Tarefas: We have nice experiences by hosting a volunteer at our place and we are willing to progress each year with the reception of a new young European volunteer. This reception is materialized by integrating to activities of the association. This project gives to our structure enrichment in the cultural exchanges, other views about our way to work and a new dynamic to the public and salaries of the association.

By integrating the animation and reception team the volunteer will contribute to realize the different activities of the association. The objectives are the following: to support the meetings among the young people who stay at the youth hostel by creating a dynamic around the places of collective life, to propose the mobility of the young people, to make them sensible to the European dimension and to take part in the construction of Europe.

The volunteer will be in contact with the youth who stay at the Youth Hostel and the youth who stay at the Foyer de Jeunes Travailleurs and with the employees. This proximity gives him/her the possibility to go further into his/her knowledge on the French culture, on the youth in general, on our professional practices (…). Moreover, the presence of the volunteer in our establishment will also be very beneficial for the youth and the employees because she/ he will be an example of successful mobility in Europe, thus that a source of important intercultural exchanges.

Moreover he/she will find his/her place in the daily works and he will be able to bring his views and his competences for the implementation of these various activities with the animation team.

1) Several places and tools are usable to implement the activities:

- The bar/cafeteria : is a convivial space of meetings and exchanges for our public. The organizers and the volunteer ensure the management and the animation with the young people. Every month, there is a meeting where a committee of inhabitants thinks about, propose and decide which activities they would prefer. It is thus also a privileged place for the course of these activities. The presence of the volunteer will be able to support the intercultural exchanges and the implication of the young people in projects, activities, various means of expression…

- The multi-media room : Have functioned for two years and the volunteer will be able to seize this tool to initiate projects with the young people by the help of new technologies : training of software and internet, making a web-site, work on the communication in connection with the realisation of posters, panels of information set of themes on the culture, health, Europe and The European Youth Programmes. The projects of realization of short films or photographs exhibition could be set up with the support of partners.

- Activity hall : The inhabitants of the Youth Hostel and the Foyer are able to enter and use a room equipped with lights and sound, which could be perfect for music shows, theatre, or cine club. The volunteer, depending on its abilities and interests, will be able to make her/his proposal or to follow an existing project.

- A touristical information area : for people welcomed in the Youth Hostel, but also for the inhabitants of the Foyer, has to be managed by the EVS. The new sight of the volunteer will also help to rediscover our touristical heritage.

Moreover, participation in many different local events is scheduled: European day, Associations' meeting, information day about EVS…
The volunteer will be an example of European mobility for the youth, the local collectivity and our different partners. This could give another interest for the EVS and Youth Program. A partnership with these organizations can be considered, depending on the EVS wills and interests, and on the local initiatives.
Besides, a work in partnership with the organizations of reception of the conglomeration tarbaise: MJC of Aureilhan and MJC of Odos is envisaged, according to the skills and the centres of interests of every volunteer, their envy and the local initiatives.

2) The reception of the volunteer will take place in several steps :

In the firsts months the volunteer will likely incorporate the activities already scheduled with the animation team.
This period should allow him/her to have a good sight of the Youth hostel and other services' functioning.
Exchanges and links that will occurred after the meeting with the young users will help the volunteer to develop its capacities to express him/herself, and to have a better learning in French.
Moreover, French curses especially for foreigners in a professional structure will help him/her to have a better understanding of French language.

In a second time, we would like the volunteer to set up his/her own project. In the past EVS, one realized an exhibition about EVS in a big project with others associations, about European citizenship. Another one realized a short film with the users of the organization and Youth Hostel. These different projects allowed the volunteers to build new skills while working on what they liked. These projects always gave a lot of satisfaction to the EVS.

Depending on the projects, we'll try to help the volunteer as much as possible, giving them some curses relating to their projects : Video curses with local partner, colloquium about Europe…
Any subject, tools and partnerships can be envisaged.
Possibility to carry on with the past projects would also be a way to keep on giving some credits to the past EVS. Exhibition about EVS could be shown and animated in many others associations of the area in order to introduce EVS to other young people…

3) Example of time schedule :
The volunteer will work 5 days over 7, 35 hours a week, with 2 consecutive days off.
Planning for example: Monday and Wednesday from 3h00pm to 7h00pm and 7h30pm to 10h30pm, Tuesday and Thursday 10h00 and 12h00am and 1 to 6pm, Friday 2h00 to 7h00pm, 7h30pm to 9h30pm.
Of course, this planning is discussed with the volunteer at its arrival, and can be modified, depending on the wishes of the volunteer. Missions gave to the EVS will depend on its own capacities and skills.

Example of a day :
Monday: 3h00pm to 4h30pm Contact with touristical partners, management of the documentation ; 4h00pm to 6h00pm Work on the projects ; 6h00pm to 7h00pm reception of new inhabitants ; 7h30pm to 10h00pm Animation at the bar.
