About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The In Flanders Fields Museum presents the story of the First World War in the West Flanders front region. Our permanent exhibition tells the story of the invasion of Belgium and the first months of the mobilisation, the four years trench war in the Westhoek , the end of the war and the permanent remembrance ever since. We currently also offer educational activities for students from both Belgium and abroad, as well as a cultural and artistic programme. In the research centre of the museum, visitors can delve deeper into that dramatic period of the history of the world. Here you can research the big, global background story as well as personal and local history.Tasks of the volunteer include helping with research on personal stories, assist in organising exhibitions, helping with different projects led by an international artist.

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).
