🔷 Activity Details
Description
LEAP Lestonnac is a vocational High School focused on People care and Services to territories professions. The school is located in a rural environment and provides vocational training for pupils aged between 13 and 20. We are looking for one volunteer to promote international mobility and interculturality! The volunteer will have to develop ways to interact with students during non-formal periods (such as breaks, meals, outings, evening time at our boarding school, etc.) to support the learning of the Spanish language not only inside but also more importantly outside of the classroom. He/She will also be able to develop personal projects related to the promotion of international mobility and interculturality, social and language exchange, etc. These are some of the activities in which the volunteer will support the team and share with the other volunteer on-site (International Civic Service). The volunteer will also help with our students’ annual 2-week mobility internship in Spain.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in front of the High School in an apartment for 2 people in a private bedroom, shared bathroom facilities, a small kitchenette and a living-room. He/She will share it with the second volunteer (ISC). He/She can spend his/her free time in or off site. He/She will be off during the weekends and most of the school holidays (some of the training sessions will take place over holiday periods). All the meals will be provided and served in the school cafeteria (including weekends and holidays). There is access to all health or administrative services in the village.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will attend 2 training sessions organised by ESC, one at the beginning of his/her mission and the second halfway through it. The volunteer will mainly be guided to develop educational skills: professional practices, approaches in terms of formal and non-formal education to then integrate them into their professional career. They will be able to develop their oral and written communication skills, using all the resources at their disposal (including digital), before, during and after the mobility and the setting up of educational activities. They will learn or improve French.
