Maison de l'Europe à Nantes
Accoord
Nantes, France
Description
The volunteer will join the Port-Barbe outdoor center, run by Accoord, a community education association in Nantes. Located in a Natura 2000 area, Port Barbe offers nature-based educational activities for young people. It offers rich landscapes and exceptional biodiversity, including forests, riverbanks, and open plains. The Center offers a wide range of fun and educational programs throughout the year, focusing on sports, science, and the environment. The volunteer will support the creation of fun and interactive learning tools to introduce European cultures and languages, using themes such as sports, science, environment, and sustainability. They will also take part in preparing and running international youth camps. Ideal for someone who enjoys being outdoors, working with children, and exploring nature and biodiversity.
