💼 What the programme involves

The municipality of Saint-Georges-du-Bois wishes to welcome a young volunteer in the European Solidarity Corps to strengthen its European and international openness. The European volunteer welcomed in the municipality is integrated into the operation of cultural, school and extracurricular services. The common thread of his presence revolves around activities for children in order to contribute to their openness to European culture in general and to the country from which the volunteer will come from in particular. The volunteer works on two main sites: - The Trompe-Souris school group: this site brings together nursery and elementary schools, the school restaurant and after-school reception - The municipal cultural space, for activities linked to the library. These exchanges and this openness also benefit the entire population, particularly through the activities offered by the volunteer within the cultural space.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have your own room in a shared house near the center of Le Mans, with easy access to local transportation for your daily commute. Common spaces are shared with other volunteers and collective life is to be expected and encouraged. If you’d rather live alone or stay in you room all year long, this project isn’t for you. You will get each month money for your food, and pocket money, transferred in your bank account at the end of the month you have just done. Pocket money is 240€/month, and food money is either 210€/month + lunch offered at the school canteen on workdays or 240€/month.

🎒 Leisure activities

The French ESC Agency organizes 2 seminars (one on arrival and one mid-term for about a week, with other ESC volunteers in France). All expenses are fully covered. You will have access to the EU Academy platform for online French classes, and you will have the possibility to take part in French classes at the beginning of your volunteering in the Maison de l’Europe. You will be provided a card to use tramways and buses of Le Mans and surroundings unlimited + the mean of transportation for your daily commute + a bike + a discount card for French railways.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: -We would like to preferably welcome a young person who already has a good knowledge of French in order to facilitate their adaptation and the first exchanges with the children. -We are looking for a volunteer of Italian nationality, in order to offer activities in continuity with those initiated in 2024 with children. This would also allow the development of the partnership project with the Italian municipality of PERGOLA.

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).
