🏢 About the local organisation
In partnership with the town of La Ferté Alais, the association Vir'Volt has created in 2018 an international campsite where young people from different countries come to work and live together. The association believes that living together with other people helps in getting to know and understanding other people. The association uses active methods based on non-formal education to facilitate the meetings between people. Through this intercultural project with French, German and Spanish participants, you will live a strong collective experience, will learn about their cultures, and will take some time to discuss the benefits of inter-cultural and mobility projects.
💼 What the programme involves
During this project, you will help the association in organising a local event open to local inhabitants and which promotes interculturality. You will take part in the organisation and communication of this event. You will also participate in workshops and discussion time about interculturality and living together.
