Brussels and life in JADE HQ‌
Working and living in JADE House During the term of service (1st August 2013 – 31st July 2014), the elected members move to JADE HQ in Brussels, Belgium,. JADE HQ has one floor with offices and the rest of the floors are set up for living (bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen etc.). During the stay in JADE HQ, the Team members have to share the space with each other. as well as with guests from the Network. The work of JADE Team is voluntary, so unpaid. However, the Team members pay a daily contribution for accommodation and utilities in JADE HQ, daily food, fees and transport to attend international and national events. The amount though depends on the budget that can vary from year to year. As the hierarchy is quite flat team members might get deep insights into JADE organisation.
Working and living in Brussels Brussels is an old European city with lovely parks and secret little streets. You can find a wide variety of cultural activities and many international people. The HQ in Brussels, the capital of Europe, helps JADE to be closer to the European Institutions and some other international Headquarters of companies, which support our Network. The geographic location makes travelling around Europe really easy.
