📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Le Club pour l'UNESCO Jean Laurain Metz a été créé en janvier 1991. C'est une association agréée éducation populaire qui oeuvre dans le champ de compétence de l'Agence des Nations unies: science, éducation et culture. Dès son origine, il s'est orienté vers la construction européenne, la citoyenneté, en particulier par un travail avec les PECO, pays d'Europe centrale et orientale, avant leur adhésion à l'Union, alors que la majorité des Clubs UNESCO français travaillaient esentiellement Nord- Sud, dans les champs de l'éducation et de la solidarité.
Dès sa création, il a organisé des rencontres de jeunes en Europe, sur différents thèmes, sous différentes formes. A l'époque il n'existait pas de programme européen pour la jeunesse, hormis le programme Erasmus pour les étudiants. C'est dans le cadre des échanges de l'OFAJ que le Club UNESCO inscrivait ses actions, obtenait les financements. Il a accompagné la naissance des programmes Jeunesse de la CEE.
Sur proposition d'Edith CRESSON, commissaire européenne auprès de Jean LAURAIN, Président du Club UNESCO de Metz, député, représentant le Parlement français au Conseil d'administration de l'OFAJ, le Club UNESCO a accueilli à Metz un jeune allemand dans le dispositif expérimental de préfiguration du service volontaire européen durant 12 mois. Depuis le Club a accueilli, envoyé et coordonné des volontaires européens sans discontinuer. Il a ensuite organisé des séminaires à l'arrivée et à mi parcours pour l'Agence française Jeunesse .
💼 What the programme involves
Join us in Metz, France, to promote European citizenship, intercultural dialogue and youth engagement! As a volunteer, you’ll organize creative events like eloquence and writing contests, interactive stands at festivals, language cafés, and cultural workshops. You'll support youth exchanges and help create videos, podcasts, and social media content about European values and young voices. You’ll also be encouraged to develop your own initiative with the support of our team. This is a great opportunity to meet new people, learn about European programs, and contribute to building a more inclusive and democratic Europe.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be provided. The volunteer will receive a monthly bus ticket, as well as pocket money and food allowance.
🎒 Leisure activities
During the volunteering period, the volunteer will participate in two national-level trainings: an on-arrival training and a mid-term reflection seminar. These sessions will help the volunteer engage with their experience, reflect on their progress, and develop new skills. Additionally, other training opportunities will be available to further support the volunteer’s learning and personal growth.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We’re looking for a motivated young person who is curious about European topics, enjoys working with others, and wants to make a difference. No specific diploma or experience is required. If you like organizing events, creating content (videos, articles, social media), exchanging ideas with other young people, or exploring different cultures, this mission is for you! An interest in citizenship, communication, or intercultural dialogue is a plus. You should be open-minded, creative, and ready to take initiative. Basic knowledge of French or English is useful but not mandatory, what matters most is your motivation and willingness to learn. This project is open to all young people aged 18–30 from EU and partner countries.

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 ?
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).
