About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The collaborative working space « Le Lieu-Dix », located in Saint-Lô city centre, is a meeting point for professionals and the public, it is a place where people exchange and develop different kinds of projects. 3 organizations are hosted in this place and work collectively: - the “Pavillon des énergies”, which works on disseminating good practices respecting the environment, - “Les Saltimbrés”, which promotes circus arts for well-being, - the “Mission locale”, which develops digital tools and a medialab to help young people in their job search. “Le Lieu Dix” has a coordinator for share of spaces and facilitation. The coordinator is looking for a motivated volunteer for 10 months (from September 2023) to help carry out the activities of communication, space management, organisation of public events or workshops, but also to help the “Pavillon des énergies” preparing pedagogical workshops about biodiversity and help “Les Saltimbrés” organising circus sessions.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Activities take place in Saint-Lô (about 19 000 inhabitants). You will be hosted in a family during the first week of the volunteering mission, in order to adjust to the new environment. Later you will share a furnished flat with 2 other volunteers near the city centre (rent is not charged to the volunteer). You will receive food and pocket money each month to cover day-to-day living expenses, support for return travel to and from the project, a medical and house insurance, a bus pass, and up to 40€/month for travelling during free time.

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).
