About the project

ESC: Activity leader Assistant - Environmental Education

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

EKIKROK is an organisation that raises awareness about healthy and sustainable food and nature. It reaches out to a wide range of people: children, adults and people with vulnerabilities. To carry out its projects, it has two locations in the heart of a village.Your main task will be to : - Accompany and assist leaders in their awareness-raising activities (vegetarian cooking, biodiversity, edible wild plants, etc.) during courses, workshops and events. - Depending on your experience, supervise and lead nature and cooking courses during the school holidays for children aged 6 to 12 under the supervision of the activity leaders. You will also participate in the life of the NGO: • by accompanying the facilitators during the weekly visits to the garden and the grocery shop. • by contributing to the life and maintenance of the 65-acre vegetable garden: market gardening, ... • by getting involved in the citizens' grocery shop • by providing your support for the general management

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a flat near the Gembloux train station, 20 minutes by public transport from the organisation or in a shared apartment near the mission site. Every month, the volunteers will be paid an allowance, including food and pocket money. Local transport costs (bus and bike) will be fully covered by the Platform for Citizen Service (PSC), our lead organisation. In the workplace, the young people will be provided with all the necessary equipment for the performance of their various activities/tasks.

🎒 Leisure activities

Once you arrive, the Belgian National Agency (BIJ) will organize an arrival and mid-term training. Aside from that, you will have the opportunity to take part in the trainings organized for the young people in Citizen Service (integration week, democracy, interculturality, European first aid certificate, non-violent communication, sustainable development, etc.). You will also be followed by the PSC teams for personal and psychological follow-up. Finally, you will be accompanied by your tutor who will train you along you volunteer period in your host organisation.

The Participant profile: We are looking for an open-minded young person, interested in a participative and civic-minded project, who likes life in the open air and working in contact with nature, who questions the impact of his or her consumption and more specifically of his or her food on the environment, health and the people who produce it, who feels concerned by the restoration/protection of nature, who is at ease with a variety of audiences (children, adults, people with disabilities,...), who takes initiative and can work both independently and in groups. A basic knowledge of French would be a plus
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
