📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Redon est une petite ville de 10 000 habitants. Elle se situe au cœur du « Pays de Vilaine », une région rurale avec une identité culturelle forte, qui présente des paysages vallonnés et de marais, propices à des activités de plein air. Elle est située en Bretagne Sud, à 60 km environ de Rennes, Vannes, Nantes et de la mer, au confluent de 2 rivières. Elle possède une gare TGV, un port et un vieux quartier construit autour d’une ancienne abbaye. La population est majoritairement rurale ou ouvrière. Le « Pays de Redon » possède un dynamisme culturel important, centré autour de la culture bretonne. L'établissement de la Clarté est situé dans un parc en plein centre ville, à 10 mn à pied de la MAPAR (association coordinatrice, logement des volontaires). La Clarté appartient à l'APF (Association des Paralysés de France) qui a pour mission de faciliter l’inclusion de la personne en situation de handicap dans la société à toutes les étapes de son existence ainsi que la prise en compte des préoccupations des familles. L'établissement accueille 54 enfants et adolescents de 6 à 20 ans, en internat de semaine. Ils sont atteints de déficiences motrices d'origines diverses avec ou sans troubles associés, acquises ou congénitales, nécessitant le recours à des moyens spécialisés pour l’accompagnement scolaire, médical, paramédical et éducatif, indissociables les uns des autres. Pour l’IEM La Clarté, les motivations d’accueillir un jeune en volontariat sont doubles : - donner la possibilité aux enfants et adolescents d’avoir des contacts réguliers avec un jeune d’origine européenne, d’autant plus que Redon n’est pas une ville d’immigration. - Permettre au volontaire de participer à l’accompagnement des enfants et adolescents en situation de handicap dans une dimension autre que professionnelle – le volontaire devient ainsi un partenaire privilégié entre les professionnels et les jeunes - Intégrer un réseau d’acteurs locaux engagés dans l’accueil de volontaires européens à Redon Les jeunes de l’établissement bénéficient ainsi de compétences nouvelles et originales, liées à la personnalité et à la culture du volontaire, qui peut développer son propre projet dans l’établissement. La Clarté accueille régulièrement des volontaires de toutes nationalités depuis 2000.

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).
