📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

There are 7 Youth and Cultural centers (MJC) in Gaillac and Graulhet’s conurbation comittee. MJCAGG is already involved in the European Solidarity Corps programme and is hosting 3 volunteers from October 2020 to July 2021. The MJCs are affiliated to the Departmental Federation of Tarn, the Occitanie-Pyrénées Regional Federation and therefore to the Confederation at the national level. Gaillac and Graulhet's MJC (MJCAGG) focus their actions on 4 fields: ACTIVITY CLUBS - wellbeing, art, music, non formal learning, physical activity and leisure, open from young children to seniors CULTURAL ENTERTAINMENT - eclectic program, promotion of local artists, local, departmental, regional, national and international projects and events YOUTH ACTION - after school activities, extracurricular programs, camps, support for homework, and artistic practices, 2 youth Information Structures and 1 Eurodesk CREALAB - FabLab or digital third place, access to computers and digital machine tools, it is open to everyone and has many possibilities Gaillac and Graulhet’s conurbation comittee, experiences a strong disparity with QPV (Political Quarters of the City) and ZRR (Rural Areas to Revitalize). This diversity creates social, economic and/or geographic inequalities, especially among our youth, who remain the priority target of our organization. These societal challenges are fundamental and the MJCs try to reduce these inequalities, fight against discrimination, community withdrawal and isolation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live in a furnished apartment located in Albi shared with 3 other volunteers (2 single rooms and 1 shared room). For daily journeys, volunteers use the "Lio" bus network, or if needed a car is provided for them. There is also a train station in Albi. Using the “pocket money” and “organizational support” packages as a basis, we calculated a sum to be paid each month to each volunteer. Thus, they will receive about 470€ every month to cover the costs of food, transport and pocket money. The rent and charges will be paid directly by the MJC

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).
