ESC: Be part of la Petite Cantine Vieux Lyon !
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner is an organization dedicated to promoting secular values and defending individual rights and freedoms in the Rhône department and the Lyon Metropolitan Area. It actively works in the fields of popular education, citizenship, and solidarity. Offering a variety of activities and services, it aims to ensure equitable access to culture, education, sports, and leisure for all, without distinction. It also engages in social actions to promote social inclusion and combat discrimination. As a key player in regional associative life, our partner contributes to building a more equitable, supportive, and democratic society.
💼 What the programme involves
The social objective of the Petites Cantines is to combat loneliness, make sustainable food accessible, and build quality relationships with local residents. They opened a year ago. Volunteers will be joining a team of 2 employees and French volunteers of different ages! Our partner is looking for a European volunteer to join the team and help run the canteen by:
- preparing the canteen and welcoming guests;
- managing the participative kitchen and suggesting recipes;
- facilitating conversations and acting as a link between guests to ensure no one is left alone;
- taking care of supplies and collecting unsold food;
- promoting the canteen in the neighborhood;
- making personal suggestions based on your talents and interests.
And, of course, sharing their experience of their country, language, culture, and cuisine!

ℹ️ Additional information
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).
