About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The missions of the non-profit organization ANDAGE is to develop innovative projects and responses adapted to the needs of people with physical, mental or multiple disabilities, adults and children and their families. Andage proposes different activities, collective or not, within their services (workshops about carpentry, handcraft, gardening, music, sport) or outside (visits, excursions). It also runs the ‘Alter Boutique’, a swap place (shop) in the town of Marche-en-Famenne, where anyone can come and swap items, have a cup of coffee or admire the constantly displayed local artists exhibitions. Role of the volunteer: help in the swap shop, support the team to implement new projects; join and propose different workshops (art, cooking, gardening...). Meetings will be organised weekly to plan your tasks. You will also benefit from the support of a tutor.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will have a private room in a shared house or appartment. The house will be located in the centre of Marche-en-Famenne (on a short foot-distance from the office) and will have all the modern facilities. The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance and will take care of the meals on their own

🎒 Leisure activities

On-arrival and mid-term seminars organized by the french-speaking National Agency of Belgium. The volunteers will also take part in the training of international leaders organized twice a year by CBB. Upon request, volunteers can join French group classes (subject to availabilities at certain periods). Volunteers will also be trained on the appropriate gestures and behaviours to adopt with beneficiaries at the start of the activity.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We expect the volunteer to be motivated; be willing to discover and to learn; be open-minded to try new things; with sincere interest in our activities and in learning French (for better interactions with the beneficiaries); be interested in promoting solidarity in a community with the help of other ESC volunteers. TO APPLY, fill in registration form in the "register" tab: https://compagnonsbatisseurs.world/activities/long-term/esc-volunteering/andage/ The starting date can be flexible. We cannot support any visa procedure for this activity.
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).
