🔷 Activity Details
Description
As an ESC volunteer, your role will be to foster cultural openness and citizenship among local youth through a dual mission split between Collège Tabarly (during school terms) and the APJC Youth Center (during holidays). At the school, you will design interactive language clubs, support Spanish pedagogical projects, help organize events like "Europe Day", and guide students in eco-citizen initiatives. During school holidays, you will join the APJC team to lead socio-cultural activities and raise awareness about international mobility opportunities (like Erasmus+ and ESC). Throughout the mission, you will receive full logistical support, an allowance, and dedicated mentorship from both structures to guide your daily tasks and help you develop your skills for the Youthpass certificate.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The coordinating organization (Lead) fully manages the logistical arrangements for your accommodation and provides the monthly payment for your food allowance (subsistence) and pocket money via bank transfer (500€). Additionally, all logistics and materials required for your daily missions are fully managed and provided by the APJC and the collège.
Training during the activity
As part of your European Solidarity Corps mission, you will benefit from regular pedagogical training and continuous support from your mentors to guide your daily tasks and help you develop new skills. Throughout your project, you will learn how to design educational workshops, lead socio-cultural activities, and manage youth-led projects. Your mentors will dedicate specific time to help you reflect on your learning outcomes and guide you through the official process of evaluating and validating your newly acquired skills using the European Youthpass certificate
Participant profile
We are looking for a motivated and dynamic volunteer with excellent interpersonal skills to connect with young people (middle school students and local youth at the APJC). The ideal candidate should be creative and independent enough to design fun workshops, while showing a strong interest in European values, citizenship, and interculturality. Finally, a willingness to work in a team, an interest in socio-cultural animation, and comfort with digital tools will be major assets for this mission.

Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/

This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
