🏢 About the local organisation
The Youth centre of Florenville contributes to the social and cultural development of the region by giving youngsters the opportunity to meet each other and discover new leisure activities. To this end, the Youth center takes part in the organization of the Tale Festival of Chiny along with the association “Chiny Cité des Contes”. The Festival lasts one week-end. It offers a wide range of tales told in French by international professional story tellers (from Quebec, various African countries…). Most tales are for adults and youngsters. http://www.mjcf.be and http://www.conte.be
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work together with some youth from the area and the professional team on the preparation and arrangement of the festival site. They will put up and take down facilities. During the festival, they will help with different logistic things (management of the eating space that hosts the 200 volunteers who are active during the festival).
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep in a house in Chiny (bed and mattress will be available for the volunteers). Please bring a sleeping bag with you.
📍 About the location
