🏢 About the local organisation

With the European Solidarity Corpq volunteering project "Get ready for Corps" Tera Maison de l'Europe de la Charente and the Campus CCI Charente Formation promote intercultural dialoge, informal skills and international solidarity.

The college and association are in a rural area of France (Angoulême is a vibrante and cosmopolitan city of 40,000 but ma,ny students and youngsters come from the surrounding rural areas of Charente), where stereotypes and racisl bagainst minority groups can be a problem.

Given the background of the recenbt events happening in France, we have an important role to playin order to prevent any kind of radicalization and to promote non-discrimination through education. The primary purpose of education is not only to develop knowledge and job related competences but also to help young people to become active, responsible, open-minded members of a diverse society of tomorrow.

Our ESC project "Get ready!" will open up manu opportunities to encourage intercultural exchange, travelo for study and volunteering for students and youngster at CCI Charente Formation and Tera. For our four European volunteers, it will offer a great opportunity to build language, cultural, social and organisational competences and to participate in the big "family" of CCI Charente Formation and Tera.
