📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

L'école Agile est une école bilingue et démocratique qui veut proposer une alternative éducative à tout enfant notamment ceux qui sont en rupture scolaire, ou bien en souffrance à l'école afin qu'ils puissent retrouver confiance en eux dans un climat bienveillant et coopératif. Les 3 grands principes de l'école sont : - la liberté dans le choix et le rythme desapprentissages à base de projets scientifiques, artistiques, écologiques et autres ou d'ateliers de développement des savoirs faire (bricolage, expérimentation, nature...) avec l’aide des outils de gestion de projet agile. - l'égalité dans l'élaboration et le vote des règles de l'école, la voix de chaque individu (enfant ou adulte) ayant le même poids - la fraternité dans l'absence de classe d'âge (de 5 à 19 ans) ils s'entraident et coopèrent Offrir aux enfants un espace d’écoute et de bienveillance Offrir aux enfants un espace multi-âges de 5 à 19 ans d’échanges et d’ouverture. Offrir aux enfants un espace de jeux coopératifs, éducatifs et ludiques Offrir aux enfants des ateliers divers et variés suivant les intervenants Offrir aux enfants la proximité de notre belle nature dans le respect du développement durable. Les laisser choisir d’apprendre ce qui les motive Les laisser choisir le rythme de leurs apprentissages Les laisser choisir leurs sources de créativité et d’autonomie La gestion de l’école et son fonctionnement sont auto organisés en démocratie et chaque membre peut proposer de nouvelles règles du bien vivre ensemble à l’aide du conseil d’école. Les membres auto régulent également le non respect des règles à l’aide d’outil de médiation ou du conseil de résolution des tensions.

💼 What the programme involves

The Agile School (www.ecole-agile66.com) offers an alternative and engaging learning environment based on trust. We are a social and solidarity association where children learn at their own pace, developing their individual talents and skills. The volunteer is free to participate in the democratic school life, for example: - organise workshops based on their interests and skills (for example: sport, IT, geography, languages…) - help children, aged 6 to 19, with individual learning - resolve conflicts through mediations - take part in the vegetable permaculture garden - set up projects and organise excursions.

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).

  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
