🏢 About the local organisation

Fondée en 1938, la Ligue de l'enseignement du Cher a pour but de : - contribuer au progrès de l'éducation sous toutes ses formes - de permettre à chacun de comprendre la société où il vit, de s'y situer, de s'y exprimer et d'agir en citoyen - de favoriser le développement d'une vie démocratique laïque, soucieuse de justice sociale et attachée à la paix - de développer toutes les initiatives collectives et associatives favorisant l'épanouissement le plus large des personnes par un égal accès de tous à l'éducation, à la formation, à la vie professionnelle, à la culture, à la communication, au sport, aux vacances et aux loisirs. - de faire vivre la laïcité, principe constitutionnel et valeur universelle qui implique la reconnaissance de l'égale dignité de chaque être humain. La Ligue de l'enseignement du Cher organise ses activités autour de 6 pôles : Culture ; Education-Jeunesse, UFOLEP-USEP, Vie Associative, Prévention-insertion, Environnement et Développement durable. La Ligue de l’enseignement favorise la mobilité des jeunes en accompagnant également leurs projets d’engagement et de solidarité en Europe ou à l’international. En outre, l’Education à la Citoyenneté et à la Solidarité Internationale traverse l’ensemble de ces champs d’actions et œuvre pour favoriser largement l’ouverture à l’autre et au monde.

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).
