About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

During one whole year, two ESC volunteers will be together in Paris, France, hosted in the 19th or 13th arrondissement, with interesting tasks and responsibilities to carry out alongside a core team of permanent staff, volunteers and interns at YES Akademia. These include finding and implementing fun and pedagogical activities for several inter-generational centres around Paris, such as cooking classes, gardening and educational workshops which empower residents. Among the activities there is being present and co-constructing workshops for our core IMPOWER program (18 month leadership and global citizenship training program for youth aged 15 to 26 years old and for which we are currently at our 11th class). Other activities include being present and co-constructing the program and logistics around our other core program PRESS START (1 year responsible entrepreneurship program we run internally and for which we are currently at our upcoming 8th class - this year in Tunisia and France).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will live in one of either these two sites with your own studio fully taken care of by YES Akademia: 1) The Hauts de Belleville (mjc-leshautsdebelleville.com), 43 Rue du Borrégo, 75020, or 2) Maison des Volontaires, 2-16 Rue Théroigne de Méricourt, 75013 (maisondesvolontaires.org). Both of these sites are used to hosting ESC volunteers and other young volunteers or workers from France and abroad. They have activities to facilitate meeting new people in France and to open dialogue and discussions. You will receive from YAKA pocket money and transportation fees to cover food and transport.

🎒 Leisure activities

We have an internal training program "BAMBOOST" which introduces all new volunteers to holocracy management, non-profit management in France and our core programs internal to YES Akademia. The program will help you delve into your core competencies and ambitions and you will fill out a special Predictive Index evaluation which gives insight about your professional preferences and work style. Other trainings will be offered thanks to the ESC, when you arrive and mid-way through your volunteer experience. Depending on your interest you can participate in other trainings thanks to our partners.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
