Young Entrepreneurs Rejuvenate Rural France Part 1 - 2017

The project “Young Entrepreneurs rejuvenate rural France - (YERRF)” is looking for five partner countries to form a partnership in order to develop and advance this project. The project will take place from 10/06/2017 - 10/11/2017 in the rural village of Brossac in the south west of France. It will require 5 young people between the age 18-30 one from each of the different partner countries.

The EVS volunteers will be involved totally in all aspects of this project and will benefit, not just, from an international cultural-exchange experience in France but, also from informal learning about project management and all the subjects of the proposed projects workshops.

Whilst the project is based in the rural village of Brossac the need to go and visit schools, universities, organisations, government agencies and bodies, dealing with unemployment in the region, will mean, that EVS participants will discover the wider region of south west France.

The EVS volunteers will be working alongside the team at La Giraudiere which includes both local and international LG Volunteers from countries outside of the euro zone.

They will be involved in
Creating and publishing material about the workshops.
Marketing the workshops
Producing and presenting of entrepreneurial workshops held at La Giraudiere,
On-site at Schools, Universities, unemployment agencies, educational open days, career exhibitions and employment fetes.
Finding and liaising with universities and other government organisations as partners in the workshops.
The logistics of Organising on-site visits to present the workshops.
The day to day running of the La Giraudiere. ( 1 day per week for each volunteer) learning informally how a Non-profit NGO operates.
