About the project

ESC: Building Europe for Peace in Souleuvre en Bocage

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project takes place in the small town of Souleuvre en Bocage, located in Normandy in a green setting, close to a medium-sized town (Vire 15 km) and 55 km from Caen. As part of the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the liberation of Normandy, the volunteer will participate in the organization of a Franco-Austrian-Polish meeting around peace and sustainable development in conjunction with the town hall and the 2 twinning committees. To associate a wide audience with these festivities, the volunteer will be invited to offer regular workshops around Europe, citizenship and sustainable development in college and schools of the municipality, as well as at the social center (participation in the civic education program for students, photo contest and exhibition, creation of a Peace Garden). It will support the twinning committees in their digital uses and communication: virtual meetings, production of videos on the actions to create a film recounting the whole project...

🏠 Accommodation on site

The municipality provides an independent accommodation. It will welcome the volunteer in its town hall in a shared office, with use of a car from the municipality if needed for its mission. Lunch is possible at the college at a preferential rate on working days, outside school holidays. The town has various shops that offer autonomy regarding meals, medical and pharmaceutical care. For personal travel, a bicycle is available as well as a carpooling service set up by the Social Center through volunteer drivers. Vire and Caen are accessible by bus, Paris and the Seaside by train from Vire.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will participate in the organization of the event in all its dimensions from its beginning and will be present for the meeting in July 2024 of which he will be the privileged witness. It will therefore allow him to discover and develop many professional skills in contact with the teams of the town hall, schools, twinnings: coordination of local and foreign partners, pedagogy and animation of groups of young people, intergenerational adaptability, cultural, institutional, civic knowledge, communication and digital uses, follow-up of the logistics and the budget of the event.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: To take full advantage of this experience, the volunteer should: - be comfortable with groups of children - have some knowledge of French and english - be creative and interested in digital tools - be interested in European and environmental issues - be prepared to live in the countryside - have a driving license - be open, sociable, adaptable
Deadline: Application deadline: 06/08/2023

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).
