Description
The ”Ludothèque Castraise” is a non-profit association whose main objective is to make a large number of toys and games available to everybody and to convey certain values through this like respect for cultural diversity. The association offers various services; including the "cité du jeu" (an animation space with more than 2500 games and toys) and a leisure center which welcomes children from 3 to 12 years old during school vacations and every Wednesday. We offer to 3 volunteers to participate for twelve months in the life of the association. They will be part of the team which takes care of the children, and they will have the opportunity to set up their own personal project within the objectives of the association. The presence of volunteers supports our objectives and reinforces the European dimension and the values of solidarity that we promote. With this project we want to make Europe and cultural diversity more accessible. For more info: www.laludoc.wordpress.com/volonariat
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will be sharing a flat with two other volunteers. It’s composed of three single bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a living room, all of which are fully equipped with bed sheets, blankets, towels, washing machine, oven, microwave, etc. Each month you will receive pocket money (240 €) and money for food. You will be preparing your meals yourself, except for Wednesdays and during school holidays when you will have lunch together with the kids. The flat is located near the city center and all things you could need are in walking distance. The bus in town is free and bicycles are provided.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will attend On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Evaluation sessions organized by the national agency.
