Constitucional del Callao; se encuentra ubicada al norte de Lima, a
70 Km., del centro de la ciudad cuenta con una poblacin de
aproximadamente 250, 000 habitantes, con los servicios bsicos
precariamente cubiertos.
Dentro de los mas de 120 diferentes asentamientos humanos que
cuenta el distrito de Ventanilla se viene observando la proliferacin
de consumo de drogas entre los jvenes, el crecimiento de las
pandillas juveniles, barras bravas y embarazos en adolescentes
La falta de acceso al empleo y una educacin de calidad as como a
una buena atencin de la salud pblica hace que lo convierta en uno
de los distritos ms pobres de Lima y Callao.
Programa Internacional de Voluntariado Jvenes de Buena Voluntad,
es una institucin que viene trabajando en diversos asentamientos
humanos del distrito de Ventanilla, los cuales tienen grandes
limitaciones y problemticas de diferentes dimensiones, pero que a
pesar de esta situacin se tiene el deseo de salir adelante
mediante el trabajo comunal y a travs de sus propios esfuerzos e

Descripcin de la asociacin acogida:
Agrupacin I.D.E.A.S. (Integracin Democrtica Estudiantil Abocada

Ciudad de Reconquista sobre la problemtica estudiantil del mismo,
que deciden juntarse para pelear el Centro de Estudiante y de esa
forma contribuir a una mejor calidad educativa para todos.
Pasado ya dos aos de su nacimiento, deciden extender sus fronteras
hacia toda la localidad, considerando que la base de la educacin
comienza en la familia. Por este motivo, venimos trabajando en los

proyecto como una buena oportunidad de interactuar el intercambio
cultural con el trabajo social voluntario.

LTV 01 TEACHING
LTV O1 A Regular Teaching
Education is an important tool in development. Teaching spoken
English, basic Maths, Health and Hygiene
awareness, Environmental education and conducting extra curricular
activities with local school children can
be a very rewarding experience.
You will be working in a Kannada Medium School, which is lacking in
resources and/or English teaching staff. One of the important aims of

35
this project is to support the staff in the classroom and to bring an
international
dimension to learning. Your tasks will be to assist with English
language learning using creative
teaching methods to encourage and to develop learning skills in the
students. You will also assist with extra-curricular activities, inspiring
children to learn new languages and learn about new cultures.
You will be developing teaching methods and passing this information
(through the Final Evaluation/Report) to future volunteers with a
view to create long-term improvements to the educational model.
The volunteers should bring creative ideas to initiate new activities in
the school, for example, environmental, organizational or computer
education. You have to love children, as you will be surrounded by
them everyday. If you have many ideas in teaching different kinds of
activities such as games, songs, arts and crafts or sports and
athletics to children then this type of project is for you! You will be
teaching a variety of subjects depending on your personal interests
and skills. Volunteers should have a good level of spoken English and
some knowledge
in teaching children will be useful.
Note: Please note that the project will not run between the Months of
March until May.
Three weeks in October are winter holidays and depending on the
school there are also
holidays in December. During these months, volunteers are
encouraged to take part in a
summer and/or a winter holiday camp.
LTV O1 B Orphan Children Teaching
Volunteers have the chance to work in orphanages, by supporting the
staff in the project with the daily care of orphan children. The work is
varied and so you must be flexible in tackling your work. The work
could involve rehabilitation, education and supporting the orphan
children to return and participate within mainstream life.
The work might also include cleaning activities, cooking, gardening,
playing with the children in the evening, helping with homework,
teaching and singing.
A creative approach to work will be useful - If you have many ideas in
teaching different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts and
crafts or sports and athletics to children, then this type of project is
for you! You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you
should be prepared to undertake a variety of tasks.
The Info sheet will have more information regarding the individual
projects with schedules, and
activities.

