Sansusī is an organisation focused on culture and arts field that manages mobility opportunities for young people and promotes volunteering, values-based education, intercultural learning and non-formal education in the local community.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements:
During your ESC project, your accommodation, food, transport is fully covered by the program. The plan is that, most of the time, you will live in our artist residence center Suseja (3km from Aknist, 150 km from Riga). Around 2 times per month you might travel to Riga to volunteer there or meet the rest of the Sansusī team. You will have either an individual or shared bedroom with another volunteer. It might sometimes be packed due to festivals or other bigger events in the residence center. We encourage green travel, sustainable & vegan meals and cooking together whenever possible.
There is a budget to reimburse the travel of the volunteers depending on the distance of their place of residence, calculated with the Erasmus Distance Calculator.
