Volunteering with children and teenagers in rural communities
Concordia Aquitaine
St caprais de Bordeaux, France
Description
The volunteer will have the opportunity to work with children and teenagers in the pre-school of Saint Caprais de Bordeaux. The project is organised by Concordia Aquitaine in partnership with the community of municipalities of 11 different villages, but the mimssion site is in Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux. In addition, volunteers can create activities to link their youth structures and Concordia, or other partner associations. The main task of the volunteer is to work with children during their free time in the centre, to do activities with them and share the culture and traditions of the volunteer’s country. The volunteer will also have the opportunity to develop a project in line with their skills. The working times are shared between afternoons, Wednesdays and the French holidays. The detailed activities will be proposed by the volunteer according to their skills and interests, with the support of the pedagogical team. Come join the beautiful project of rural communities !
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will be accommodated in the house of Concordia with 4 or 5 other volunteers. The volunteers will have to adopt a collective life which means cook, eat and take care of the place together. The office is next to the house of the volunteers and it's common that at midday we eat all together, volunteers and employees. A part of the garden is meant to be only for the volunteers. There is few public transport in this area, it is possible to find bicycles and the volunteer will have access to the car of the association to go to work, do some shopping for the house and for free time.
Training during the activity
We encourage volunteers to develop a personal project besides their initial missions, with the support of the team. To facilitate their integration we propose French Foreign language lessons through local partners. Each volunteer can participate in different trainings based on non-formal education methods, also according to their own interests (Youth Exchanges, European trainings, local seminars ...) The volunteer can also participate to a training to become an animator of international workcamp during the summer.
