About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

La Maison de l’Europe Le Mans-Sarthe, hereinafter referred to as the House of Europe of Le Mans, also a Europe Direct Centre, is a non-profit organisation with no political or religious affiliation. In our daily activities, our purpose is to raise awareness and inform the inhabitants of the French department of Sarthe about European citizenship and thus contribute to building a Europe of citizens. The House of Europe is a friendly place, ideal for discovering, meeting, experiencing, and exchanging on Europe! The House of Europe wouldn’t feel complete without a European volunteer in its team. Mobility program is a big part of the DNA of our organisation, and we’re very happy to be able to offer such an opportunity to join our team. In the meantime, we are always thrilled to meet new people and discover new culture, new country, etc. We really believe in the fact that being in touch, having the possibility to meet and exchange is the way to fight against fear of “others”La Maison de l’Eu

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).