36
LTV O1 C Ethnic Tribes Teaching
There are several ethnic minorities in India. NGOs are working
towards community development to prepare them to participate and
compete within mainstream society. The primary focus of NGOs is to
help the tribal communities cope with issues they are facing - such as
education problems, lack of adequate medical care and isolation.
Working in this field requires a high grade of flexibility, and
volunteers must try get involved directly with these people and with
the staff of the local project.
Most projects in this field are located in rural and remote areas, near
to or within the tribal communities. You will be working with tribal
communities and so you should be prepared for very basic living
conditions. There will also be a strong language barrier which will be
a challenge for any one working in this field.
A prior experience or a good knowledge of these kinds of situations is
appreciated.
Most of the development work carried out by NGOs working towards
community development projects is based on education and
awareness. Therefore the volunteers will be required to teach in most
of the projects where they work with tribal children. So an interest in
teaching and a love for children is important. However, you could also
be supporting the staff in the daily running of the orphanage, when
the children go to their normal school.
A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the
opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to
take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to
undertake a variety of tasks. If you have many ideas of teaching
different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts and
crafts or sports and athletics to children, then this type of project is
for you!
LTV O1 D Street Children Teaching
Many NGOs and local initiatives in India work for the welfare of street
children or working children, and
FSL-India is one of them. The aim is to take these children away from
the streets and from their working
place in order to give them a chance to live a decent and balanced life.
By placing them in centres,
boarding schools and or day-care shelters, the children return to the
regular schooling system and/or to train
them in vocational activities to give them skills that will help them to
find a decent job and keep them away from exploitation.
Much of the development work in street children projects is based on
education known also as alternative education. Therefore the

37
volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects where they
work with street children. So an interest in teaching and a love for
children is essential in this project, like all teaching projects. Other
work activities will involve supporting the staff in the daily running of
the schools.
A creative approach to work will be useful and you will have the
take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to
undertake a variety of tasks.
In some cases the volunteer will be required to go amidst the tent
community to raise awareness of the teaching program, gain interest
and collect children.
If you have many ideas in teaching different kinds of activities such
as games, songs, arts and crafts or sports and athletics to children,
then this type of project is for you!
Note: These projects are running all year long

LTV O2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
LTV O2 A Sea Turtle Conservation
For the last 15 years, the Sea Turtle population has been under
threat from fishing and egg predation by locals. Three species of the
protected Sea turtle are nesting on Indias West coast and all of them
are endangered species. As part of this project, FSL-India is working
along a 60 kilometre stretch of beach in the south and north
of Kundapur, Karnataka. The work is focused on sea turtle protection
and conservation. The work involves surveys, data gathering and
analysis, awareness raising amongst the local community and within
schools, harbours and fishing communities. You will also be required
to build hatcheries and temporary information centres, as well as
design and create promotional material. Please note: This project is
seasonal and starts in August and runs until February, only for six
months. The work requires high motivation and some knowledge in
this particular field is useful. Please remember in the first month and
the last month the majority of the work is
preparation and report making. There is NO guarantee you will see
sea turtles, hatchlings or eggs whilst working on this project.
LTV O2 B Environmental Education
This project has been set up by FSL-India in association with local
NGOs. The aim is to educate lower economic and social groups, the
local community, youth and children about environmental concerns,
good practices and present situations. This project is usually run in
rural areas where there has not been much development.
As a volunteer in this project, you have to develop and support

38
creative education in nature conservation and to educate the local
community on the economic and social benefits of environmental
protection and nature conservation. You will be visiting schools,
colleges, and youth groups and organizing environmental educational
workshops. There is also a chance to work with the local community
where our volunteers, together with field assistants, try and create
model streets. The local community is introduced to Solid waste
management, the building of compost pits and the separation of
biodegradable material. There is a lot of scope for interested
volunteers who have prior experience to bring in their ideas and
develop them within the project.
*Please note minimum application for Environmental Education is for
four months
LTV O2 C Eco Tourism
Ecotourism involves two major themes: Nature and Culture.
Ecotourism is a form of responsible travel which contributes to the
protection of the environment in natural areas, and the preservation
of culture in local communities. It also provides conscious travellers
with unique experiences which cannot be provided by mass tourism.
This is a new project initiated by FSL, which means there is still a lot
to be done!
The volunteers will start by getting to know the village,
neighbourhood and villagers in order to work together with them and
see the different aspects of their lives. Educating the locals about the
problems and exploring possibilities with Eco-tourism is an important
aspect of the work.
Volunteers have to develop a working methodology that taps into local
resourcesVolunteers will
develop a way of working, drawing local potential, introducing and
setting up structures, such
as:
Creating a database of information of the surrounding areas
Training and working with the local community in order to involve
them in active
participation.
Raising environmental and cultural preservation awareness
Setting up and running the Eco Tourism project
Making a web site and promoting Eco tourism as a form of
livelihood for the local community.
The main fields of work are: art, traditional life, sights, environmental
awareness, food,
agriculture, industry, medicine, landscape, outdoor activities, religion,
and spiritual
experience. Each of those fields is divided into more sub fields. You
will be working in a small

