About the local hosting organization

Le Club pour l'UNESCO Jean Laurain Metz a été créé en janvier 1991. C'est une association agréée éducation populaire qui oeuvre dans le champ de compétence de l'Agence des Nations unies: science, éducation et culture. Dès son origine, il s'est orienté vers la construction européenne, la citoyenneté, en particulier par un travail avec les PECO, pays d'Europe centrale et orientale, avant leur adhésion à l'Union, alors que la majorité des Clubs UNESCO français travaillaient esentiellement Nord- Sud, dans les champs de l'éducation et de la solidarité. Dès sa création, il a organisé des rencontres de jeunes en Europe, sur différents thèmes, sous différentes formes. A l'époque il n'existait pas de programme européen pour la jeunesse, hormis le programme Erasmus pour les étudiants. C'est dans le cadre des échanges de l'OFAJ que le Club UNESCO inscrivait ses actions, obtenait les financements. Il a accompagné la naissance des programmes Jeunesse de la CEE. Sur proposition d'Edith CRESSON, commissaire européenne auprès de Jean LAURAIN, Président du Club UNESCO de Metz, député, représentant le Parlement français au Conseil d'administration de l'OFAJ, le Club UNESCO a accueilli à Metz un jeune allemand dans le dispositif expérimental de préfiguration du service volontaire européen durant 12 mois. Depuis le Club a accueilli, envoyé et coordonné des volontaires européens sans discontinuer. Il a ensuite organisé des séminaires à l'arrivée et à mi parcours pour l'Agence française Jeunesse .

Presentation of the program

The volunteer will support the facilitation of workshops, training sessions, and animation activities for young people, with a focus on youth empowerment and capacity building. They will be involved in projects that promote peace, sustainability, solidarity, mobility, and environmental awareness. The volunteer will work closely with the Club’s team and partners to co-create meaningful activities under the scope of European citizenship and active participation. They will also have the opportunity to contribute to and participate in cross-border initiatives with partners in the Greater Region (Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany). Additionally, the volunteer will be encouraged to take initiative and develop their own project in collaboration with young members of the Club.

About the accommodation

Accommodation will be provided. The volunteer will receive a monthly bus ticket, as well as pocket money and food allowance.

About the leisure

During the volunteering period, the volunteer will participate in two national-level trainings: an on-arrival training and a mid-term reflection seminar. These sessions will help the volunteer engage with their experience, reflect on their progress, and develop new skills. Additionally, other training opportunities will be available to further support the volunteer’s learning and personal growth.

Requirements

The Participant profile: A motivated person who loves working in a multicultural environment and is passionate about giving back to the community.

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).
