๐ท Activity Details
Description
Main part of the volunteering will be dedicated to work with youth leaders of the organization and organize activities with the youth hosted by the organization on their daily life: after school and during the holidays: those aged โ11โ15โ and โ16โ25โ from a priority neighbourhood. Volunteers will be involved in supervising and leading educational and recreational activities decided upon together. The role also includes supporting pupils at risk of dropping out of school, as well as delivering sessions in secondary schools. Another part of the volunteering will be dedicated to organize street workshops on topics decided jointly, aimed at local residents. An extra part of the volunteering will be dedicated to promotion of European volunteering programmes, sharing their experience and culture. Finally, the volunteer will have to participate in local solidarity projects where he/she will be living in and in community events organised by i.PEICC in the Mosson district.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
A single bedroom in a shared flat, 10 minutes walk from the organization. The district called โMossonโ or โPailladeโ is really interesting for its multiculturalism, dynamism and solidarity actions led by inhabitants and organisations. Average income, employment rates and social diversity are low; there could be trash in the streets and the district can give a feeling of insecurity. A welcoming neighbourhood that the city considers it as a high priority area benefiting from urban regeneration where efforts are being made to improve the living conditions: housing, social diversity and employment
Training during the activity
The volunteer will be participating in the on-arrival and mid-term trainings organised by the National Agency, if possible. He/She will be registered on the on-line linguistic support proposed to all European Solidarity Corps volunteers. He/She will be in regular contact with his/her mentor in the hosting organisation and with his/her mentor in the sending organisation. A welcoming time, trainings and support to help him/her in his/her integration and activities will be organised.
Participant profile
Volunteers ready to share experiences with other French and European volunteers and to live and volunteer in the same neighbourhood. Proactive and open-minded individuals who enjoy working with young people, as well as playing, drawing, doing sport, visiting museums, etc. Volunteers interested in interacting with children, young people and local residents. If you are ready to adapt to a new environment and meet new people as part of this volunteering opportunity, please do not hesitate to send us your documents and/or a brief introduction so we can get to know you better!

Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