39
team or individually to complete the database. The work will include
site-based research
hence the ability to research and write reports is appreciated.
*Please note minimum application is for four months.
LTV O2 D Eco-Clubs
Eco-clubs is a governmental initiative which was introduced 5 years
ago in government schools. As part of this initiative, Eco-clubs were
formed in schools and the members are comprised of school children.
The aim of Eco-clubs is to introduce environmental concerns and
good practices to the school children, in order to make them actively
involved and to be aware of the necessity to protect nature. However
most government schools lack personnel and financial means to run
the Eco-clubs efficiently. As a result, Eco-clubs have been formed in
most schools but they do not function.
Hence, the FSL-Eco-Clubs projects were initiated with the objective of
supporting schools, the children and the teachers. Since August
2008, volunteers have run a 5-sessions programme in different
schools in the surrounding areas of Kundapur for the children in the
8th standard. These sessions combine theoretical and practical
learning methods. The children who have
been trained this year, will train the next batch of children to run the
Eco clubs. At the moment we have a potential of about 200 children
ready to pursue our work.
As a volunteer your task will be to design and run the sessions in the
schools, with the help of other volunteers, a field assistant and
teachers. You'll need to be creative and have a love for
children, as they are the main concern of the project. You will also get
the chance to work with the local community in order to organize
some out door events for the children.

LTV 03 SOCIAL PROJECTS
LTV O2 A Physically Handicapped and
Mentally Challenged Childrens Project
These children are rejected by mainstream society and so volunteers
are needed to participate and bring joy in the lives of these children,
and help the NGO to bring some structure in their daily lives and
prepare them for adulthood.
Working with disabled people can be quite a challenging task for
anyone. However, the spirit of these people can bring a lot of joy and a
lot can be learnt. The main work will be teaching and supporting the
staff in their daily activities for the care of physically and/or mentally
disabled children. In the home or project it is essential that the
volunteer is part of the group ; help has to be done wherever

40
necessary and so you should be flexible and open to all kinds of work
and activities.
Additional work activities involve maintenance and gardening work,
preparing meals, serving them, cleaning and giving company.
A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the
take a flexible approach to the work and you should be
prepared to undertake a variety of tasks.
LTV O3 B Rehabilitation Projects
There are many NGOs working for social inclusion projects where
minorities or less fortunate
people have been left behind in the race for economic and social
reform. FSL India tries to motivate/support them by placing
interested volunteers to help them in their office, field work
or to bring new creative ideas to their work. The work varies from
project to project. So, in the application the volunteers must write
clearly why they want such a project and also how
they can contribute to the project.
Following are examples of the different kinds of projects:
! projects where working children are given vocational training ;
! projects where young people are given training in various trades ;
! projects where Micro-finances are given to a minority community
and we help them to
become economically stable.
! projects where computer education is given.
! projects with disabled children and/or adults, in order to give them
more autonomy
and to eventually reintegrate them in mainstream society.
Volunteers can help in many ways; for example there were instances
when volunteers have
taken photographs of local projects and helped them build a web
page. Then volunteers in a
vocational training centre helped the project to make a catalogue of
all their products.
Volunteers have helped projects by implementing a good filing system
and helping in survey
data collection. Here creativity plays a major role, and prior
experience can help the project
as well as the volunteer. FSL India also helps less fortunate youth
from slums or low economic backgrounds by giving them training in
camp leading or office work. For example, slum boys will be recruited
and given training in camp leading. After training they will work as
camp leaders for a year. Then they go back to their slum and organize

