About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The “Centre pour le Développement Moteur” is a school for children and young people with physical impairment and profound learning difficulties between the ages of 3 and 18. The school provides individualised education addressing their individual differences and specific needs. Most of the pupils are in wheelchairs. The school also has a boarding school for about 10 pupils, open from Monday to Friday. The spoken language in the school is "Lëtzebuergesch". The volunteer starts her/his working day before lunch at school and accompanies the children /adolescents after school until the early evening hours at the boarding school. S/he accompanies the children and young people in their leisure activities in the afternoon, at dinner and during care. S/he has the role of assistant.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer lives together with other volunteers in a house in Eisenborn. Each volunteer has a comfortable single room. The accommodation is free available for the volunteer. The volunteer gets pocket money and a food allowance for means of subsistence. The amounts are fixed by law in Luxembourg. The public transport is free of charge in Luxembourg for all users.

🎒 Leisure activities

An experienced staff provides task related support, supervision and guidance to the volunteer, shows the right handling and how to feed a child with chewing problems. The volunteer may also attend the training of the pedagogical team. Each volunteer is coached and supported by a supervisor (responsible for the task-related support to the volunteer, they work in the same group) and a mentor (first contact person, responsible for the personal support and to intervene in case of problems related to administrative, health or conflict matters). Both are available twenty-four by seven.

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).
