📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Le GIP de Limoges (groupement d'intérêt public) est une structure publique dédiée au portage de projets et adossée au Rectorat de Limoges. Dans le cadre de la création des régions académiques depuis 2021, le GIP de Limoges est devenu le GIP centralisateur des projets ERASMUS+ pour la région académique Nouvelle Aquitaine. A ce titre, il porte le projet CES LEAD au nom de la région académique.
La région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine est composée de trois académies : Bordeaux, Limoges et Poitiers. La rectrice de la région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine fixe les orientations stratégiques et assure la coordination des politiques éducatives de la région académique.
Ses missions principales sont :
- Accompagnement des établissements scolaires en leur fournissant des ressources pédagogiques, des outils pédagogiques, des formations pour les enseignants, ainsi que des conseils et un accompagnement dans le développement de leurs projets éducatifs
- Promotion de l'innovation pédagogique en soutenant la mise en place de nouvelles pratiques pédagogiques, ainsi que la mise en œuvre de projets éducatifs novateurs.
Les groupes cibles de la région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine sont les élèves de tous les niveaux d'enseignement (de la maternelle au lycée et post-bac), les enseignants, les établissements scolaires, les parents d'élèves, ainsi que les partenaires institutionnels et économiques impliqués dans le domaine de l'éducation.
💼 What the programme involves
We are seeking a volunteer to support our institution in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, located in the South Charente. This role provides a valuable opportunity to engage in various educational and sustainability-focused activities.
Within the school, the volunteer will:

- Address the topic of European mobility, providing testimonials and advice.
- Co-teach with a teacher, proposing activities related to the subject being taught and adding a European dimension, along with firsthand experiences from their own country.
- Lead or participate in projects involving students related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including contributing to initiatives developed by the eco-delegates and the Student Life Council (CVL).
- The volunteer will also have the opportunity to take part in a training session on the "Climate Fresk," with the goal of organizing a workshop on this theme for the students.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Our high school is located in the small town of Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire. The volunteer will share accommodation with two language assistants, including shared common areas (living room, kitchen) and a private bedroom (4 bedrooms available). This independent accommodation is close to the school’s boarding facility and meets current accessibility standards.
The volunteer will have access to the school canteen for lunch and dinner during the school week. They will also have the option to prepare their own meals in the shared accommodation on weekends and during school holidays.
