💼 What the programme involves
La Maison des Jeunes (MJ) / the Youth House is an association financed by the French Community of Belgium. We work in Marche-en-Famenne, a 17.000 inhabitants’ town which is located in the south of the country. Our mission is to promote youth active citizenship, participation and empowerment. In all our activities (trainings, creative and artistic workshops, outdoor activities and visits, organization of concerts and cultural events) we strive to work based on a “pedagogy of the project." Through negotiation, preparation, implementation and evaluation of activities, we hope to encourage young people to acquire new skills and support them in developing themselves as persons and citizens. The volunteer will have the possibility to participate in all our artistic activities, visits out, concerts,...S/he can offer a personal, creative, sportive activity to implement with the youngsters and his/her role will be also to welcome, spend time with the teenagers after school.
