ESC: Ambassador for a school open to the World [Bienvenue au Lycée Leonard de Vinci de Soissons !]
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Europe Direct Amiens Hauts-de-France (formerly known as Info-Point Europe Amiens Picardie) is a non-governmental and non-profit organisation funded in 1999 in Amiens, northern France. Labelled by the European Commission as an official Europe Direct Information Centre for 22 years, its main aim is to close the existing gap between the citizens of the Hauts-de-France region and the European Union. We offer a free information service in our documentation centre located in Amiens’ city centre, we raise awareness of the EU (institutions, policies, history, current events…) across the region through debates, conferences, fairs and other events and we go into schools, youth centres and various educational organisations to give talks and conduct games, workshops and competitions on a number of European topics (culture, history, geography, the environment…). We have also been a hosting organisation for European volunteers since 2002 and a sending organisation since 2016. A good way to bring Europe closer to citizens.
💼 What the programme involves
As a member of our « EuroVINCI » team, you will improve your French, discover our culture, nurture your citizenship and develop lots of skills including team-work and social such major skills when entering the labour market.
Open-mindedness, adaptability and sustainability will be at the core of the proposed tasks: you will testify of your own experience and interact with students, teaching staff and other members of the school community in the framework of varied activities, adapted to your background and wishes. You will help us to implement and coordinate these activities, including the organisation of highlights (eg. incoming and outgoing mobilities) and exchanges with our numerous partners. And you will of course promote the ESC & the entire Erasmus+ program at school but also in the framework of our strong partnership with our reliable partner EUROPE DIRECT Hauts de France. You will progressively become a soursource of ideas... and maybe a source of inspiration for our students.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will stay at the school dormitory with their own room, a bathroom and an access to a small kitchen, very useful during the week ends or holidays, when the school canteen is closed. Volunteers will get 8€/day for pocket money. Food will be provided on working days and volunteers will get money on days off. A local-bus pass and a regional-train pass will also be provided to the volunteers. Finally a bicycle can be loaned to the volunteers during their stay in our school.
🎒 Leisure activities
During their stay, the volunteers will take part in 2 seminars organised by the French National Agency. One on arrival and the other mid-stay (for those staying minimum 6 months). The volunteers will get free French language lessons at school and also the opportunity to access first-aid training, and other professional trainings depending of his own school/professional project. Volunteers will also be loaned a computer and a wifi access to access all needed training resources.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We are looking for highly-motivated volunteers from EU countries ready to commit ideally for the rest of the school year (but applications for shorter periods will also be considered) and wishing to improve their French language skills. Being a team player (or wishing to become), being open-minded and dynamic is definitely a plus.
And if you are interesting in music, sport or have any specific passion/skill, you’re more than welcome! Finally, if you are ready to engage in a enthusiastic project, if you are cheerful and talkative, our school is definitely the place to be! And if you feel different... Feel free to contact us! Our differences are our richness! So, come and join us, and let’s build the future together!
