About the project

ESC: Be part of the International Relations Office team at the Christian Bourquin high school in Argelès sur mer in the south of France

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our school is a public comprehensive school. We have 4 distinct streams: a general education stream, a technological education stream in the hotel and restaurant industry, a vocational education stream in the food industry (pastry-making, bakery, sommelerie, chocolate-making) and a post-baccalaureate stream in the tourism and hotel industry. We have young people from 15 to 20 years old, and we are a school that benefits from Erasmus+ accreditation for all our courses.

💼 What the programme involves

The aim of the assignment will be to run the school's International Relations Office. The school has an Erasmus+ programme which covers all pupils and students (1,000 pupils). There are therefore several missions: 1) create events on the theme of the European Union to raise young people's awareness of European citizenship. 2) to prepare pupils and students for their future Erasmus+ mobility, particularly with regard to travel arrangements 3) Helping to welcome foreign delegations, many of whom come to the school. 4) Helping young European students who come to the school for an immersion course. You'll need to be in contact with young pupils and students aged between 14 and 20. You'll also have to work with the 6-member International Relations Office team. Fluency in French (B1, B2, C1 level) is desirable

🏠 Accommodation on site

The school offers on-site accommodation and there is the option of 3 meals a week in the canteen. A bicycle will be available and the bus station is right next to the school to reach Perpignan. Perpignan railway station provides links to the surrounding towns and Barcelona. In Argelès, there are free shuttle buses to the village.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will have the opportunity to attend 2 compulsory seminars with other European volunteers, halfway through the assignment and towards the end. If the volunteer wishes to enrol in a training course, he or she will of course be free to do so, particularly as part of the Erasmus+ programme. At the lycée, if the volunteer so wishes, he or she can have French lessons with a specialist teacher or in another language. Fluency in French (B1, B2, C1 level) is desirable

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We're looking for a young person who is dynamic, motivated and independent, with a good feel for dealing with both young people and adults. We want future volunteers to be able to put forward ideas and projects, and to be free to do so. We're looking for a young person who wants to get involved in the life of the school, who is a good team player and who wants to bring a European perspective to our school. We don't need someone who is shy or introverted, but someone who enjoys contact with others. As we are part of a consortium, there will be 3 or 4 volunteers in the department, and we want them to be able to exchange ideas with each other. Finally, we would like the volunteer to stay at the lycée to make travelling easier. The flat is brand new and very spacious. Fluency in French (B1, B2, C1 level) is desirable (Please note that when we send you a reply, our e-mail sometimes appears in the SPAM folder)
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
