About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

ASSOCIATION BALLADE uses music to create links and include populations and generation : PLAY (music) TOGETHER TO LIVE TOGETHER
Ballade WAS CREATED IN 2001 TO GATHER POPULATIONS AND GENERATIONS mainly through music.
INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS: Our first steps in Balkans led us to gather a youth orchestra, to create a space of fraternity and fight against communautarism, lonelyness leading to radicalisation, whole made ideas. Our accreditation allows us to coordinate K1 and K2 projects.
We welcome 6 EVS/year to help us in our local projects, teaching music by ear to youngsters with less opportunity and create, through fraternity created by playing on stage together, an inclusive society and an welcoming Europe.

💼 What the programme involves

12 months volunteering in a French NGO using music as a tool of inclusion

🏠 Accommodation on site

Ballade will provide accommodation for newcomers V in a 4 bedroom flat with all comfort, rented by Ballade for volunteers, 2mn away from our main office, with 4 private rooms, a kitchen, bathroom & separate toilet. In case, this flat is not sufficient, it is very easy to find a flat to rent in our part of the town and we have still 2 spare rooms in our office's flat. As it is very close to Ballade’s office, it is very easy to meet and sometimes organise common meals, films, gatherings. Within a walking distance, volunteers can find kebabs and pizzerias that are quite cheap. To pay for meal

🎒 Leisure activities

BALLADE'S ACTIVITIES HAVE A STRONG AND GROWING SOCIAL IMPACT: from one workshop to another, preparing the instruments, helping kids when they have trouble managing, sometimes talking to families, explaining how to sing and pronounce songs in foreign languages and translating them. It is also a good way for us to be seen as a multicultural organisation which makes parents (mostly migrants and refugees) feel at ease to speak, even if their French is not perfect. The role of our volunteers, as our administrative work is increasing greatly, is also to work on all projects.

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).
