About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Association "Maison de la Culture Famenne-Ardenne" (MCFA) has the mission to spread the culture among a broad public by offering activities under various shapes and through different ways during which people can share and discover in order to reach a cohesive and dynamic cultural group in the community. The association offers many facilities and regular activities: theatre shows; concerts; exhibitions; holiday activities for children; Art Festivals; a Cultural Brasserie; a social vegetable garden…Tasks for the volunteers are mainly linked to animations with the MCFA and the Public Library called BiLoM (creating/managing/animating and evaluating cultural actions; co-animation of exhibition visits and workshops; meetings with social partners; reflection about pedagogical missions). The volunteers can also support the organization of events (set-up and strike-down the material; welcoming the public/artists; bar; reception; ticketing)

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will have a private room in a house that will be shared with other volunteers. The house will be located in the centre of Marche-en-Famenne (on a short foot-distance from the office) and will have all the modern facilities. The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance and will take care of the meals on their own. Participation in the ESC is free of charge for the participant, except for exceptional contribution to travel costs. She/he will receive a small allowance (pocket money) for personal expenses throughout the duration of the activity, including vacation.

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).
