Resumo: The host organization has been created in 1977, thanks to the involvement of passionate people, parents and neighbours, for whom it was important to offer children a new space of freedom as an alternative to the technical progress and modernity they judged socially unfair.

The adventure playground is open to all young people, from 5 to 26 years old. It is a place dedicated to the self-development and the community life, a place where children can learn and experiment without pressure.
Nearly every day, between 10 and 60 children gather there to share a lot of activities: outdoor games, table games, sheds building, do-it-yourself, cooking workshops, artistic workshops, and gardening. All these activities must help them to develop their autonomy, responsibility, critical sense and solidarity.

There is no obligation to be active and there is no result/production to reach in the adventure playground. The most important is to share and to exchange with the other ones.
In order to avoid any exclusion for socio-economical reason, the access to the adventure playground is totally free of charge.
The playground is recognised as youth center by the French community of Belgium. It follows a mission of education to an active and responsible citizenship. Seven youth workers are employed by the organisation, most of them at part time job.

Perfil: Our project is open to anybody motivated by volunteering and who wishes to be involved in our organisation and work with children and youngsters, regardless to their nationality, religion, believes, diploma, professional experience.
We expect the volunteer to want to build an atmosphere of confidence and security with the youngsters; be ready to involve him/herself in the several activities we do; be able to work together with the staff; be interested in the topic of young people entertainment; agree with our philosophy; to be enthusiast and bring new ideas. It’s also important to be very flexible, wishful to implement workshops and activities for children and youngsters and to able to take initiatives!

Age: 17-30

Tarefas: In our project, the volunteer will be all the time in contact with children and young people. S/he will launch, lead and follow several activities. These ones can be various and will depend of his/her ideas, wishes and skills. They will always suppose a democratic participation of the children who have the right to choose and make proposals.
Usual activities in the Playground are: Artistic workshops (painting, sculptures, theatre…); Creative/participative workshops (cooking, sewing, handicraft, shed buildings, storytelling…); Games (outdoor games, sport games, table games…); Outdoor activities (nature discovering, gardening…).

The volunteer will also help us in the maintenance of the Playground (small reparations, painting, grass cutting) and may give a support for some administrative tasks. S/he will also help us when we’ll participate in special events and/or organise punctual projects with other partner organisations: carnival, local fest, shed symposium, international work camp.

During winter time the Playground is open six days per week:
Monday 15-18 pm;
Tuesday 15-18 pm;
Wednesday 13-18 pm;
Thursday 15-18pm;
Friday 15-20 pm;
Saturday 10-17pm.

During the school holidays it is open 5 days per week, from Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 17 pm.

Horário: The volunteer will have a very flexible schedule: our working times depend on children free time from school: during the winter there are more “dead periods” instead of in the summer when the activities increase and we have A LOT, A LOT to do!!!
