🏢 About the local organisation
ATD Quart Monde is an international human rights movement that fights against poverty and social exclusion. Our aim is the eradication of poverty which we try to achieve through a human-rights based approach. We work for a society where nobody is left behind and where everyone has a place. Consequently, our main target group includes people affected by poverty and social exclusion, as well as people who sympathise with them and fight side by side and for a fair world. Our actions include in particular group activities in the form of public actions, creative workshops for youth and adults (e.g. creative workshops, work with wood, writing workshops, handicraft projects, participation in a video project), Fourth World People's University (exchanges, discussions and presentations to the public) and cultural activities (e.g. theater, events, parks, trips, celebration of 17th october, etc.)
💼 What the programme involves
The movement Atd Fourth World fight for human rights, with the aim to ensure access of the poorest to exercise their rights and to advance towards eradiction of the extreme poverty. This willingness to devlope the contacts between young people from all social classes, and first of all with the young people living in poverty and social exclusion,is always the center of the intrests of Atd Fourth Wolrd. We expect the volunteer to contribute to our activities – to come up with new ideas for potential projects and activities for our youth group, to work on existing projects as well as to contribute on creating new ones. Furthermore, we expect our team, the activities and the youth group to gain from the presence of the volunteer by getting inputs from them (as they, for example, are from a different culture, background, country, generation, language, experiences …). This will help create a diverse atmosphere with multiple ideas and approaches to projects and issues.
