YOUTH INFORMATION AND SPORTS

Activity description

The city of Hendaye (17,000 inhabitants), located in the extreme south-west of France at the border to Spain, will host 2 volunteers. The main objective of this project is to promote Europe on local level. The volunteers will be involved in various community projects with different partners and age groups. Both volunteers will take actively part in animations about Europe in the town’s leisure center (during school holidays) or within the extracurricular activities of two schools for children aged from 6 to 11. They will also participate in the organization of cultural activities in cooperation with the Cultural Service (festivals in May and July). One volunteer will mainly collaborate with the Youth Information Office and youth workers with objectives orientated to the development of international activities. The tasks of the other volunteer will be more orientated towards initiating international exchanges with an emphasis on sports and leisure activities.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The volunteers will share a flat rented by the hosting organisation. They will receive a monthly budget for food and pocket money. The city will provide them with bicycles and they will have access to local buses.

Training during the activity

French language lessons are provided twice a week by a local association. The volunteers will participate in an on-arrival and a midterm training.
