📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The Association Camphill Le Béal has been hosting volunteers for over 40 years by offering an
experience of life sharing with people with disabilities. Over the years, through their outlook on
life, the volunteers have co-constructed the project. For five years now, Le Béal has been working
with the Erasmus+ programme. For next year we wish to welcome 5 European Solidarity Corps
volunteers for a period of 10 months alongside 3 French Civil Service volunteers.
We recruit volunteers who have expressed their motivation for meeting people with disabilities and
for living in rural areas.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers live in a group accommodation with other volunteers. They cook for themselves and spend time on the farm grounds, which is in a rural setting.
🎒 Leisure activities
For at least one month (longer if necessary), the volunteer receives reinforced weekly support: one hour of meeting with the tutor and three hours of group training. The purpose of this introduction is for the volunteer to acquire the necessary know-how in the relationship with people with disabilities and to discover the civic dimension of his mission.
Practical training (with residents in homes and workshops, kitchen, garden, farm, herb
workshop); introduction to the world of work life and the pace of work.
Confidence, development of a sense of responsibility
