📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Every year, the village of Cercoux organises a week of living together with the pupils of the pre-school and primary school just before the spring holidays. This year, the Mayor wanted to add an intercultural aspect to this festival and called on our organisation Maison des Bateleurs-Solidarités Jeunesses for this.
💼 What the programme involves
During the first week, you will work with the children of Cercoux, from the nursery to the primary school, to organise the week of living well together. Depending on your affinities, you will be able to organise the preparation of dishes with the children of the primary school, or the initiation to music and dances of your choice to the children of the nursery and the pre-school. In the second week, you will work on interculturality and living together with the children who could not go on holiday. The last week, you will be painting the village bus stop.
🏠 Accommodation on site
First, you will be living with a local family or in tents. Then, from the second week onwards, you will be accommodated in the school where you will have all the facilities at your disposal. You need to bring your sleeping bag. You will be working at the school but you’ll have a van for your travels through the region. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal will be prepared each day by teams except for breakfast, while respecting the values of sustainable development and the culture of each person (vegetarian and vegan meals are available upon request).
