About the project
ESC: Volunteering in a Middle School
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner is a public intermediate school in Reims, France, catering to children aged 11 to 15, with 554 pupils enrolled. They offer specialized education for children with special needs, including a class called ULIS and support for pupils with disabilities through scholar assistants. The school is situated in Reims, a city with 220,000 inhabitants located 150 km northeast of Paris. Besides regular lessons, the school organizes various activities and projects such as slam poetry, cooking workshops, and anti-bullying initiatives. By hosting a European volunteer, the school aims to educate and raise awareness among pupils about European diversity and alterity. The volunteer will engage in three types of activities: participating in European projects like eTwinning, incorporating a European dimension into non-formal educational projects, and collaborating on European projects with the Regional Youth Information Center. Additionally, the volunteer will conduct some activities at another college in Epernay to diversify the experiences offered.

ℹ️ Additional information
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).
