🇧🇪 ESC Volunteering in Belgium 🎻 Music for Social Projects and Instrument Workshops 🎶

Description

« Music Fund » is a non-profit association based in Belgium with an expertise centre in Marche en Famenne, a town located in the French part of Belgium. It aims to promote music as an instrument to develop social projects for young people, in Belgium and in conflict zones and developing countries, with the slogan “Give music a chance”. Web: http://musicfund.eu/about/history-philosophy/ Supported by an expert organization (CBB), Music Fund welcomes an ESC volunteer every year. The volunteer will have the opportunity to participate in all the activities taking place in the atelier and in the warehouse: administrative, logistics and cultural. Also, the volunteer will be greatly encouraged to create a personal project inside the organisation with the great support of the Music Fund. The goal is to help the association in their daily tasks (in the atelier and warehouse), share their activities with the general public and help with events organisation.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accomodation: The volunteers will have a private room in a fully-equipped shared house in the city of Marche-en-Famenne, with 6 other ESC volunteers. The house is located in the city centre (on a short foot-distance from the workplace) and has all the modern facilities. Food: the volunteer will receive a monthly allowance and will take care of the meals by themself. Participation in the European Solidarity Corps is free of charge for the participant, except for exceptional contribution to travel costs. Freeboard and lodging + pocket money.

Training during the activity

With the French-speaking National Agency of Belgium: on-arrival and mid-term seminars. With the support organization in Belgium (Association des Compagnons Bâtisseurs asbl, "CBB"): residential weekends and networking activities with other ESC volunteers on other projects supported by CBB in the French-speaking part of Belgium. The volunteer will have the opportunity to accompany students while fixing the instruments. While not being training as such, they will benefit from it. Training about how to store safely instruments is embedded into this activity.
