Castres, France

Description

The ”Ludothèque Castraise” is a non-profit association whose main objective is to make a large number of toys and games available to everybody and to convey certain values through this like respect for cultural diversity. The association offers various services; including the "cité du jeu" (an animation space with more than 2500 games and toys) and a leisure center which welcomes children from 3 to 12 years old during school vacations and every Wednesday. We offer to 3 volunteers to participate for twelve months in the life of the association. They will be part of the team which takes care of the children, and they will have the opportunity to set up their own personal project within the objectives of the association. The presence of volunteers supports our objectives and reinforces the European dimension and the values of solidarity that we promote. With this project we want to make Europe and cultural diversity more accessible. For more info: www.laludoc.wordpress.com/volonariat
