Hyphen for Inclusion - Marche en Famenne
ASSOCIATION DES COMPAGNONS BATISSEURS
MARCHE-EN-FAMENNE, Belgium
Description
The “Association des Compagnons Bâtisseurs” (CBB) is a non-profit Youth Organisation. CBB proposes different kinds of activities, mainly based on volunteering and non-formal education: local and international workcamps, youth exchanges, mid/long term volunteering, inclusive projects with people with disabilities, activities in CBB community garden, intercultural activities. Our ESC volunteer will be actively involved in our activities, from the prep to the evaluation, and their role will mainly be to facilitate, together with CBB leaders and other CBB volunteers, the participation of diverse audiences. Together with the team, the volunteer will also have the opportunity to participate in residential activities all around Belgium and organize weekly collective activities in Marche-en-Famenne. They will get to meet many new people while contributing to break down stereotypes and encouraging active citizenship and participation among the youth.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will have a private room in a fully-equipped shared house in the city of Marche-en-Famenne, with other ESC volunteers. The house is located in the city centre (on a short foot-distance from the workplace) and has all the modern facilities. Food: the volunteer will receive a monthly allowance and will take care of the meals by themselves. Participation in the European Solidarity Corps is free of charge for the participant, except for exceptional contribution to travel costs. Freeboard and lodging + pocket money.

With the support organization in Belgium (Association des Compagnons Bâtisseurs asbl, "CBB"): residential weekends and networking activities with other ESC volunteers on other projects supported by CBB in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
