About the local hosting organization

The Unelles Community, Arts and Activities Centre was founded in 1976 in compliance with the 1901 law relating to associations in France. Since 2017, it has been accredited as a social and cultural centre covering the 'Coutances Mer et Bocage’ area, that is to say an area including both coastal and country, which includes 49 'communes' (council-run municipalities) and serves 50,000 inhabitants. Coutances is situated in the 'département' (administrative area), of the Manche in Normandy. It is part of a 'canton' (administrative district) which comprises 7 'collèges' (secondary schools for 11 to 16 year olds), 2 'maisons familiales' (rural vocational community schools), 6 'lycées' (high schools for 16-18 year olds) and 2 apprentice training centres. Their multisite facilities are open to the general public and provide activities, social and cultural services. Teams of both professionals and volunteers support inhabitants not only in their everyday needs but also by facilitating access to leisure activities, cultural development and personal fulfillment. They provide support for personal initiatives, boost involvement, development and value of individual, collective and citizen-targeted projects and initiatives. They encourage a participative approach which facilitates individual and personal expression. Aware of the need to 'live well together', they are attentive to all sections of society.

Presentation of the program

The aim of the Centre d'Animation Les Unelles association is to promote, support and encourage all social, cultural, sporting and educational initiatives for young people and adults in the Coutances area. For this the volunteer will be required to enrich this space with helping at different parts of the association (teenager’s areas, information and activities for young people and family-oriented activities) with their activities and sharing his/her experiences to young people. They will also propose their own activities for special occasions and for the holiday sections. He or she will also be involved in the work of AVRIL to promote international mobility.

About the accommodation

The volunteer will receive a weekly food allowance of 10 euros/day and will have access to a kitchen. There will be an additional allowance of 8 euros/day for pocket money. The volunteer will have an electrical bike to go around (close from sea side), to be more independent, and have easily access to the public transportation (train & bus). Very helpful to go around : the Carte Avantage Jeunes of SNCF (french railway) is given to get discounts on train transfers. Many activities (sports, arts, musics) are available at the center, according to the volunteer's desires.

About the leisure

The tutor will help the volunteer all along the project, helping with integration, understanding of the missions, etc… French class 1h-2h/week. There will be two obligatory seminaries with all international volunteers.

Requirements

The Participant profile: The volunteer will need to be: open-minded and tolerant, willing to share and exchange his or her life experiences, motivated and able to interact with the public, mainly young people (from 11 years old).
Deadline: 31/07/2025 12:00

Extra information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
