Voluntary service in a school in France (Strasbourg)
Gymnase Jean Sturm
Strasbourg, France
Description
The Jean Sturm Gymnasium is a secondary school. It is one of the oldest schools in Strasburg as it was created in 1538. Nowadays the Jean Sturm Gymnasium schools nearly 1100 pupils (14 to 18 year-old teenagers) and 129 people work in this institution (teachers, clerks and technicians included). The weekly schedule ranges from Monday morning to Friday evening and is based on a 33-hours- week, with a break during the day and with wednesday free. A typical week may be: - a time of presence and dialogue in the students’ living areas - leading workshops and activities according to the volunteer’s interests (danse, theater, drawings, debates, ceramics, cooking ect..) - extra-curricular coaching - participation in outings - team meetings and organization times
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
As far as community life is concerned, the volunteer will be hosted in a 6-rooms- flat with other volunteers from the Lucie Berger school (partner school), located about 10 minutes walk from the Jean Sturm Gymnasium. They will share the kitchen, living and dining-room, bathroom but will have also an individual bedroom. They will have to follow the rules in force in the hosting institution. Due to accomodation facility rules, this project is open to women only. Food and accommodation will be provided to the volunteer by the Jean Sturm Gymnasium.
