From Spain

ENG: consortia.es (Nepres Nature XXI Group) is an organization based in Seville, Spain, created in 2006 by a group of experienced European Programmes Management technicians. We offer guidance to the actions of companies, governmental entities, education centres, non-profit organizations and volunteering organizations from EU. countries who are interested in developing an European project.
Our daily activity is focused on the promotion and management of projects framed in four different activity areas:

1. European Programmes: Lifelong Learning Programme, Youth in Action Programme and Culture Programme, acting as coordinating, sending and hosting partner.

2. Language courses: Our language school offers different levels of Spanish courses to the students and professionals who come to Andalucía to study the Spanish language and to improve their professional competences.

3. Volunteering: We develop international volunteering projects (EVS), National Work camps and Social Dialogue events, such as the Annual Volunteering Fair in Seville.

4. Envinronment & Sustainable Development

These are the spanish participants:

· I'm Dani, I’m 20 years old. I'm from Arahal, a town of Seville. I'm studying Geography and LandMmanagement at the University of Seville. In this exchange I would like to get a global vision of cultural diversity in Europe.

· Hello! My name is Cristina, I am 21 and I am from Arahal. I decided to go to Portugal because I want to have a good experience living with other people from other countries.

· Hello! My name is Clara, I'm from Arahal in Seville. I am currently studying Industrial Relations and Human Resources at the University of Seville. I'm in this exchange to meet other people and their cultures, interacting with other Europeans. My fear I have is to share private space with people who don’t speak my language and I don’t know if we could understand each other… But I’ll try to bring an open mind and desire to have fun!

· My name is Ana and I’m from Cádiz (Andalusia). I would like to participate in this cultural event in order to gain both personal and professional experience. I am very interested in meeting people from different countries as I think they can help me to know their culture as well as give me new ideas. I also hope to share my own ideas about the topic of the meeting with people from different cultures as well as give them information about my culture.

· My name is José Manuel Pastor Bermúdez and I´m 20 years old. I´m form Arahal, a little city near Seville, my Spanish mates come from there too. I live in a house with my mother, my brother and my sister. At the moment I´m an architecture student in the Universidad de Sevilla, and the next year I´m going to do my fourth course there. Going to “Put on your walking shoes... and take the next step” in Setubal I hope to meet a lot of people, who are coming from many different countries. I´d like to learn how are they, what do they think about environment, ecological things, for example, cities, food… and, where are we going to with all of the ambient science, of course. Finally, I know that sounds incredible, but I want to go to Portugal because I´ve never been there and I´d like to know how is our neighbor country.
