Resumo: The hosting organization is a non-profit, apolitical, active since 1985. It brings together and coordinates the experience of many retired executives and volunteers from a wide range of environments (companies, financial institutions, government agencies, military, ...) to put their experience to others. Our work is mainly oriented towards helping small and medium enterprises, to social organizations, to young independent and especially to youth through programs such as the European Voluntary Service.

We are active in the EVS program since 1997, during which we have developed, with the help of the services of the European Commission, a pilot project to send 20 young Belgian and French to England and Ireland. Thereafter, from 2000, we joined the sending and receiving programmes with bilateral projects managed by the Bureau International de la Jeunesse (National Agency). We are presently accredited by the European Commission and the Ministry of the French Community (Bureau International de la Jeunesse) as supporting organization for sending and hosting projects (2018-1-BE04-ESC12-002392).

So far we have sent more than 60 volunteers and we have hosted about hundred volunteers.

The organization is an association that currently includes thirty retired members from various disciplines whose general mission is to put their skills and experience to young people, SMEs, associations and institutions with a social purpose and offer them a precious help.
Our work can provide people, businesses and private and public institutions, both in Belgium and abroad, assistance and guidance in the administrative, commercial and industrial areas by providing a team of volunteers and experienced consultants.

Within a team of 6 members is in charge of ECS either in a coordination program of hosting projects or in a sending program of young volunteers.
The purpose of this participation is to help young people acquiring through ECS, a relative experience of autonomy, making contact with reality on the ground after school, better proficiency of a foreign language and a better understanding of their capabilities and thus provide them a valuable asset for their future work and family life.
We are willing to cooperate with any foreign organization active in ECS.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
- If possible basic knowledge of French
- The interest of (the) volunteer for a social purpose mission, centered on the elderly.
This profile is assessed jointly by the coordinating and host Org -based on the application file and on a telephone interview with the candidates (coordinating Org in charge).

Tarefas: The Elderly people is loosing his autonomy in performing activities of daily life, that is to say, to wash, dress, move, eat ... These losses of autonomy are compensated by a multidisciplinary team comprising nurses, aid caregiver, physiotherapists, speech therapist, animators, ....
This multidisciplinary team supports the Elderly. Thus, the volunteer will be included in a professional team and will be especially affected in principle to animation tasks.
However, the orientation of activities will be determined according to his abilities on proposal of the tutor
The integration of European volunteers in this team focuses primarily on:

- To meet the demand of young European volunteers willing to commit to serving others and in particular the elderly,
- To develop an intergenerational project and through animation activities and daily contacts,
- At some times, to accompany residents (elderly) in the performance of activities of daily life.
- To live a human experience through an institution that integrate social, psychological and medical care of seniors
- They can make their own contribution to the project particularly in the field of animation
- To share their experience with staff and local volunteers and thus provide a "more" in the Foyer.
-
This allows more time for each resident and thus create a climate of "security" and serenity for residents.
In any case, the participation of these volunteers is not a substitute for local employment.
In no case, they will perform activities assigned to nurses.
.

The volunteer tasks are mainly focused on the "relational" through:
- Animation activities (representing 70% of the time) such as: games, singing, painting on silk …
- Support of the elderly for meals, walks, ... (about 20% of the time)
Volunteers will eventually develop initiatives based on their personal experience as long as these initiatives are matching the goals set by the teaching team. Their presence will help diversify and to find new approaches, based on another culture. This will be beneficial for the local staff, for the residents and the volunteers themselves.
A typical day is running between 1000 and 1800 Hr with working hours of up to 6 Hr per day, 5 days a week. Two days of rest are foreseen each week.
TWO weeks of leave per semester is expected.
Daily contact with the tutor is possible; a weekly coordination is taking place within the animation team and an evaluation meeting is held every month.
Volunteers participate in debriefing sessions and in the preparation’s programs for animation.
Volunteers are accomodated outside the Foyer, in rooms located in a building housing student nurses. There they will be in regular contact with youth coming from Belgium, France, and from various other countries as well as within the home, they can meet other volunteers from foreign countries.

A period of two weeks is reserved for the integration of volunteers:
- In the local life environment
A period of intensive learning can be provided depending on the level of knowledge in French and may be followed by regular weekly classes in a school or a local language learning center. The schedule of service will be adjusted accordingly.
