Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The house where the volunteers will be accommodated is located next to the Maison de l'Europe. A weekly bus pass will enable them to get around Agen, and a bicycle will be provided. Each volunteer will be provided with a cell phone SIM card, giving them a French number. Pocket money (8€/day) and living expenses (250€/month) will be paid into their bank account every month. The young people will have to learn how to manage their budget. Initially, if monthly management is difficult for them, we can make weekly payments and help them to manage their budget over the longer term.
Training during the activity
The young people will be welcomed by their tutor, who will set aside time for their orientation and integration into the city. On arrival, a day will be devoted to settling into the house, discovering the city, doing their first shopping, finding out about bus routes, places to shop and entertainment venues according to their interests. Periodic meetings and interviews will be organized by the tutor, and the volunteer will participate in two national seminars.
