About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Within the Maison de l'Europe Bordeaux-Aquitaine (MEBA), we defend the idea that the European spirit is forged from simple daily actions that give an identity to European policies. It has been already 8 years the MEBA is carrying out the project of ‘Ambassadors of European values’ launched on the occasion of the Euro 2016, aiming to contribute to creation of a better and more peaceful environment through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism. A new 'Olympic' dimension was added to our project in 2019 and this volunteering mission thus includes: educational workshops at schools (primary-secondary-high schools), linguistic cafés, radio shows, organization of cultural evenings, presentation of European countries, their culture, heritage, languages and politics, creation of social media contents, participation at big events organized by the city, promotion of inclusion and solidarity in sports/para-sports.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Your future flat is situated at a student residence in the neighbourhood of La Bastide in Bordeaux. The flat is shared by two, each of you having your own private room. The living-room with kitchen and bathroom are shared, mutual respect is therefore required from both flatmates. Your monthly allowance is 400€, laundry is not included, but the local transport card is provided as well as access to the OLS platform to improve your FR language skills. You'll be part of a French/European trinome within a group of 21 volunteers, so in case of difficulty, you'll always have someone to count on! :)

🎒 Leisure activities

As every other volunteer, you will participate at the on-arrival and midterm seminaries organised by the French National Agency. The first 2 months are dedicated to training including: discovery of the city and its heritage, courses on the EU and notions of citizenship, workshops on intercultural learning and techniques of workshops' animation, radio, video and visual facilitation trainings, etc. After that, an active phase of the project begins -> the so-called interventions. At MEBA, every week is different & our timetable is rather dynamic, but that's why you can just hardly get bored!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We're looking for someone who's not afraid to CREATE and CONDUCT educational workshops & PLAY with children. To say a word or two on the RADIO? Yes, that'll be one of your tasks... and teaching the public your beautiful native LANGUAGE as well! Having a POSITIVE attitude (not only) towards some SPORT practice is an advantage! You need to be FLEXIBLE & ADAPTABLE as our timetable changes based on needs of our partners. But most IMPORTANTLY, we're looking for a MOTIVATED & RESPECTFUL people knowing some basics of FRENCH, as this is our working language. Do you meet ALL the criteria? APPLY

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).
