📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Depuis sa création, en 1994, la compagnie œuvre pour donner accès à la culture, et au théâtre en particulier, à un public éloigné de l'offre culturelle. La promotion de la démocratie culturelle et la valorisation de la diversité constituent les fils rouges de toutes nos activités qui se déclinent en différents types de projets : création de pièces de théâtre, l'organisation de différents festivals ainsi qu'un projet socioculturel intitulé "La maison des cultures Nomade(s)". Le projet a pour priorité l’animation culturelle dans les quartiers populaires. Il a pris cours dans les quartiers de Bruxelles par la rencontre du travail artistique de la compagnie des Nouveaux Disparus et de nombreuses associations de terrain dans les quartiers. Immerger un volontaire dans ce contexte sera très formateur pour lui. Le projet SVE est né de l’intérêt d’associer un jeune européen à ce travail interculturel. Son rôle sera d’accompagner les chargés de projets dans tous les aspects de leur travail : relations avec les équipes artistiques, suivi des relations avec les partenaires de terrain, relations avec les publics dans les lieux visités par la compagnie, animation, communication… Il nous semble que les objectifs de la compagnie complètent pleinement ceux du SVE. La dimension interculturelle est cruciale dans cette démarche. L’équipe d’encadrement est très dynamique et formatrice. Elle a coutume d’accueillir des stagiaires et des vacataires dont les missions sont précises et limitées dans le temps. L’association développe aussi une culture de l’évaluation par des réunions d’équipe régulières où tout le monde peut s’exprimer. Grâce à ce projet, la compagnie espère que le volontaire aura une nouvelle conscience sur les autres cultures, sur l’importance de l’animation culturelle et l’impact de celle-ci a dans la vie quotidienne. Nous espérons également que le volontariat effectué lui apportera confiance en soi et envie d'entreprendre de nouveaux projets en lien direct ou indirect avec l'expérience vécue. Le partage des cultures, des connaissances est un objectif en soi. Ainsi, les nombreuses rencontres et ateliers durant les festivals entre le participant et notre public cible seront un réel moment d'échange. Grâce à nos partenariats avec les associations de quartier. Le volontaire est donc en contact direct avec la population des villes et quartiers où nous sommes implantés. Cela donne lieu à des échanges qui promeuvent l'importance de la diversité culturelle et de la mobilité des jeunes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the beginning in 1994, « Les Nouveaux Disparus Company » works to give access to culture, to theatre particularly, for people who doesn’t have access to the cultural offer. The cultural accessibility and the promotion of the cultural diversity are the main goals of our company and are developed through several projects: creating theatre plays, organisations of festivals and a sociocultural project named “La Maison des cultures Nomade(s)”. The aim goal of our project is the sociocultural activities in the working class area. This, has begun thanks to the meeting between the artistic work of Les Nouveaux Disparus and the non profit organisation working in this kind of area. Being immersed in this context would be very educative for the volunteer. The EVS project result from the interest of associate an European volunteer to this intercultural work. The participant will work with the projects managers in the whole aspect of tasks: contact with the artistic team, following the partnership in the field, contact with the public met in the different places where the theatre company is working, organisation, communication… We think that our goals complement those of the EVS project. The intercultural aspect is crucial in our approach. Our team is very dynamic and educative. We are all used to welcome trainers and volunteers with clear missions and time bound. Our company also integrate a culture of evaluation by organising team meeting where everybody can express himself freely. Thanks to this project, we hope that the volunteer will have a better consciousness about other communities and cultures, about the importance of the sociocultural activities and their impacts in our daily lives. We also hope that this voluntary service will bring confidence to the volunteers and help them to feel like doing something links directly or indirectly with this experience. Sharing cultures and knowledge is one of our goals. The several meetings, workshops and festivals organised by our company will be a real opportunity to share with our public and learn for the volunteer. Thanks to our partnership with different non profit organisations, the volunteer will be directly involved with the population of the areas where we will be established. This underlines and prom

💼 What the programme involves

Nouveaux Disparus is a fairground theater company that conducts a unique work of its kind: working for cultural accessibility with, as a tool, a marquee that sets up primarily in disadvantaged areas of cities and towns in Belgium and abroad. Cultural democracy as insertion lever and equality is the common thread running through all of its activities. During the first part of the volunteering period, the volunteer will discover and observe the functioning of the Company while trying out different tasks. These tasks will be gradually defined according to his/her affinities, motivations and the company's activities and needs. The volunteer has access to different types of learning and activities. There are several areas of work within the Company: socio-cultural animation, cultural mediation, administrative, technical and artistic. The Company's team is a dynamic team made up of people who are used to training young people and who therefore have the qualities of welcoming and listening.
