About the project

ESC: Manche youth council : support the participation of young people

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

2 volunteering positions The “Conseil départemental de la Manche” is a local government located in the Normandy region in north-western France. We are looking for 2 motivated volunteers to support our youth assembly called the youth council (“Conseil Départemental des Jeunes”). It aims at preparing teenagers to become citizens and to take an active role in the local community. The participants develop and implement at least 4 projects of their choosing during a period of 2 years. The 3rd promotion has 54 “junior delegates” who are between 13 and 15 years old. They are divided into the following 4 thematic committees: « sports & the future », « living together », « culture & heritage », « environment & sustainability ». For 10 months from September 2023, you will be supporting the second year of the 3rd promotion by helping the YC coordinator in the organisation & animation of the sessions/trips and accompanying young people in the implementation of their projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Activities take place in Saint-Lô (about 19 000 inhabitants). You will be hosted in a family during the first week of the volunteering mission, in order to adjust to the new environment. Later you will share a furnished flat with 2 other volunteers near the city centre (rent is not charged to the volunteer). You will receive food and pocket money each month to cover day-to-day living expenses, support for return travel to and from the project, a medical and house insurance, a bus pass, and up to 40€/month for travelling during free time.

🎒 Leisure activities

- European Solidarity Corps training sessions with other volunteers in France ; - Online Linguistic Support ; - Facilitation training at the beginning of the mission : how to use facilitation tools, skills in working with teenagers, good practices to handle disruptive behaviour and accompany the participants in their projects ; - French language lessons and registration for a certification exam in French if you wish ;

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for 2 volunteers with energy, enthusiasm, sociability and creativity. The volunteer has to be interested in education and citizenship, be attentive with young people and having good inter-personal skills. No diploma will be required, but communication skills in French (B1 or B2 level) would be greatly appreciated in order to directly interact with young people. The volunteer should preferably have a valid driver's license (travelling throughout the Manche region can be required). Don't hesitate to send us a Europass CV and a motivation letter!
Deadline: Application deadline: 09/05/2023

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
