๐ท Activity Details
Description
The European volunteer welcomed in the municipality is integrated into the operation of cultural, school and extracurricular services. The common thread of his presence revolves around activities for children in order to contribute to their openness to European culture in general and to the country from which the volunteer will come from in particular. The volunteer works on two main sites: - The Trompe-Souris school group: this site brings together nursery and elementary schools, the school restaurant and after-school reception - The municipal cultural space The activities proposed during the presence of the European volunteer are geared towards cultural openness, solidarity and mutual aid. The presence of a European volunteer makes it possible to broaden the scope of interactions and the discovery of another european culture.
