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.
