Working and living in the JADE House During the time you will work as part of JADE Team, you may 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 other people,

who also work and live there (Brazilian Ambassadors or Executive Board), as well as with guests from the Network.

The work of JADE Team is voluntary, so team members do not have to pay from their personal money for accommodation and utilities in JADE HQ. The daily food is ensured for only 2 euro per day.

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.

If you want to take the dive and live an international experience in the capital of Europe or from home, by doing what you like with other Junior Entrepreneurs like you, apply today for our program!

Because this experience can count as an internship, there are also possible ways of financing your experience in Brussels and we can provide you with a recommendation letter to help you apply for different grants though it does not guarantee your election.

You can apply for an Erasmus+Student Mobility or Erasmus+Key Action 1 to finance your stay in Brussels! Please find more information here: Remember that living in the JADE HQ is paid for and you will have to pay only 2 euro per day for food.

Testimonials t My greatest memory as Project Manager for JADE is the amazing team I worked with. There were great challenges during the year, I was pushed to exceed what I thought were my limits, but I never felt demotivated. And this was because I always knew I could count on the members of the team as colleagues and friends.

In the hardest times you build lifetime relationships, that's the best part of JADE. Florentina Anghel, JADE Italy To work remotely means that you need a frequently exchange. The speciality about JADE is that they are totally transparent in their work and totally open minded for every idea. To work for JADE does not mean that you will only work from your home office you also get invited to the HQ in Brussels to experience the great JADE spirit.
