About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

At Maison de l'Europe Bordeaux-Aquitaine (MEBA), we defend the idea that the European spirit is forged from simple daily actions that shape the common European identity. It's been already 10 years the MEBA carries out the project ‘Ambassadors of European values’, aiming to contribute to creation of a better and more peaceful environment through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism. But what do we do concretely? We present our countries, their culture, heritage, languages, gastronomy, politics, etc. through educational workshops at schools (primary-secondary-high schools), lead linguistic cafés, create a podcast and our own weekly radio shows, organize cultural events, create social media contents, participate at events organized by the city and meet local MPs, promote European mobility programmes, active citizenship, sustainability, environmental inclusion and solidarity in our society. Check us out on IG @maisondeleurope

🏠 Accommodation on site

Your future flat is situated at a student residence in the neighbourhood of La Bastide in Bordeaux. The flat is shared by two, each of you having your own private room. The living-room with kitchen and bathroom are shared, mutual respect is therefore required from both flatmates. Your monthly allowance is 450€, laundry is not included, but the local transport card is provided as well as access to the OLS platform to improve your language skills. You'll be part of a group of 12 volunteers coming from different countries, so in case of difficulty, you'll always have someone to count on! :)

🎒 Leisure activities

As every other volunteer, you will participate at the on-arrival and midterm seminaries organized by the French National Agency. The first 2 months are dedicated to training including: discovery of the city and its heritage, workshops on intercultural learning and techniques of workshops' animation; radio, video and visual facilitation trainings; basics of the EU and (eco)citizenship, etc. After that, an active phase of the project begins => the so-called interventions start. At MEBA, EVERY WEEK IS DIFFERENT & our timetable is rather DYNAMIC, but that's why you can just hardly get bored!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We're looking for someone who's not afraid to CREATE and CONDUCT educational workshops, ENTERTAIN youngsters & SPEAK in public. To say a word or two on the RADIO in French? Yes, that'll be one of your tasks... and teaching the public English or your beautiful native LANGUAGE as well! Having a POSITIVE attitude (not only) towards biking is an advantage! You need to be FLEXIBLE & ADAPTABLE as our timetable changes based on needs of our partners. But most IMPORTANTLY, we're looking for a MOTIVATED & RESPECTFUL person with some knowledge of FRENCH, as this is our working language. Do you meet ALL the criteria? APPLY

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).
What do we provide ?
