On this page, we will post the daily calendar of activities so that participants can calculate the
time needed to travel from their hotel to the appointed activities during the day. It also contains
other valuable information regarding the logisticsof the project.
Departure from Barcelona
The group will be picked up from the Hotel Travessera three (3) hours prior to your flight to Bulgaria on July 30th.
A dedicated transport has been arranged for transfers to the hotel where the group is accommodated:
Hotel Travessera
Address: Travessera de Dalt 121-123, 08024, Barcelona
Tel: +34 93 213 24 54 Fax: +34 93 213 27 12

The project offers half pension (breakfast and dinner). Each participant is responsible for purchasing
his or her own lunch each day.
Local transportation:
Each participant received a T-Mes pass, valid for 30 days of unlimited travel throughout the Barcelona
metropolitan area within Zone 1. Your transportation pass is valid on any public transportation – bus, metro,
tram or local trains with the exception of the following: Tibidabo mountain rail, Tibidabo blue tram, bus
touristic and the sky rail across the harbour, the Tibibus to Tibidabo amusement park, the Aerobus to the
airport, or the Telefèric de Montjuïc cable car. Please familiarize yourself with the public transportation
systems available for the metropolitan area, as it will be important to calculate travel times and distances
during your stay.

Emergency contacts - 24 horas:

General Emergencies: 112
Medical Emergencies: 061
Fire: 080
Guardia Urbana (local police): 092
Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) for general emergencies or traffic accidents: 088
For medical emergencies, call the BWO and she will indicate a nearby facility for healthcare services.
If you are not a citizen of the EEU or EEC, you must bring a health insurance policy to cover illness and accidents. Likewise, all
medications need to be paid for by the programme participant. You will find a local pharmacy very close to your accommodations
or place of work. There are hundreds of pharmacies in Barcelona, and we have in place a 24-hour system where there is always a
pharmacy in every neighbourhood on call.For those students undertaking a placement during this project, the school will provide
a Civil Liability Insurance coverage, as students are not permitted on a host company's property for training unless this coverage
is in place.
During their stay in Spain, we advise programme participants to be careful and look after their personal possessions (e.g. credit card,
passport). It is best not to carry a lot of money and travellers cheques. It would be a good idea to keep a record and photocopy of
information about passports or National Identification Documents and also of credit cards. We advise them to keep these at their
accommodations in case the originals are lost or stolen. The photocopies will be of help if they need to report any stolen documents.
Although Barcelona is one of the safest cosmopolitan cities in Europe, better to exert caution. The local police -- Mossos de Escuadra --
are the most wonderful resource we have for safety. But please beware of avoiding potentially unsafe situations: do not travel alone
after dark, especially in the “Raval” sector of town. Never surrender your personal property to persons posing as police officers. And
be vigilent of pickpockets, especially in the heavily congested tourist areas such as Las Ramblas or metro stations.
Bringing a laptop is required for participation in this project, but please leave your valuables and jewlery at home, as we cannot be
responsible for loss of personal property. The beneficiary will be responsible for submitting a police report for theft and will be expected
to go the police station unaccompanied to fill out the paperwork, which can last up to 3 hours, outside work hours.
Even though you are not coming from the United Kingdom, it is advisable to refer to the ongoing travel safety campaign operated by the
UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). It encourages British nationals to be better prepared for their overseas trips with a view
to avoiding common travelling traumas, risks and dangers. We strongly advise that you visit the Know Before You Go website (http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-living-overseas/) to learn more about general travel safety advice and information specific
to your destination. Alternatively, you can call+44 0845 850 2829.
Below are some general safety tips that should help you avoid any unpleasant situations:
• If travelling alone, do not advertise it. Normally you can trust people with this information but, when in doubt, say you’re with
friends or a tour group.
• Be careful about giving the name of your accommodation to strangers. When you meet someone you’d like to see again, arrange
a public place to meet.
• Before you go out with a new friend, get some information about him or her. Leave this information with another member of your
group, or just leave it in your room. Your instincts should tell you if this person is safe, but leave evidence in case your instincts are
wrong.
• Ask if it’s safe to use public transportation after dark.and try to walk on well-lit streets with other people around.
• When you are out and about, be alert, not fearful, and not caught up in daydreams. Be aware of your surroundings and the people
around you.
Remember that people have been travelling internationally forever and the vast majority of international travel experiences are exceptionally
rewarding and problem-free. Remember to use your common sense, err on the side of caution, and if in doubt, seek advice.

PLEASE NOTE - We discourage students from travelling alone in the city.
Therefore, if someone becomes ill, we ask that one of the tutors of the group
attend to the student in the classroom or at his/her placement. It is not fair to
ask student peers to miss class or work to have to accompany a student.

REMEMBER - T-Mes transportation passes belong to a single person.
They are not transferable and cannot be shared. They are very expensive,
too. If you lose your pass or if it is stolen, you will be responsible for
purchasing a new pass.
REMEMBER - Bring the European Health Card along with your passport. If you don´t have
a health card, bring instead the insurance policy purchased for you by NSFB. It is advisable
to photocopy all important documents such as these to keep with your luggage.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DRINKING ALCOHOL, or at least limit
your alcohol intake, especially if you are underaged. At public places, NEVER
leave ANY drink unattended.
