The core objective of the volunteering project proposed by the town hall of Vienne (30 km from Lyon, France) is to promote international mobility among young people as a mean to gain new competences and grow personally as well as professionally. The mission will take place in the Youth Information Centre of the city. The volunteer will share information about mobility programs with students or young workers, aged between 14 and 30 years old, putting emphasis on getting involved in such opportunities in order to develop a global mindset and perspective as well as sensitivity to cultural difference. His tasks will include giving oral presentations in classrooms, discussing with youngsters coming to the office, helping in the redaction of resumes or cover letters, etc. The volunteer will also get to share his own culture, conduct English workshops for young people willing to practice the language (English Meetings) and work as a language assistant in highschool.
