Descriere
Unis-Cité is an association offering several team volunteering projects in culture, environment, solidarity, against the isolation of elderly… Our values and keywords are: team and diversity ! Diversity concerning age, gender, academic levels, residence areas… We believe that these team volunteering missions in diversity can bring the youth together around a same mission, letting all the social and personal clichés falling down and learning how to cooperate! In the city of Tours, Unis-Cité offers a volunteering mission for 2 European ESC, that will join a group of 22 young French volunteers! As a volunteer, you'll contribute to strengthening social ties and improving the daily lives of elderly people in Tours. Through friendly visits, co-organized activities, and local events, you’ll help create moments of connection and joy. You'll also support the creation of a newsletter for seniors and help preserve their memories through creative projects such as exhibitions, books, or videos.
