🔷 Activity Details
Description
L'Eclectic Léo Lagrange is a center in Nantes where 16-to-25-year-olds can find help with their projects, ideas and needs. It aims at reducing inequalities and discrimination, supporting young people in their development and projects and encouraging encounters through an inclusive space.
Volunteer’s tasks :
Help organise and run the centre’s community events: Debates, workshops, information and awareness-raising sessions, cultural outings, creative activities, etc
Support the team in welcoming users: presenting the place, making appointments, answering the phone, leading informal activities (games, debates), computer support
Take part in the structure's overall communication: photos, videos, posts on social networks (posts, reels, stories,…), interviews and portraits of young people, etc.
Carry out a personal project: the volunteer will be expected to develop their own action, project or event towards our users, depending on their interest and what they see fitting for the organisation.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accomodation : the volunteer will be housed in a house with 5 other european volunteers (boys or girls). He will have his own room.
