Collective Aid is a small grassroots with a humble budget. Our teams share a volunteer house where Programmes Managers have their own room but the rest of the team share bedrooms with other staff members. However, the common spaces of our houses are big enough to host our teams and make it comfortable for everyone living there for a long time.
Serbia and Bosnia&Herzegovina: We work from our office, which is attached to our warehouse space, where all the work happens.
Greece: we have an office within the community space we operate in. It is a shared space with other organizations but it is available most of the time. The area where we work is shared by several organizations and it is a highly interassociational space.
Calais: the team works in an office within the community center we run. It is allowed to work from home or from cafes once or twice a week if needed. - Nivel Académico: Licenciatura o Grado (C5-8)
