Descriere
Conseil départemental de la Manche is a local government located in the Normandy region in France and is looking for a motivated volunteer to support its youth assembly called the “Conseil Départemental des Jeunes”. It aims at preparing teenagers between 11 & 15 years old to become citizens and to take an active role in the local community. The participants develop at least 4 projects of their choosing during a period of 2 years. You will be helping the CDJ coordinator in the following activities: - Promoting the youth council in secondary schools (September-November), - Organising a meeting with all the participants (in December), - Organising a weekly thematic committee: « sports & future », « living together », « culture & heritage », « environment & sustainability », and encouraging the young people to implement their projects (January-June). You will also be apart of the actions to promote sport and para-sport amongst schoolchildren and European mobility amongst students
