About the local hosting organization

Le GIP de Limoges (groupement d'intérêt public) est une structure publique dédiée au portage de projets et adossée au Rectorat de Limoges. Dans le cadre de la création des régions académiques depuis 2021, le GIP de Limoges est devenu le GIP centralisateur des projets ERASMUS+ pour la région académique Nouvelle Aquitaine. A ce titre, il porte le projet CES LEAD au nom de la région académique. La région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine est composée de trois académies : Bordeaux, Limoges et Poitiers. La rectrice de la région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine fixe les orientations stratégiques et assure la coordination des politiques éducatives de la région académique. Ses missions principales sont : - Accompagnement des établissements scolaires en leur fournissant des ressources pédagogiques, des outils pédagogiques, des formations pour les enseignants, ainsi que des conseils et un accompagnement dans le développement de leurs projets éducatifs - Promotion de l'innovation pédagogique en soutenant la mise en place de nouvelles pratiques pédagogiques, ainsi que la mise en œuvre de projets éducatifs novateurs. Les groupes cibles de la région académique Nouvelle-Aquitaine sont les élèves de tous les niveaux d'enseignement (de la maternelle au lycée et post-bac), les enseignants, les établissements scolaires, les parents d'élèves, ainsi que les partenaires institutionnels et économiques impliqués dans le domaine de l'éducation.

Presentation of the programme

Jonzac is a small town of 4,000 inhabitants in western France, located in the Charente-Maritime department. The town offers facilities such as a cinema and an aquatic center. Bordeaux about 1 hour away by train. Our vocational high school, labelled “High School for Health and Social Care Professions,” wel-comes around 200 students supported by a team of 20 teachers. The school holds several labels: E3D, Euroscol, and CES. It offers the following diplomas: • Vocational Baccalaureate in Personal Care, Support and Services (ASSP) • CAP in Senior Citizens' Assistance (AAGA) • CAP in Food Service Production and Service (PSR) The school promotes a strong project-based approach, co-teaching, and digital skills develop-ment. Numerous projects focus on sustainable development, health, and prevention. We would be delighted to welcome a volunteer and support their integration, while benefiting from their contribution to our European and intercultural openness.

About the accomodation

The European volunteers will be accommodated in furnished rooms (approx. 15 m² each) in an apartment separate from the high school, shared with language assistants. This ensures independence while living with other young people. A welcome kit will be provided. A self-service restaurant is available at a reasonable price, and a kitchen is accessible in the accommodation. The train station is 800 m away, with Bordeaux about 1 hour away. The beach is 40 km away.

About the leisure activities

The volunteers will support activities related to health, prevention, and well-being in collaboration with the school staff and nurse, including within the ULIS programme. They will contribute to student life (CVL, eco-delegates), promote engagement and environmental initiatives, and foster European citizenship and mobility awareness. The volunteers will also participate in communication and media projects, support modern language activities, and assist in organising European events (Europe Day, Erasmus Days, Language Week).
