Description: The Solidarity Economy Fair of Catalonia is the time of the year when all the entities in the field are grouped in the same space and they debate on the role of a different type of economy in Catalonia. At the same time, it means an extra workload. This is an opportunity for a good exchange between people interested in the movement of alternative economies and those who can lend a hand in the assembly and sustainment of the XI FESC.

Type of Work: The volunteers' tasks will consist of supporting the logistics of the Solidarity Economy Fair of Catalonia. For example: the preparation of the material, the assembly of the space, the distribution of materials and the disassembly of the Fair, among others.

Accommodation: All of the participants will be accommodated in a volunteers' flat in the centre of Barcelona. The apartment has multiple rooms with bunk beds, multiple toilets, a kitchen and a common area.

Approximate Location: Barcelona, Catalonia
