About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

SOS Faim is a professional cooperation and development NGO created in 1993 and supported by the Luxembourgish Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. It aspires to a world without hunger by promoting a form of agriculture alternative to the dominant industrial model: more sustainable, resilient and solidary family farming. Part of its awareness-raising activities in Luxembourg, SOS Faim will open in September 2024 TERANGA - The House for Food Transition. This place aims to encourage meetings and exchanges around themes linked to the agri-food transition. Main tasks for the volunteer: - Participate in designing awareness-raising programs on agricultural and food issues - Implement activities around agricultural and food issues aimed at a young public - Conceive and create adapted and innovative educational material to foster awareness among a younger public - Participate in the development of the place - Support the communication of the project

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in single rooms, on the upper floor of a house in the center of the town of Schifflange. They will share the premises with six other young people who will also be involved in running the place. They will have a common kitchen and a common day lounge, private access to the terrace while the garden will be open to the public on occasions. Public transport is entirely free in Luxembourg, train and bus stops nearby (2 minutes). Daily allowance for food and expenses, kitchen available for cooking their meals.

🎒 Leisure activities

Upon their arrival, the young volunteers will be trained on group leadership and management techniques based on non-violent communication and collective intelligence. The following supervision by the SOS Faim team will naturally follow the same approach. Volunteers will have real freedom to innovate and reinvent the workshops and activities that will be offered to the public. They will be supervised by the SOS Faim team.

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).
