Cultur'ART diversity

The KA1 project we would like to develop:
For the Round 1 in 2017, we want to present a KA1 project in cultural field. We would like to build a project in cultural field because there are few opportunities for short term EVS in this field. Actually, we mentor many young adults, who have many skills and capacities (playing guitar, photography, drawing, dance, theatre…). However, they are not aware of their capacities. Thus, this short term EVS would allow the youngsters to reveal themselves. And a lot of capacities and skills would be revealed by the different missions during the mobility. Moreover, the volunteers would meet professional and passionate persons, who could share their competences and their tips and this would create a real exchange: an exchange of competences and especially, a human exchange. And even, they would meet new people from the hosting country and from all over the world and discover their culture. In addition, the cultural project of the hosting association could gather young and older people and people from all social classes: this would create an intergenerational society and a social diversity.
Moreover, thanks to the animation of workshops and the sharing of their competences, the volunteers would gain confidence and self-esteem. This project would improve the hosting association, the public and the volunteer.
According to the profile of the young adults we mentor, an EVS in cultural field would be a great first experience in an intercultural environment. The cultural field has its own language and this is the reason why it doesn’t need a high level in English: the language skills is the principal fear of the volunteers and Parcours le Mond IDF would like to decrease this fear and to show that the language is not an obstacle to live a mobility.
During their European Voluntary Service, the volunteer can do a lot of missions according to the need of the hosting organization. Theses missions can be:
- Organization of cultural events/ festival (music, comics, theatre, dance, painting…)
- Organization of workshops (theatre, draw, photos, music,..)
- Organization of intercultural meetings
- Organization of workcamp
- Animation of cultural week-end
- Language and intercultural workshop
- Help the team in administration tasks
- Develop the communication skills of the hosting organization (website, facebook…)
- Promotion of the EVS
- Promotion of the EU and citizenship
