About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Comité des Jumelages Angoulême-Villes étrangères aims to bring together democratically citizens of all tendencies and all socio-professional categories. It promotes exchanges and cooperation between cities and their citizens. It intends to encourage friendship, mutual knowledge and intercultural dialogue for peace. It contributes to the construction of Europe, to the consolidation of the feeling of belonging to the European Union and to the emergence of a common identity in the respect of diversity. Founded in 1977, the association is a structure well anchored in the territory of Angoulême and has a great diversity of partnerships in the whole region.

💼 What the programme involves

We are offering a 12-month, 30-hour-a-week mission to : - Run the association's network of volunteers (get-togethers between volunteers, welcoming new members, helping to run the Youth Committee, etc.), - Helping to develop closer links with young students in the local Art and Image Schools community, to get them involved in our projects and encourage young people to participate in mobility programmes, - Help organise local and international events as part of our projects (cultural, sports, mobility, in connection with the 2024 Olympic Games, the Pretty Month of Europe, etc.), - Participating in the promotion and diffusion of the activities of the Twinning Committee, particularly on social networks. - Developing partnerships with organisations in their country of origin. Volunteers are encouraged to make suggestions to improve the content of their mission.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be accommodated at our expense in the city of Angoulême, in a shared flat with roommates, or possibly with a host family, where they will have their own room (to be discussed). The organisation will also pay for the volunteer's bus pass for daily transport, French lessons, any compulsory training and health insurance. The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance which includes food and pocket money (7€ per day for pocket money).

🎒 Leisure activities

- Practical training at the start and in the middle of the mobility period will be provided by the Erasmus+ Agency. - Employees of the Comité des Jumelages and volunteers will train the volunteer and support them in their assignments. - French lessons will be provided by French teachers volunteering within the association.

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).
