All our activities pursue our aim: provide information and counselling to young people according to the following principles:” Promote intercultural dialogue and favour understanding of foreign cultures.” Educate young people towards an active European citizenship.” Support any cultural, educative and/or artistic expression based on the previous values.” Promote the social construction of EuropeOur activities include:

1. Youth information

Our members include people who have participated in different programmes: EVS, Leonardo, Erasmus and we want to offer other young people such chances.

2. Employment for graduates:

Counselling and Information. Our aim is to support, inform and guide graduates so they continue their qualifications and access the working market.We are specialised in employment information and guidance in Europe, especially in the UK. There is a high demand in this sense, often not covered. There are many grants and traineeships, unknown for students. We believe that paying an agency is not the only way of travelling abroad…

For Asociación Building Bridges there is a very important concept we like to agree on with the volunteer: we like to host him/her in the organisation considered as a whole entity, this means we expect also the volunteer being flexible if requested in more than one service or activity. He/she will mainly work on a specific area and service he/she expressed preference for but, at the same time if needed, for example during summer time or for specific events, situations or needs, we would like to count on the volunteer support also in other kind of services, of course, after having explained and agreed on with the volunteer on our request to try to find a good compromise. In this way we think we can offer also a more complete experience to the volunteer.

The volunteer will volunteer in one or more of the following educational services to support through their active participation our professional trainers to offer more opportunities on our websites:

Create social, cultural, sports and community activities communication posts in our webpages to local groups, living in Madrid and as well in the surrounding municipalities, and to Asociación Building Bridges’s centers for adult, young people and children.
