About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The "Service National de la Jeunesse (SNJ)" (National Youth Service) is a state agency subordinate to the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth. The SNJ's tasks include contributing to the creation of the legal framework, organising educational programmes for children and young people, supporting young people in their transition to active life. Which animal would you take with you on your ark and why? Based on these questions, the participants will deal with the issues of diversity and discrimination. Every animal has its strengths and weaknesses and its own needs. They are all unique and equal (or not?). The participants should choose an animal and think of a background story for it. They are then asked to produce this animal through upcycling. The participants will be supported by artists. Later, the animals should be used to talk to children about diversity and discrimination.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in the chalet Weicherdange (https://erliewen.snj.lu/weicherdange/).The volunteers will sleep in shared rooms. Three meals a day will be provided, or the volunteers will receive a food allowance. In the evening, the participants will cook together in the chalet. Weicherdange is a small rural village, with a lot of nature. The nearest town, Clervaux, is 10min away. From Clervaux trains run to Luxembourg City (journey time approx. 1h). Public transport is free of charge in Luxembourg.

🎒 Leisure activities

The first 3 days after the volunteer’s arrival are dedicated to an on-arrival training (OAT). This training will prepare the team as good as possible for the upcoming challenges. During that training, the social workers who organised this project will also be present. During the entire time of the project, there will always be somebody who can be contacted.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The participants must have a basic level of English, should be autonomous enough to live on their own for most of the time and have the willingness to deal with the issues of diversity and discrimination. Candidates/participants should be motivated to invest their time, knowledge and competences in the foreseen project. In short, the requested competences/skills : creativity, manual skills, autonomy and basic English skills.
Deadline: Application deadline: 01/12/2023

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).
