Resumo: The hosting organization was founded in 2013 in a village on the occasion of its first international project. Since this year, several European exchanges (Erasmus+) have been hosted by the delegation, bringing together many people from around the world and the local population.
All the exchanges were highly successful. In 2015, the municipality offered us to use the premises of the school, which had to close due to a shortage of children and the proximity of the school in Le Buisson, to host young people coming from elsewhere. Nowadays, the organization located the volunteers hosting centre in the centre of this village a small vibrant and welcoming village of only 300 inhabitants, which is attached to the larger rural community. It permitted the organization to expand its activities by proposing other local development and grassroot actions: over this period of time, more than 40 international voluntary workcamps were hosted by different villages.
The association works with the National Movement towards:
the voluntary participation of all in social life at local, national and international levels,
a local development respectful of the individual, the environment and cultural heritage,
intergenerational, intracultural, intercultural and international meetings and exchanges,
tangible peace building actions,
reflection, practices and projects in the field of environmental education in line with a sustainable development approach.
The association is also expanding the action of the National Movement supporting the momentum in favour of rural life. We are trying to allow as many people as possible to actively contribute to the development of their region (cultural heritage, heritage sites, environment, social life), take part in national and international mobility programs (short--, medium and long term volunteering), have access to diverse cultural and intercultural practices (territory development, presence of international volunteers, European exchanges), benefit from the resulting dynamic atmosphere, which encourages people to get involved in other projects and actions and connect with people, create new openings and broaden their horizons.
The main objectives of our actions are:
To host local youth on civic service missions and volunteers under the European Solidarity Corps program, to help develop our association and promote the different activities we carry out in our region.
To support already existing activities of the association and create new ones to maintain the link with local people through participating, organizing and managing intercultural and working activities.
To develop our short term projects in the region (workcamps, international exchanges, training sessions, hosting groups …) in order to enable international experience close to home to local youth to have and to gain more autonomy through intercultural and interpersonal learning as well as the experience of collective life.
To boost the promotion of volunteering to the local youth (training sessions, forums, presentations in secondary schools, local missions community aid projects for young people youth information centres, …) to inform them about international mobility, civic engagement and volunteering.
On a broader level, through our actions, we are working towards breaking down barriers between different publics, and working on the projects where the experience of living and working together contributes to the fight against social exclusion.
One of the values of our association is developing partnerships with different municipalities of the region , as well as with public institutions and local associations. Each project is designed in partnership with a local organisation and our involvement provides support to a local action by bringing the international component and our popular education values.
Perfil: Age: 18-30
We wish to welcome people from different backgrounds in keeping with our social equity values. Our aim is to enable everyone to develop skills, but also to pass on their own knowledge to the others. We believe this will help each person to see him or herself as an individual within a group and to grow in respect and consideration for others.
We expect our volunteers to have a good understanding of our overall project and to be motivated to be part of a team. We regard volunteering as an exchange between a volunteer who offers his/her time and energy to a collective project and a host community that in turn provides the volunteer with learning and testing ground as well as a space for personal development.
It is important for us, that is why we await from the volunteers to invest themselves into technical part of the work, by bringing energy and technical knowledges, as well as, to invest into animation and intercultural part of the activities by bringing ideas and organisational abilities.
Nevertheless, the most important element for our association remains the motivation and the willingness of the volunteers to invest themselves wholeheartedly in the organization.
