About the project

ESC: Representing Europe at Purple Campus Alès Apprenticeship Centre

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Europe House in Nîmes – Europe Direct and the hosting organization, Purple Campus Alès are looking for a volunteer for a 9 months project in Alès, a town in the south of France. At Purple Campus Alès apprentices prepare a diploma in cooking, mechanics, selling and pharmacy, among others, on a work-study programme. The aim of the project is to facilitate intercultural exchanges between the volunteer and the apprentices (between 15 and 22 years old on average). His/her activities will be using non-formal learning methods to create and carry out workshops for young people. Most of the activities of the volunteer will be linked to the English language, to European culture, to ecology, to new technologies and to tolerance, human rights and health and safety. A big part of the volunteering will be dedicated to volunteer's personal projects and implementing new ideas/activities. Other activities will be linked with the House of Europe: workshops with children, multicultural events...

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be hosted in a student residence and will have his/her own studio in Alès or hosted in a shared flat with other volunteers with a private bedroom in Nîmes. He/she will receive a daily allowance of 10€ for his/her food, to cook in the residence or eat outside. For his/her travel between Alès and Nîmes, he/she will take the train or the bus and will receive a public transport ticket. The volunteer will receive every day an amount of 8€ for pocket money. TRAVEL GRANT: between 211 € and 1188€ max (according to the distance ).

🎒 Leisure activities

In order to be able to organise workshops, the volunteer will take part in a training course organised by the "Maison de l'Europe de Nîmes" during which he will learn how to use non-formal learning tools. The volunteers will attend to the on-arrival and mid-term trainings animated by the French National Agency.

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).

  • Health insurance during your project
