📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Le Club pour l'UNESCO Jean Laurain Metz a été créé en janvier 1991. C'est une association agréée éducation populaire qui oeuvre dans le champ de compétence de l'Agence des Nations unies: science, éducation et culture. Dès son origine, il s'est orienté vers la construction européenne, la citoyenneté, en particulier par un travail avec les PECO, pays d'Europe centrale et orientale, avant leur adhésion à l'Union, alors que la majorité des Clubs UNESCO français travaillaient esentiellement Nord- Sud, dans les champs de l'éducation et de la solidarité.
Dès sa création, il a organisé des rencontres de jeunes en Europe, sur différents thèmes, sous différentes formes. A l'époque il n'existait pas de programme européen pour la jeunesse, hormis le programme Erasmus pour les étudiants. C'est dans le cadre des échanges de l'OFAJ que le Club UNESCO inscrivait ses actions, obtenait les financements. Il a accompagné la naissance des programmes Jeunesse de la CEE.
Sur proposition d'Edith CRESSON, commissaire européenne auprès de Jean LAURAIN, Président du Club UNESCO de Metz, député, représentant le Parlement français au Conseil d'administration de l'OFAJ, le Club UNESCO a accueilli à Metz un jeune allemand dans le dispositif expérimental de préfiguration du service volontaire européen durant 12 mois. Depuis le Club a accueilli, envoyé et coordonné des volontaires européens sans discontinuer. Il a ensuite organisé des séminaires à l'arrivée et à mi parcours pour l'Agence française Jeunesse .
💼 What the programme involves
Le Lycée Louis de Cormontaigne runs with Hungarian, Czech and German secondary schools, an Erasmus+ project called "Annexions" which focuses on border areas that changed nationalities as a result of war among neighbours. Discussing history, interculturality, peace, differences, language and resilience, this project takes the form of a film concert; the aired film is accompanied by an international students’ orchestra led by a former conductor of the Lorraine National Orchestra. These shows will take place during autumn, winter and spring of the 2024-2025 school year.
The volunteers will accompany the tour, raising awareness and preparing the high school students for their travels in France and Europe, helping to plan and follow up these trips. In contact with the tour artists and partners, they will be responsible, with the students, of the tour communication and organisation. With the tutor’s support, they will also facilitate the participation of students with fewer opportunities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated within either university student residences or youth hostels.
Meals will be provided by the high school Louis de Cormontaigne, within its refectory.
For local travel, volunteers will be able to walk in the city centre, cycle or take a metropolitan public transport pass.
Please note that this assignment also involves travelling to various European countries. When travelling to this kind of places, volunteers will be taken care of by the broad organisation of such mobility.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will be accompanied by the tutor in charge of Erasmus+ projects within the Lycée. They will take part in arrival and mid-term seminars, and benefit online French courses. They may also participate in courses and events organised by the Lycée throughout the school year. As the Lead's coordinating body, le Club pour l'UNESCO Jean Laurain is based in Metz, volunteers will also rely on its support, and have the opportunity to take part in the various activities it offers. At the end, volunteers will be awarded a Youthpass certificate recognising their non-formal education achievements.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We offer two positions that focus on the project’s cultural aspects and contact with students. Motivation for the project is essential, as is the curiosity to travel and present the dissemination tool in various places. In order to facilitate exchanges with the students, a basic knowledge of French and previous experience in communicating and managing similar projects would be a real plus. Additional training may be considered if necessary. The cover letter should emphasise the applicant's motivation, as well as the impact expected on their personal, educational and professional development.

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).
