🏢 About the local organisation
Le Bercail accueille 60 enfants dans le cadre de mesures d'assistance éducatives. Âgés de 0 à 18 ans, chaque enfant ou jeune trouvera une place dans l'une des six unités de vie.
Mixte et verticaux, les groupes permettent de garder ensemble les fratries. Chaque maisonnée est encadrée par une équipe de quatre professionnels qui offrent en permanence des référents et une ambiance chaleureuse.
L'engagement de l'équipe d'encadrement repose sur une cohésion de pensée et d'action. Une même volonté de service et une grande disponibilité animent les acteurs et dynamisent leurs journées:
- Choisir d'aimer, y mettre toute sa volonté, car la carence d'amour et l'indifférence sont sans doute les handicaps les plus préjudiciables pour un enfant.
- Choisir d'accueillir, car c'est la forme la plus visible de l'amour et de la tolérance, la plus rassurante et la plus structurante.
- Choisir d'accompagner, car l'éducation est à ce prix.
Nous souhaitons offrir aux enfants un lieu où ils peuvent être rassurés et grandir en sécurité pour le temps de leur placement. C’est pourquoi nous veillons à la permanence des référents par un logement sur place. La stabilité du lieu et des personnes qui s’occupent de l’enfant constitue pour lui et sa famille un sujet de références affectives et éducatives.
💼 What the programme involves
The Bercail cares for 60 children within measures of educational support. Aged from 0 to 18 years old, each child or young adult finds his place in one of the six units. The groups are mixed and with children of different ages, this allows brothers and sisters to be kept together in the same group. Each house is supervised by a team of three professionals who act as permanent referents and provide a warm and friendly atmosphere…
The volunteer will take part in the children’s daily lives in one of the units (getting up, going to bed, meal times, diverse activities (cooking, outings to the swimming-pool or trekking), helping out with homework), within a defined framework.
A typical day will unfold like a day spent in a hosting family, with two meal times: a break in the morning and one other in the afternoon. The evenings are off and the volunteers may spend them with the trainees in a meeting room.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will be housed on the 2nd floor of a building, separately from the home for children, and thus, from the unit in which he performs his service. He will live along with other trainees. There he will get an individual equipped room, the equipped kitchen and bathroom (with washing machine) are shared. All the meals will be provided by the institution’s catering department.
🎒 Leisure activities
Several seminars organized by VISA and by the French National Agency throughout the year.
