Resumo: The Music School is located in the close surroundings of the capital of Luxembourg:
It is easily accessible through public transport and a 5 minute busride away from a major shopping mall.
A hospital is also within walking distance.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a landlocked country in Western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. It has two principal regions: the Oesling in the north as part of the Massif des Ardennes, and the Gutland ("good land") in the south. As of 2011, the country had a population of 513 303 (2011) in an area of 2,586 square kilometers. A representative democracy with a constitutional monarch, it is ruled by a grand-duke.
As of 2011, the largest and capital city, had a population of 94,034, which was almost three times the population of the country's second most populous municipality. The city's metropolitan population, including that of surrounding villages, is 103,973.

The country has a highly developed economy. In 2011, Luxembourg was ranked as having the second highest GDP in the world, with the city having developed into a banking and administrative centre. In the 2011 Mercer worldwide survey of 221 cities, Luxembourg was placed first for personal safety while it was ranked 19th for quality of living. Luxembourg is a seat of several institutions and agencies of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank, and the European Investment Fund.
Luxembourg does not have a clearly defined climate: it varies between the oceanic climate of the Atlantic zone (small seasonal differences and mild, wet winters) and the continental climate of the eastern European plains (strong seasonal differences, harsh winters and wet summers). The oceanic influence brings rain in every season, while the continental influence brings a biting dry cold in the winter. The average temperature ranges between 0°C in January and 17°C in July. The difference in temperature between the north and south rarely exceeds 2°C.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is characterised by the recognition and use of three official languages: Luxembourgish, French and German. The importance of French and German is nor just political, but represents the national identity, born of the co-existence between the Romance and Germanic worlds. By maintaining these two languages, Luxembourg remains the symbol of a meeting place between Romance and Germanic culture, as well as many other cultures nowadays.

What we offer to volunteers in terms of Service and learning opportunities:
Our aim is to reinforce the professional knowledge of volunteers by developing some qualities and abilities which will be useful in their future professional career - especially linguistic, organisational and relational skills - in the rich and diversified surrounding of a cultural organisation dedicated to the youth. In addition, the direct involvement in multicultural activities with young people will help develop their ability to adhere to a project, to work as a team and to supervise groups of young people

Our EVS projects are expected to offer an informal learning experience to the volunteers, giving them a real opportunity to practise and develop their linguistic, organisational and relational skills, and to acquire valuable cultural and social skills. Working with young people coming from different countries will allow the volunteers to assess the extent of the communication and integration efforts required to unite and supervise groups of young people coming from different European cultures and will provide them with a valuable intercultural learning experience.

Perfil: The volunteers should be motivated and autonomous, and should feel an interest for music and for organisational and relationship tasks, as well as for pedagogical and multi-cultural activities with young people from different countries aged between 15 and 25.
They should have good social skills and no fear of communication with young people. Since we work with a multicultural target group, the volunteer should be open to learn and use new languages and to experience intense intercultural exchange. Basic knowledge in the following languages would be of a certain advantage to the volunteers' activities: French, German and English.
Age: 17 - 30 anos

Tarefas: We expect our EVS projects to make provision for an active involvement of the volunteers in the promotion, organisation and supervision of projects related to youth. The proposed tasks will not be entrusted to the volonteers with the idea of a job substitution or a working load relief for the team in charge of these activities, but with the aim of a profitable "peer collaboration", and more precisely with the prospect of enriching the pedagogical means and initiatives aimed at the youth through the dynamism and the innovative ideas of young people coming from abroad.

The activities in which the volunteers could be involved and the activities the volunteers could create in our organisation:
We expect our future EVS projects to make provision for entrusting the volunteers with specific tasks - according to their skills and preferences - related to one or more of the activities hereunder aimed at youth with an international or European dimension provided for in the activity programme of the organization and its Music School :
- May 2013: "National Youth Wind Orchestra Luxembourg" : working session in France (Haute-Savoie) with concerts in France and in Luxembourg.
- May 2013: “European Competition for Concert Band – Fanfare Orchestra – Brass Band” at the Philharmonie Luxembourg.
- July 2013: "European Youth Wind Orchestra": working session in Luxembourg with concerts in Luxembourg and The Netherlands.
- July 2013: "Semaine Internationale de Musique", organized in the frame of the EU-programme “Youth in Action” with partner groups coming from about six other European countries.
- November 2013: "European Competition for Young Soloists for flute, trumpet and chamber music” at the Music Conservatoire of Luxembourg
In short, the volunteers may be involved in the following tasks related to one or more of these youth related projects:
- promotion and mediatization of the projects,
- communication and collaboration with foreign partners (press, federations, organizers, etc.),
- making arrangements for lodging, rehearsals, concerts, etc,
- elaboration of the daily schedule of the project,
- elaboration of a youth related cultural programme (trips, talks, visits),
- promotion activities to arouse the interest of participants and public,
- ongoing contacts and support to help participants solve any problem before and after the project,
- pedagogical supervision of the young participants to solve any problem,
- favour perfect integration into the group,
- pedagogical assessment of the results of the projects.
During the first weeks, the volunteers will be progressively integrated into the organization-team and into the different activities and branches run by the Music School. After this first integration period, the volunteers will be fully involved in the activities specifically related to the above mentioned projects.
