ORGANISATION DESCRIPTION
Omnis Factum Associação is a youth non-profit organisation established in 2010 in Montijo, Portugal.
Our mission is to involve young people in their communities, promote active youth participation and contribute to building a more equal, inclusive and fair society.
Our main areas of activity include youth participation, social inclusion, sustainability and environmental empowerment, non-formal education, volunteering, international mobility and European cooperation.
Omnis Factum works with young people, local communities, public institutions, schools, NGOs and international partners, developing projects and activities that promote personal development, social inclusion, participation, intercultural learning and active citizenship.
The organisation has experience in European cooperation and international mobility projects and works with a network of local and international partners to provide meaningful learning, volunteering and professional experiences for young people.
Omnis Factum is particularly interested in developing sustainable transnational partnerships within the ALMA initiative and in supporting young people in accessing meaningful international work-related experiences.
RECEIVING ORGANISATION
a. Are you currently participating in an ALMA call funded by an ESF+ ALMA-type programme or other funds?
Yes.
Omnis Factum is currently hosting participants undertaking work placements within ALMA projects promoted by the Government of Andalusia.
This ongoing experience has provided our organisation with valuable practical experience in organising and supporting transnational mobility, including accommodation, work-placement coordination, participant support, local integration, cultural activities, monitoring and communication with sending organisations.
b. Target group(s) we are able to host
Omnis Factum is able to host young people participating in ALMA-type mobility programmes, particularly young people who:
Are not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET);
Have limited or no previous work experience;
Have fewer opportunities;
Need support to develop professional, social and employability skills;
Would benefit from their first international work experience;
Would benefit from intercultural learning and personal development;
Need structured mentoring and support during their mobility.
We are able to adapt work placements and support arrangements according to the individual profile, professional interests, skills and learning objectives of each participant.
c. Framework conditions for hosting during work-related experience
Omnis Factum can coordinate and support international participants throughout their mobility in Portugal.
We can provide or coordinate:
Accommodation
Participants can be accommodated in suitable shared accommodation, depending on availability and the specific requirements of each project.

We can identify and coordinate suitable local organisations and companies according to participants’ professional interests, profiles, skills and learning objectives.
Potential work-placement areas include:

Accessibility and individual needs
Specific accessibility requirements and individual support needs are discussed in advance so that suitable arrangements can be identified with the relevant host organisations and service providers.
d. Possible activities and support services offered
Work-placement identification and coordination
We identify suitable local host organisations according to participants’ professional interests, qualifications, experience and learning objectives.
We support communication with host organisations before and during the mobility and coordinate the practical arrangements related to the work placement.
Mentoring and participant support
Participants receive ongoing support throughout their mobility, including assistance with practical, organisational and integration-related matters.
We maintain regular communication with participants and the sending organisation and can intervene whenever support or clarification is required.
Accommodation support
We coordinate accommodation arrangements and provide participants with information regarding the accommodation, facilities and practical conditions before arrival.
Local integration
We help participants become familiar with the local environment, public transport system, local services and everyday life in Portugal.

We can organise or facilitate cultural visits, social activities and opportunities for participants to discover the local area and Portuguese culture.

e. Availability for hosting groups
Omnis Factum is available and interested in hosting international groups within the framework of ALMA and similar European mobility programmes.
Availability period: 2027–2029
Group capacity: Up to 20 participants per group.
The final number of participants that can be hosted simultaneously will depend on the timing of the mobility, availability of suitable work placements, accommodation capacity and the individual profiles and support needs of the participants.
We are particularly interested in establishing long-term cooperation with organisations implementing ALMA mobility programmes.
f. Restrictions / additional comments regarding hosting groups
The availability of work placements and accommodation should be confirmed in advance for each mobility period.
The final hosting capacity depends on:
The duration and timing of the mobility;
Participants’ professional profiles and areas of interest;
Availability of suitable work-placement organisations;

Specific support and accessibility requirements.
We therefore recommend planning each mobility sufficiently in advance to ensure that suitable work placements and accommodation can be secured.
