INITIATIVE ET DEVELOPPEMENT CITOYEN

La Rouatiere

Souilhanels, France

Description

Are you looking for a new experience to learn more about education and international mobility? We are looking for 2 volunteers from sept 2024 to june 2025. During these 10 months, volunteers will be able to develop small personal projects related to non-formal education, promotion of international mobility and interculturality, social and language exchange, communication, web radio... This will give them an experience of learning and developing in autonomy, and gain more self-confidence. Each year the activities carried out are always a little different, it all depends on which personal projects the volunteers develop. During some weekends and school holidays, volunteers will be hosted by IDC, where they will have the chance to receive trainings and support for their projects. Also, they will share with volunteers from other countries and projects! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0jfaoo0ula2lozwrum67v/La-Rouati-re-Infopack-2024.docx.pdf?rlkey=v6ylt46eiwa3wuimiglt8t34b&st=b3r0yrkn&dl=0

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers live at the lycée. They can spend their free time in or off the site. They will be off the weekends (from Friday noon) and during the school holidays they will be hosted and accompanied by IDC (personal projects). Therefore they can go during the school holidays and weekends, to also enjoy the social life with other volunteers. The transports related to the activities will be covered. If they go away for vacation, they will receive a budget to eat as well as restaurant tickets. They will have access to some health or administrative services in Castelnaudary, 5km from the school.
