Multicultural exchanges at the MFR of Bernay
🔷 Activity Details
Description
As part of this desire to open young people to the outside world, we have been welcoming European volunteers for 10 years. The priority is to promote Europe and mobility within our school, but also outside, through various missions. To promote the cultural openness of our students, the volunteer will be required to present their country and its culture and to involve other European volunteers of different nationalities in the school. We also want the European volunteer to help us prepare the students before their departure on mobility. The 2 final year classes in particular go on an Erasmus+ internship abroad for 3 weeks. The volunteer helps us reassure them by sharing their experience and introducing them to the culture and language of their future host country. More generally, the volunteer will share the daily lives of our students. He will create bonds of trust with them through various educational or fun activities organized with the team.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will have a room in a shared house with other ESC volunteers, in the city of Le Mans with everything provided. You will be provided with a car by the school to drive there everyday. On school days, you'll have the posibility to eat at the school canteen. For the others meals you will receive money to buy your food.
Training during the activity
You will have an onboarding training with the Maison de l'Europe and the group of volunteers and you will take part in the on arrival and mid term seminar.
Participant profile
It is important that our volunteer takes the time to integrate well into the school (which will be their first objective), both at the level of the team and the students. We expect our volunteer to be open-minded, curious, and interested in what our students are doing. They are passionate people who like to talk about their work. Even if the volunteer knows nothing about agriculture or personal services, he must at least show interest. Our students can be shy and rather reserved, he will have to go towards them, spark exchanges and create a relationship of trust with them. We must also not forget the team, with whom he will work on a daily basis. It is therefore important that he has easy contact, that he reaches out to others easily. We also want our volunteers to be proactive in bringing multiculturalism to life. He will have to put in place entertainment and various activities (fun and/or educational depending on his skills) such as themed evenings. Finally, our future volunteer must have a driving license. The MFR is located in the countryside, approximately 25 km from Le Mans, without public transport. We will therefore lend him a car for the duration of the volunteering. He may also be required to drive a 9-seater mini bus or transport students in his car, during outings with the entertainment team or during professional visits.
