And this will be also the opportunity for his perfection of french language.

The volunteers of museum dedicate one day per month in the museum for necessary works, especially for maintaining the ships. This will be an opportunity for the volunteer to meet former sailors, they will share with him their know-how. The volunteer will learn something from the competences of the sailors, as how to tie knots. And then he will use these new knowledges for some demonstrations or workshops with the schools and leisure centers.

The museum hosts every year a “Canal class”, in which pupils of a primary school (6-11 years old) discover the topic of shipbuilding during the whole year, through different activities (history, scientific experiences, litterature, ..). The volunteer will participate to receive the group of children, to organise the activities and the going-out together with the members of AMBO.

Also the volunteer will present an aspect of the navigation in his country in the museum.

Finally, he will participate to the organisation of a collective project about Europe, together with other EVS volunteers in the city.

Depending on the personality of the volunteer, he will have more or less autonomy to propose some new actions for museum if he wants to : it is also important for the museum to have somebody who will bring new ideas and also new points of view.
The hosting of european volunteers in the city is coordinated by other organization, and this is this association which is in charge of the lodging of the volunteer. In consequence, he will have a day-to-day contact with other volunteers and will participate to the projects organized in commun.

On the other hand, the museum has been hosting since the summer 2009 Erasmus students on placement, and wishes to continue this experience every summer. This will be another opportunity for the volunteer to make some contacts and exchanges with people from other european countries.
