🏢 About the local organisation

La MAISON DE L’EUROPE DE NÎMES est une association à but non lucratif créée en 1966 avec pour mission d’informer les citoyens sur l’histoire, les réalisations et l’avenir de l’Union européenne. En s’appuyant sur ses réseaux européens, elle crée des actions pédagogiques et des événements pour sensibiliser le grand public, notamment les jeunes, aux défis et enjeux de l’Union européenne et à la construction européenne. La Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes facilite également le montage d'événements européens par les entreprises, les collectivités territoriales ou les associations en les conseillant dans le montage de projet. Enfin, elle favorise la rencontre et la coopération entre les citoyens, les associations, les collectivités territoriales et les entreprises des pays européens. La Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes est soutenue financièrement par l’Union européenne, le Ministère français des Affaires européennes, et des collectivités territoriales de la Région Occitanie. Depuis 2013, la Maison de l’Europe de Nîmes est labellisée Centre d’Information Europe Direct par la Commission Européenne et ce label vient d'être renouvelé jusqu'en 2020. L’association est accréditée depuis juillet 2014 pour l’envoi, l’accueil et la coordination de jeunes âgés de 17 à 30 ans en Service Volontaire Européen (SVE) dans le cadre du programme Erasmus+ et maintenant dans le cadre du Corps Européen de Solidarité. L’équipe de la Maison de l'Europe de Nîmes est composée de 3 permanents et d'un service civique. Etant association, la Maison de l'Europe de Nîmes compte actuellement environ 200 membres dont une dizaine s'applique activement dans les projets européens et la vie associative. L’équipe est résolument européenne, venant de plusieurs pays européens et non-européens et maîtrisant plusieurs langues aisément.

💼 What the programme involves

The House of Europe would like to host 2 volunteers for a project of 11 months in Nîmes, a Roman city in the south of France. The aim of the project is to help young people from the region discover opportunities abroad by organizing Erasmus+ internships in Europe, in order to develop participants’ independence, self-confidence and language skills. The volunteers will be working with our project managers on the following main tasks: Recruitment of participants - Preparing and co-leading preparatory English sessions - Assisting in workshops on topics like interculturality, conflict management, EU citizenship - Supporting participants during their internships - Administrative tasks before, during, and after the projects. The House of Europe also works with the local community, informing about current events, projects, and opportunities related to the EU. Furthermore, the volunteers will have the opportunity to be part of the team managing our website and social medias and events.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted in single bedrooms in shared flats. The volunteers will occasionally have the chance to travel to different cities for their project, and in that case the House of Europe will organize the transport. The volunteers will receive a daily allowance of 8€ in pocket money and 10€ for food. A return trip for the project will be covered with a grant, depending on the distance. The volunteers will work up to 32 hours per week from Mon-Fri, 9 am to 5 pm, with Friday afternoons off.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will have the opportunity to attend the on-arrival training and the mid-term evaluation organized by the French National Agency. Furthermore, there will be several possibilities to take part in other trainings during the year according to the offers and the interest of the volunteers. The volunteers can also participate in French classes, adapted to their individual level of French, held every week at the House of Europe.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We expect the volunteers to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for Europe, mobility and interculturality with the public. Candidates should have a good level of English and a basic French knowledge will be a plus. The motivation of the candidate, their capacity to evoke enthusiasm during the workshops, especially for young people, and the understanding of the pedagogy of non-formal education will be important criteria. They will have to be flexible, communicative and able to adapt according to specific situations and different types of audiences.
Deadline: 04/07/2025 12:00

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).
