ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND TRANSPORT
The volunteer will stay in Concordia’s house, next to the association’s office, with 4 other volunteers. Volunteers will have to adopt a collective life which means cooking and eating together, proposing group activities and participating in the associative events that we organise once a month in the volunteers’ house. There is little public transport in this area, it is possible to find bicycles and the volunteer will have access to the association’s car to go to work and do some shopping for the house.
TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY
We encourage volunteers to develop a personal project in addition to their initial missions with the support of the team. To facilitate their integration we propose a «foreign language teacher» and also different trainings such as «good communication for a better cooperation» which help the volunteers to express themselves about their experience and also to enrich it with non-formal education methods. The volunteer will also participate in a one-week training to become a trainer of young people in an international work camp during the summer. Concordia will also offer many other opportunities.
