Accommodation
The venue “InOut Hostel” is located on the hill of Collserola. Collserola is Barcelona’s natural park, making it the lung of the metropolitan area. Due to being surrounded by the forest, you will be able to enjoy the Mediterranean flora and fauna, especially the wild boars, which are the most emblematic inhabitants of the area. This wonderful location is ideal for walks, hikes or morning/ evening running, as well as being just 15 minutes by train from the centre of Barcelona.
Depending on your room, you may have private or common bathroom, i.e. personal hygiene facilities. All rooms are separated by modules. Participants will have access to common areas with WIFI, fridge, microwave, and an outdoor sports ground. All meals will be served in the venue restaurant – unless indicated otherwise. We will let you know more in detail 2 weeks before the seminar.

The reimbursement is conditioned to active and full participation in the programme. We highly recommend travelling by land, using bus/train if possible. This recommendation has 2 aspects: Ecological and Health. In Spain visitors coming by flight face more severe restrictions than those coming by land.
As for bus, we recommend FlixBus: https://global.flixbus.com/
If possible, travel together with a participant from your country (come in the same plane, bus, train which will make our and your organisation much easier).
Please consult with us about your travel plan in advance and do not buy the tickets without previous confirmation from our side.
NOTE: Please arrange your travel plan in advance and book economy class tickets and the cheapest route possible to get to the project venue and back home. Taxi costs or other transport methods different from public transportation are not eligible costs.
FINANCIAL ASPECTS
Gamestorming: Gamification in Youth Information is funded by Erasmus+. We have chosen a standard quality accommodation and meals, the same that we would be offering to our friends and family. As a reminder, the focus of this event is strictly educational, so do not expect a stay in a 5* hotel. 3 Meals per day, refreshments, accommodation, and a full learning programme are covered. Please do not worry, you will get all the necessary. Later on we will send you a form to know about your dietary needs, so you can find us ready.
COVID-19 MEASURES
We strongly recommend that the participants be fully vaccinated, as the vaccination certificate exempts the travelers from COVID-19 testing before travelling to Spain and going back home. The fee of COVID-19 testing will be incumbent on the participants and not subject to reimbursement. We may arrange testing from a laboratory, in case somebody need it. If a participant turns COVID-19 positive in the testing occurring before the arrival to Spain, we commit to fully reimburse his/her travel expenses, given the provision of a positive verifiable certificate. Participants also need to fully respect the health protocol imposed by the authorities at the time of the seminar, the safety measures that apply to group events. These measures are subject to fast changes, however, we commit to communicating them with you 2 weeks prior to the seminar. Please count on wearing masks, keeping distance, and washing hands regularly.
INSURANCE
The hosting organization does not cover travel and health insurance. European Health Card is mandatory. Each participant shall have a valid health insurance and it is strongly recommended to have a travel insurance during participation in the seminar.
