You will support adapted activities and meaningful interactions to help children grow happily despite their challenges. You will collaborate with professional teams to create original games and adapted crafts, and assist in different therapy sessions to provide sensory and emotional stimulation. Barcelona’s inspiring environment supports this demanding yet deeply rewarding program — and you will not be the same after this experience.

Activities & Shift


A typical day for our volunteers kicks off at 7:30 am as they gather in the NGO accommodations. The day starts with a self-prepared morning snack of coffee and fruit, fostering a cozy and communal atmosphere reminiscent of home.
At 08:15 am volunteers You’ll make your way through Barcelona to the care center, where the babies and children you’ll support are waiting for you on this meaningful journey of learning and care until 5:00 pm. Along the way and throughout the experience, you’ll have the support of a coach and/or psychologist, always there if you need guidance or a safe space to talk.
