Contexto

This EVS project will involve 6 EVS volunteers from 6 different European countries. Each one of them will volunteer in one of the 6 local training centers for teenagers from the area of Sarthe, France. The local training centers are called: the “Maisons familiales rurales” or MFR (literary translated as the “rural family houses”). The volunteer will be hosted in one of the 6 Maisons; in the town of Bernay en Champagne. Volunteers will be regarded as full members of their team and will be included in the daily work of each center. They will have an opportunity to use and improve their own abilities: volunteers will develop their sense of initiative, gain skills and get new knowledges through organizing and realizing different activities for the MFR (workshops, courses, individual support, sports, games, plays, presentations, lectures). During the project, the volunteer will mainly be in touch with the young people that are hosted in the MFR, but not only. He will be encouraged to submit and implement his own project, with possibilities of partnership with other local organizations. The volunteer will act as an ambassador of his country, and thus will try to promote values such as diversity and intercultural actions. The purpose of the French is to develop a global approach of education, by using strictly formal, non-formal and informal learnings. Their practices are based on the training system which mixes training and work. In other words, a rhythm that allows the pupils to share between a period of study/training at the MFR and a period of work in a farm, /association or companies.
