Description
The project is located in the heart of Suisse-Normande, a popular region for nature sports enthusiasts (kayak, bike, horse riding, paragliding, etc.). The mission is presented as an awareness of the discovery and challenges of Europe. It revolves around three towns: Clécy, Cesny-les-Sources, and Thury-Harcourt. Several partners gravitate around this project such as: twinning committees, elementary schools, middle school Europe Clubs, youth /children structures for collective animation, tourist office, and retirement home. A Europe Day is planned at the end of the school year. This public event will include a number of workshops and events over a week. It will be an opportunity to highlight the project and the actions that the volunteer will have carried out with different audiences throughout the year. During the summer, we will host the youth center of Grossostheim (Ger) on the territory. The volunteer will participate in the organization and will be able to co-host this meeting.
