Work organisation, tasks
Work schedule is usually between Tuesday-Saturday (sometimes, we can decide to work on a Sunday/ Monday and take a free day later during the week) and we do not have fixed working hours.
Each trainee is supported by a mentor – a person that will help you to structure your ideas, so you can together develop a plan for your internship.
Holidays
As long as you are able to meaningfully and responsibly fulfil your tasks, there is no specified maximum period of holidays. If you plan to take days off, it is important that you coordinate them with your schedule (ongoing projects you are involved in) and that the team has enough people to cover the canteen shifts.
Accommodation + food
Finding the place to stay will be your responsibility, but we will do our best to support you in the process! Please consider the fact that rents in Porto are gradually becoming very inaccessible. Here is some basic
info:
– Average price for a room: 350-400 eur with bills included, although you can find cheaper options.
– Starting to search 3-6 months in advance can improve the situation a lot (although many renters don’t accept renting with a big advance).
Main objectives include:
– broadening the perspective on human and animal rights
– promoting ethical consumerism, collectivism, solidarity actions
– bringing awareness to different ecological and social issues
– supporting local (first) and international (second) artists, craftspeople, small producers and projects
– promoting cultural exchange, re/upcycling, money-free exchange, etc
Timing:
The dates of your internship are flexible (up to you 🙂 ) and the minimum period is 3 months.
Funding:
Unfortunately, we are not able at the moment to fund internships, for this reason, we need to count on external financing.
For example, Erasmus+ offers a grant program that is available for students or recent graduates (up to a year after graduation) residing in the EU (regardless of nationality). The application process for an Erasmus grant depends on the particular university, but is usually easy and fast.
The grants are usually 350-700 eur/ month and are available for 2-12 months (depending on the country and university). For the precise info – ask the International Office of your university. Casa da Horta will be, of course, happy to help you in the process.