41
work camps for the next year so as to bring in development to their
community.
LTV O2 C Old Age Home
FSL-India helps many projects by sending volunteers to old age
homes where the elderly are neglected and forgotten by the
mainstream society.
Working at an Old Aged home can be quite a challenge. The work will
include interacting with the old people and basic support towards the
staff in their daily routine. The volunteers will
take part helping in the daily activities, medical care, special
programs for physical exercise, and simply giving company to the
elderly.
This project is for those who are willing to work with old people and
also for those who like this kind of work.
LTV O2 D Women Empowerment
Many NGOs and government organizations are increasingly putting
women at the centre of their projects and are working out programs
and strategies in which they support the socially and economically
disadvantaged women of India. Empowering women and educating
them on their constitutional rights, and the law, works towards the
achievement of social and economical security of women.
Since most of the women you are going to work with come from an
underprivileged background, they speak very little or no English. Be
ready to find creative and alternative ways of communication. Please
note the work mainly involves working in the office with the NGO as
well as field work.
LTV O2 E Slum Development
Indian cities suffer from huge urbanization problems and slums are
present and growing in many places. These areas of the cities are
clusters of houses and shacks built illegally, where
all basic infrastructures are absent. Water and electricity supply are
scarce or non existent, hygiene is low and outbreaks of diseases are
common. The rate of unemployment is very high.
The aim of many NGOs working in the slums is to improve the basic
living conditions of the large number of people living in these slums.
The volunteers will have the opportunity to join
hands with the local NGO to support ongoing projects such as
awareness campaigns, literacy programs, educational projects and
empowerment of minorities.
A prior experience and/or a good knowledge of the situation are
appreciated. Working and
living conditions can be hard.

LTV O4 MEDICAL AND HEALTH
LTV O4 A HIV and AIDS Awareness and Care of Support

42
HIV and AIDS related issues are a world wide problem which is
threatening the entire human population.
There are many NGOs taking up this issue and working to tackle this
problem. Each NGO adapts different methods; some work in
promoting awareness whereas other NGOs work directly with
HIV/AIDS affected people. The volunteers applying for this field must
have some prior experience or some medical background. The work is
varied and will involve assisting the
NGOs in their programs. The work will predominantly be awareness
raising and not practical work with AIDS patients. In these
organizations, volunteers will be required to help give
counselling, to work in hospitals or homes by treating patients,
participating in daily care and also to provide education and social
activisssties.
LTV O4 C Rural Medication
The regional medical colleges and government institutes conduct
rural health check ups and rural medication as part of health
legislations. There is always a lack of staff support.
The volunteers will work and serve as medical assistants and help the
rural medical team as a team member. Volunteers applying for this
program must have medical back ground.
LTV O4 D Rural Mid wife
Standards of safe practice are required to reassure women who plan
to deliver their babies in rural settings. Sadly, government hospitals
are severely under staffed and over worked, thus, medical and
professional assistants are severely needed in these settings.
Volunteers applying for this program must be trained in a medical
background. The volunteers will work and serve as medical assistants
and help the rural medical team as a team member, within villages
and government hospitals.

IWO/MTV-A3 Horseman JEONBUK 06/04 - 30/06 YOUTH&EDU
IWO/MTV-B3 Horseman JEONBUK 21/09 - 09/12 YOUTH&EDU
Project: Korea Horseman High School takes pride in being known as the first
choice among students who seek to begin their careers as horse trainers and
managers. It is a public high school designed for in depth instruction and
exercises about managing and training racing horses. The students in this school
build their horsemanship skills and eventually seek to be employed in horse
managing fields.
The school was originally founded as a livestock farming school. However as the
appreciation for farming and livestock have decreased among young people, the
school transformed its curriculum to train young horsemen. In the past few
years, the school has earned more recognition, but still lacks in its international
programs and interactions. The school is looking forward to develop its
international interaction through this MTV project. Volunteers of this project will
be the ones who will make a leap toward a new change of the school.
Work: Since the school is located in an area where it has limitation in meeting
various international people, the project is mainly aimed to provide the students
more chance to meet and experience other cultures through international
volunteers. We hope that the students will develop global thinking through this
project. Volunteers, on the other hand, will have the benefit of getting to know
with Korean culture and especially horsemanship skills.
Volunteers will mainly lead English or Japanese classes (Non-formal),
intercultural classes such as country introduction and language classes. There
are about 15-20 students in one class. Having skills such as dancing, singing,
acting, teaching languages (preferably English and Japanese) and other
educational purposes can be very helpful. Volunteers will also have opportunity to
join in other school activities or class field trips.
Specialty of this program
Volunteers of this project will have three months free course of horseback riding.
The school teachers there will kindly guide and instruct the volunteers with
horsemanship skills. If volunteers are fond of horses, and love outdoor activities,
this opportunity is perfect for them and will give them memorable experiences.
Inclination toward animals especially, horses. (Strongly Recommended)

