso de NO asistencia al proyecto.

Datos básicos y CV (Cumplimentado a través de esta web)
La subvención cubre alojamiento, manutención y transporte hasta el lugar del voluntariado, por lo que el gasto que vas a tener que pagar va a ser mínimo.
El transporte hay que abonarlo inicialmente y una vez finalizado el proyecto, si hemos asistido al proyecto y una vez entregemos los tickets y facturas a la organización del país al que vamos, se nos realizará la devolución del lo gastado en transportes hasta el límite establecido.
En caso de aprovechar el viaje al país de realización de la actividad y llegar antes o volver después, tu estancia en el país de destino correrá de tu cuenta.
Además habrá que pagar la cuota de socio correspondiente
¿Porqué tengo que pagar la cuota de Somos Europa? Somos Europa cobra una cuota de asociación para poder gestionar futuros proyectos y mantener las actividades de la asociación. Somos Europa es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro, por lo que todo lo que pagas a la asociación se revierte en generar mas actividades. Además Somos Europa pone a tu disposición diferentes espacios y actividades para que puedas participar y mejorar tu internacionalización y todo lo que ello conlleva.
Si, al finalizar el proyecto recibirás un certificado llamado Youthpass emitido por la Comisión Europea que refleja los días y las actividades que has realizado, el idioma en el que se han realizado las actividades y los talleres a los que has asistido. Es un certificado que podrás usar para tu CV.
Sí, aunque los itinerarios y viajes los tienes que establecer tu, y en general la gestión del viaje; que es un aprendizaje más de como gestionar un proyecto, desde Somos Europa podemos resolver cualquier duda que te surja con el proyecto.
Puedes escribirnos a través de esta página web y estaremos encantados de atenderte. Lee previamente toda la información contenida en la web antes, ya que muchas veces las preguntas que nos surgen ya están respondidas.
