DESCRIPTION
The House of Europe wouldn’t feel complete without a European volunteer in its team. Mobility program is a big part of the DNA of our organisation, and we’re very happy to be able to offer such an opportunity to join our team. In the meantime, we are always thrilled to meet new people and discover new culture, new country, etc. We really believe in the fact that being in touch, having the possibility to meet and exchange is the way to fight against fear of “others” and to build long-lasting understanding and peace. The volunteer will be involved into the various activities of our organization. Accompany a colleague to schools to promote Europe and talk about your country and your culture. You can create your own educational tools to present your country or the EU in a fun and interactive way. Lead workshops about your country and your culture with local kids and teenagers during holidays in Sarthe. Present the ESC program
