📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
La Maison Familiale Rurale de l’Iroise (MFR) is a vocational and rural training centre. It welcomes young people from 14 to 20 years old (80% are girls) for the initial and continuing education in Early Childhood.
MFR offers several missions to the volunteer:
- To raise young learners’ European awareness (foreign language learning, European culture, etc.) through original methods (CV in English, Erasmus internship preparation);
- To lead cultural projects, to organize reading workshops in the structures that host our trainees
- to lead writing workshops with our usual local partners (media library of Saint Renan);
- To set up thematic weeks linked to European countries by promoting the cross-disciplinary teaching practices in MFR
- To give a new breath to the school
- To participate in the collective life of the boarding school by organizing workshops, debate, movie-debates, etc.
- To create a different link with the local partners by bringing a European touch
