About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The MFR des Forges is a private school under contract with the Ministry of Agriculture, which welcomes 133 students on a work-study basis. Our young people are mainly from west of France (Pays de la Loire, Brittany, Normandy). Our association is very strongly established in the Fertois territory. The MFR is served by trains at Le Mans and Paris stations. The students are welcomed at the boarding school from Monday to Friday. All our students perform their work-study education which allows them to acquire real professional skills. Teaching in English is provided to all students for 2 hours per week and we work jointly with numerous partners. For many years, we have been developing a European opening in our association, with the welcoming of young European volunteers (for 7 years) and the creation of a higher biodiversity bachelor's degree course with the European Federation of Schools for 6 years.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have your own room in a shared house near the center of Le Mans, with easy access to local transportation for your daily commute. Common spaces are shared with other volunteers and collective life is to be expected and encouraged. If you’d rather live alone or stay in you room all year long, this project isn’t for you. You will get each month money for your food, and pocket money, transferred in your bank account at the end of the month you have just done. Pocket money is 240€/month, and food money is either 210€/month + lunch offered at the school canteen on workdays or 240€/month.

🎒 Leisure activities

The French ESC Agency organizes 2 seminars (one on arrival and one mid-term for about a week, with other ESC volunteers in France). All expenses are fully covered. You will have access to the EU Academy platform for online French classes, and you will have the possibility to take part in French classes at the beginning of your volunteering in the Maison de l’Europe. You will be provided a card to use tramways and buses of Le Mans and surroundings unlimited + the mean of transportation for your daily commute + a bike + a discount card for French railways.

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 ?
