About the local hosting organization

The Maison de l’Europe de Tours-Centre Val de Loire is a non political organisation created in 1987 which aim is to inform citizens about EU actions and European cultures. It is supported by various partners such as the European Commission, the Regional council, Tours city, etc. The Maison de l’Europe de Tours is one of the 38 Maisons de l’Europe of France and is part of the Fédération française des Maisons de l’Europe (FFME) and also part of the Maisons de l’Europe du Grand Ouest et de Centre network. Since 2007 the Maison de l’Europe de Tours is a European Direct Center and since 2012 has certification regarding non formal youth and Adult education. We reach many type of public through our events (european coffees, debates, screen projections, Europe Day, exhibits on european subjects, etc). In our premises, we offer to the public a center of information and documentation as well as exhibits and other pedagogical tools we lend or rent. Moreover, we go in schools, vocationnal training institutions and associations to talk about chosen european subjects. Often, we inform youngsters about european mobility programs of the EU through presentations and games (giant puzzle, treasure hunt about european cultures and Histories, quiz). We also organize formation like CV and motivation letter workshops. We also helps projects holders (youngster groups, NGOs, SMEs, etc…) to find relevant european programs to fund and implement their projects.

Presentation of the program

The « Maison de l’Europe » of Tours is looking for one motivated and dynamic volunteer who can help us to promote European citizenship and European union and its values to the citizens of the city and the region. You will have the following tasks: organizing and animating workshops/events on different themes about Europe; promoting the different mobility programs to the French youth (in schools, forums, festivals); talking about the experiences you will make during your volunteering; taking care of our social networks; bringing new ideas to the organization and developing your own project, creating animations around your country and culture; Front office activity for the general public. You will also be involved in different projects with our partner organizations here in Tours. The mission will start in September in our old place, but we will move to a new location in city center and with other organizations in Automne.

There will be a monthly budget for food and pocket money and we will provide you with a local transport card, or a bike, and a reduction card for the trains (if possible according to your age).

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
