Supporting young people in socio-cultural and educational activities
MJC Croix-Daurade
Toulouse, France
Description
The MJC of Croix-Daurade in Toulouse is a community education organization that promotes access to education and culture for all, to help create a more caring society. In this context, many of its actions are aimed at young people, aged 12-25. The volunteer will therefore be required to carry out several tasks with this target group : >Propose sports, cultural and artistic activities in line with its own interests at the leisure center, in middle and high schools or during actions outside. >Promote mobility and intercultural exchange by sharing its own volunteering experience, culture and way of thinking. >Help organize local cultural events for residents and young people. >Work as part of a team with other members of the youth platform and of the association. >This MJC is one of two MJCs in Toulouse which will each welcome a European volunteer. They will set up regular meetings between volunteers so that they can, ultimately, work on a common project.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer is hosted in a shared apartment in Toulouse (large town close to Saint Jean) with its own room, the rent is paid monthly by the MJC. Meals are paid for by the volunteer, who receive pocket money for this purpose. The MJC pays for a subscription to the Toulouse bus and metro network, as well as a discount card for trains.
Training during the activity
There are two seminars for volunteers : one on arrival, one halfway through the program. The volunteer has French lessons once a week.
