She/He can receive this allowance weekly or monthly. About the local transport, the volunteer will have the choice between a bike or a transport card.

🎒 Leisure activities

Each volunteer will be hosted by the AAAMI organisation (supporting organisation) that will deal with the logistical aspect as well as the trainings. As soon as the volunteer arrives she/he will get a training (1 day) to get to know each others, know more about France and French culture, have clear information and schedule of the activities, meet the tutors and have all necessary info about the cities, emergency contacts, etc. Each volunteer will also participate to National Agency's training (on-arrival and mid-term trainings) organized by professional trainers in South of France.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We do not do a selection on any qualifications. The most important to us is the motivation to be in contact and work with international matters and be in contact with people to give informations, advices, organise European exhibitions, workshops with kids and teenagers about European issues. We would like to host someone that wants to meet French culture but is also willing to share her/his own culture as well. To speak a little bit (not very good) French is a plus. To be interested by various subjects like sustainable development, mobility etc...
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
