About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Europe Direct Amiens Hauts-de-France (formerly known as Info-Point Europe Amiens Picardie) is a non-governmental and non-profit organisation funded in 1999 in Amiens, northern France. Labelled by the European Commission as an official Europe Direct Information Centre for 22 years, its main aim is to close the existing gap between the citizens of the Hauts-de-France region and the European Union. We offer a free information service in our documentation centre located in Amiens’ city centre, we raise awareness of the EU (institutions, policies, history, current events…) across the region through debates, conferences, fairs and other events and we go into schools, youth centres and various educational organisations to give talks and conduct games, workshops and competitions on a number of European topics (culture, history, geography, the environment…). We have also been a hosting organisation for European volunteers since 2002 and a sending organisation since 2016. A good way to bring Europe closer to citizens.

💼 What the programme involves

By leaving your confort zone and joining our project, you can improve your french, your EU citizenship, discover a new culture and enjoy volunteering with a multicultural young team. The main tasks of the volunteers will be : - to prepare and give presentations about their country, European mobility and the EU to different groups (pupils, students, adults, young people with fewer opportunities, etc.), to speak about their own experience and culture - to welcome the general public at the office and during fairs and forums - to promote the European Solidarity Corps and Erasmus+ to the youth of the region - to create educational tools (e.g.games and posters) and new concepts for presentations - to help the team in the organisation of events (debates, Europe Day, European day of languages…) - to raise awareness, especially among young people, about european and environmental issues

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will stay in a small student residence, where they will have their own room. The Residence is located in the heart of the City Center of Amiens, at 3 minutes on foot far from the office. A Bike will be offered to each volunteer The volunteers will get 14€/day for food and pocket money.

🎒 Leisure activities

During their stay, the volunteers will take part in 2 seminars organised by the French National Agency. One on arrival and the other mid-stay.

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).
