🏢 About the local organisation

La MAISON DE L’EUROPE DE NÎMES est une association à but non lucratif créée en 1966 avec pour mission d’informer les citoyens sur l’histoire, les réalisations et l’avenir de l’Union européenne. En s’appuyant sur ses réseaux européens, elle crée des actions pédagogiques et des événements pour sensibiliser le grand public, notamment les jeunes, aux défis et enjeux de l’Union européenne et à la construction européenne. La Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes facilite également le montage d'événements européens par les entreprises, les collectivités territoriales ou les associations en les conseillant dans le montage de projet. Enfin, elle favorise la rencontre et la coopération entre les citoyens, les associations, les collectivités territoriales et les entreprises des pays européens. La Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes est soutenue financièrement par l’Union européenne, le Ministère français des Affaires européennes, et des collectivités territoriales de la Région Occitanie. Depuis 2013, la Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes est labellisée Centre d’Information Europe Direct par la Commission Européenne et ce label vient d'être renouvelé jusqu'en 2020. L’association est accréditée depuis juillet 2014 pour l’envoi, l’accueil et la coordination de jeunes âgés de 17 à 30 ans en Service Volontaire Européen (SVE) dans le cadre du programme Erasmus+ et maintenant dans le cadre du Corps Européen de Solidarité. L’équipe de la Maison de l'Europe de Nîmes est composée de 3 permanents et d'un service civique. Etant association, la Maison de l'Europe de Nîmes compte actuellement environ 200 membres dont une dizaine s'applique activement dans les projets européens et la vie associative. L’équipe est résolument européenne, venant de plusieurs pays européens et non-européens et maîtrisant plusieurs langues aisément.

💼 What the programme involves

The high school Lycée Saint-Vincent de Paul is a sixth-form college catering for students from Year 10 through to postgraduate level. We are located in the city centre of Nîmes, in the south of France, just a stone’s throw from the train station and the amphitheatre, in a very pleasant setting. We have a dynamic team running a wide range of projects, including language initiatives, eco-friendly schemes and community-focused activities… The aim of the project is to promote intercultural exchange between volunteers and pupils. As key players in the education sector, their activities will involve designing and running workshops for young people using non-formal learning methods. Most of the volunteers’ activities will focus on European languages, non-formal learning, discovering Europe and actively participating in the school’s projects (sustainable development, etc.)

🏠 Accommodation on site

The timetable is set according to the needs of the teachers and the projects. The total working hours are 30 hours per week. The volunteer must be available from Monday to Friday. Working hours are from 8.00 am to 5.45 pm. The volunteer is entitled to school holidays, amounting to 15 days every 6 to 7 weeks. The allocated is 8€ pocket money and 7€ for the food and activities.

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).
