3- Personal project:

-bring their vision of the life of the department and its facilities;
-propose events or projects linked to their own areas of interest.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
About the accommodation, the volunteer will live in a KAPS (Flat sharing with solidarity projects). They will have a single room and share the common rooms with French students, workers, or volunteers 18-30. About the food, the volunteer will receive 240€ per month (8€ per day). The volunteer will receive the same amount for the pocket money. They can receive this allowance weekly or monthly. About the local transport, the volunteer will have the choice between a bike or a transport card.
Training during the activity
Each volunteer will be hosted by the AAAMI organisation that will deal with the logistical aspect as well as the training. As soon as the volunteer arrives they will get a training (1 day) to get to know each other, know more about French culture, have clear information and schedule of the activities, meet the tutors and have all necessary info about the cities, emergency contacts, etc. Each volunteer will also participate to a National Agency's training (on-arrival and mid-term training) organized by professional trainers in the South of France, and one or two internal seminars.
Participant profile
We do not do a selection on any qualifications. The most important to us is the motivation, the will to be in contact and work with international matters and be in contact with people to give information, advice, organise European exhibitions, workshops with kids and teenagers about European issues. We would like to host someone that wants to meet French culture but is also willing to share her/his own culture as well. To be interested in various subjects like sustainable development, mobility etc…
To speak a little bit of French is unfortunately necessary to be accepted on this project.
