About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

La Maison des Bateleurs is a community education association located in the village of Montendre, 1.5 hours from Bordeaux. It is housed in a former bourgeois residence typical of the Charente region. Spread over three floors, it houses activity rooms, a kitchen and dining hall, volunteer bedrooms and dormitories, and the association's offices. Throughout the year, it welcomes international volunteers and participates in the social life of the region, organizing activities with the leisure center and welcoming school groups to the vegetable garden, organising and leading international projects such as workcamps or youth exchanges.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated on the second floor of the house, in shared rooms. Bathrooms and toilets are nearby. On the ground floor are the kitchen, dining room, and activity room. The third floor houses the association's offices. Outside, a large park features a bamboo grove, a vegetable garden, an aromatic spiral, and more. If you are a green hand, this project is for you ! Meals are eaten together with the other residents of the house. The collective organization of the place plays an essential role in daily life.

🎒 Leisure activities

The mission is 35 hours per week, and activities may vary depending on the association's events: manual labor, gardening, activities with local recreation centers or schools. You will be able to participate in training courses such as “leading an international work camp", "non violent communication", etc. Some workshops can be organised by the team of Maison des Bateleurs as well.

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).
