Spain: Research in Education and Global Solidarity Internship

  Spain

• Barcelona: 
Barcelona

Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: Jun 13- Jul 31, 2010

Description: You'll be based in Barcelona city center, close to the many cultural and entertainment activities for which this city is justly famous. Our staff will pick you up at Barcelona Prat International Airport and take you to your accommodation.

The first week will include an in-depth orientation covering local business etiquette, health and safety, cultural norms, and even a crash course in Spanish. After a week of intensive orientation, you will work full-time at your internship for the next six weeks. During that time, we'll go on a couple of excursions, learn more about the issues facing Barcelona, connect with social innovators, and build new friendships.

Barcelona is convenient to many European destinations and Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt are only a short flight away. Excellent rail and air connections means a weekend is enough time to get away and experience somewhere new. But never forget Spain is extremely diverse and that a trip to Madrid, Seville or Galicia can feel like 'leaving the country'.

As a group, we'll take two weekend excursions, one to Spain's Costa Brava or "Wild Coast". By day you will enjoy exploring the Costa Brava's quaint fishing villages and medieval towns that hug beautiful beaches and turquoise waters. The second excursion will be to the quaint, ocean side town of Tarragona, a traditional wine producing region and home to the Roman ruins of Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our group excursions will be unique and memorable.
