About the project

ESC: The animals of Noah's ark

📝 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, organizing educational programmes for children and young people, supporting young people in their transition to active life. One mission of the SNJ Centre Cinqfontaines is to raise awareness of anti-discrimination among young people. The story of Noah's ark offers a good opportunity to discuss this difficult topic with young people. In this story all animals have the right to go on board. From there, we can make the transfer to people and human rights. The participants of the project will therefore deal with the topics of diversity and discrimination and will build a wooden ark and create animals through upcycling.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in the youth hostel in Esch/Alzette and in the SNJ chalet Erpeldange and will sleep in shared rooms. In the youth hostel, breakfast and dinner are served. During the time in the chalet, participants must purchase food for breakfast and dinner themselves (the costs will be covered) and will cook dinner together. The next supermarket is 10min. away from the chalet. Lunch is always taken at the ateliers. 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. This training will prepare the team as good as possible for the upcoming challenges. During that training, the social workers who organize this project will also be present. The participants work in ateliers in Esch/Alzette (about 10min. from the hostel) and Ettelbrück (about 15 minutes from the chalet). There, the participants are supported by artists in the creative process and in the realization of the ark and the animals.

⚠️ 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: 04/10/2024 17:00

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).
