📝 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.

💼 What the programme involves

Join Graulhet's MJC and take part in the ecological transition process. The volunteer is part of a collective inside the MJC (our organisation) that works on establishing a diagnosis and an action plan to develop ecological ways of working at the MJC. The volunteer will support the team and members in the implementation and reflexions in all the areas of the MJC : -> in the leisure center to raise awareness of the young people (11/17 years old) -> in the créalab to think about low tech, reduce and reuse of wastes -> in the cultural programmation to propose ideas and think about a way of having greener shows -> in general to promote greener practices Propose some ideas and be the transition process in the MJC !

🏠 Accommodation on site

For daily journeys, volunteers use the "Lio" bus network, or when 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, each volunteer will receive about 500€ every month to cover the costs of food and pocket money. The rent and charges will be paid directly by the MJC.

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).
