Main activities:
- Languages workshops : every week, the volunteers organize an english workshop open to everyone! If you want to, you can also organize a workshop in another language.
- Forum “INTEX” : with other volunteers, you will be going to different places to promote international mobility to youngsters. You will be moving a lot in the south of France !

You are also encouraged to develop your own personal project on a topic that you like ! We will be there to give you tips and to help you implement it 🙂 You will have a tutor that will follow you during your volunteering and that will be there if you have any questions or difficulties during your stay. As an ESC volunteer, you will also be attending during your volunteering some training from the french National Agency : an on-arrival training during your first weeks and a mid-term training. Those trainings are mandatory and are organized and held by the National Agency. During those trainings, you will be able to meet other volunteers and experience some workshops related to intercultural dialogue as well as your expectations, tasks and rights as a volunteer.
VOLUNTEERS PROFILE
We expect you to be motivated in the projects that we carry and willing to develop your skills and live an incredible experience in France! As we are working on international mobility and interculturality, we also expect you to have an interest in those fields and to be open-minded. During your volunteering you will meet many people, from different backgrounds : European volunteers, youth workers, students, youngsters ! Our main activities are in french, so you will need to have a good level in French to be able to communicate with the youngsters (most of them do not speak english well). It will also be important if you would like to help us on other projects! Of course, english is useful as well to communicate with our European partners and to organize the english workshops. Also, the volunteering has to be a full-time activity. You can not have a paid job next to it. We expect you to be fully engaged in the activities we offer 🙂
