EMMAUS ESCALQUENS - Fighting exclusion

This project is supported by the European Solidarity Corps programme. For now this project is only open for the following nationalities: France (2 participants), Spain (2), Belgium (2), Turkey (2), Czech Republic (2). The participation to the ESC volunteering teams is subjects to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en • volunteers do not have to pay any fee (not sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project; • volunteers need to enrol in the PASS, the European Solidarity Corps Portal ; Concordia France will organize their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project; • volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of 6€/day, once they arrive on the project in France; • volunteers will receive a financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established in accordance with their travel distance and upon the presentation of original tickets; • volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online through the portal. You need to submit a cover letter in order to apply to this workcamp! You will live with the compagnons, who may come from difficult backgrounds; they are spending a year in the Emmaüs facilities as part of their integration process. They have often experienced professional or social difficulties related to their age, health or unstable situation. You will share the same space as the compagnons, and therefore the same rules will apply to you. You will work mornings and afternoons (about 6-7 hours a day), help cleaning the space. Your days off will be Sunday and Monday. During the day, you will share the compagnons schedule, and you will have time to mingle with the other volunteers in the evenings. Visitors are not allowed outside working hours, and alcohol is forbidden on the premises without exception. Consider taking work clothes and shoes (waterproof if possible, in case of rain). Bring a warm sleeping bag and a good camping mat (for sleeping in the tent); nights can be chilly and wet. Tents will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. Do not hesitate to bring activities from home, such as photos, games, musical instruments, food etc. Foreigners from the European Union must bring their personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and all participants must bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise during the program, volunteers will need to cover all costs; they will be reimbursed upon their return to their home country.