LTVSJ01-La Maison des Bateleurs
Being an association of youth and popular education, La Maison des
Bateleurs is the regional delegation in Poitou-Charentes of the
national french
movement Solidarits Jeunesses. It aims to promote peace between
people by
organising voluntary work and intercultural encounters.
One of our main values is the appreciation of each individual in a
group, so one
can develop oneself while respecting and being considerate of ones
fellow being.
It is our wish to build a collective project, in order to demonstrate that
we can live
together, every participant being provided with a different cultural
background, and use our potential in a constructive way. The

85
association believes in values of tolerance and respect, she opposes
every form of
exclusion et discrimination. The entire of the actions of the
association aims to facilitate the encounter of
people with diverse horizons, in order to provide them with the
opportunity to contribute to the construction
of an open society, where all generations, cultures and nations can
live in peace.
All year long the Maison des Bateleurs hosts long term volunteers
(VLT), a minimum of four or five VLT
so as to assure the continuity of our activities and the cultural
mixture of our group. The group consists of
french, european and international volunteers from other continents.
The volunteer wants to contribute to the collective life of the house
(cooking, washing up, cleaning) but he
also realise practicals activities to learn manual tasks such as
masonry and last not least the french
language. The motivation of taking responsibility in the functioning of
the Maison des Bateleurs , and in
the carrying out of creative and artistic activities.
Furthermore, the volunteer has the possibility to develop a personal
project. It is therefore important that he
knows or learns- to evaluate and appreciate his interests, his goals,
his limits and also the means to
achieve his personal objectives in the end. This approach is a iterative
means of the philosophy of the
association: by developing an active citizenship and a distinct sense of
responsibility it aims at the concrete
construction of peace.
The activities organised with and by the volunteers are generally
activities of manual work, artistic activities
(painting, theatre) and activities of local development in partnership
with local associations and people of
all ages.
The majority of the organised activities take place in the Maison des
Bateleurs, but some also take place in
Montendre or neighbouring villages, or in other delegations of
Solidarits Jeunesses.
LTVSJ02 Centre de Beaumotte

86
The Centre de Beaumotte was founded in 1979 and is a non-formal
educational association. It is the
regional delegation of Solidarits Jeunesses' in the Franche-Comt
region. The aim of our centre is to
support people who have fewer opportunities and to encourage them
to take responsibility for their own lives.
The project
One of the most important things we do at the centre is to simply
participate in the everyday exchange that
occurs when people from different social and cultural backgrounds
live together. There are about 20 people
who live and work at the centre, and 10 more who come to work
during the day. The centre hosts teenagers
and adults who are facing social and professional problems, and who
often have difficulties functioning in
society and perhaps do not have support from their family. They live
at the centre from 6 months to one year.
The exchange between the volunteers and those living at the centre is
extremely important, and together we
focus our efforts to realise specific projects around the centre and in
neighbouring villages. The residents
also participate in seminars covering subject such as alcohol and
drug addictions and help with employment
or other life skills. The volunteers are welcome to participate in these
if they would like, for example to give a
presentation about your country. Throughout the year we also
organise different social and cultural events,
such as concerts, theatrical productions, workshops, and the like.
This project requires no specific
knowledge or skills. You do not have to be able to speak French but it
is important to be aware that not
everybody living here can speak English. There is the opportunity to
have French lessons while you are
here. All long term volunteers receive 105 Euros every month and
have 15 days holiday per year.
OUR WORK:
We work approximately 7 hours per day, sometimes we are based in
the house, other times we work outside
the house. The outside work could be:
!Renovation of the centre (masonry, carpentry, etc.)
!Preservation of the grounds
!Renovation of the local heritage (fountains, ancient wash-houses,
etc.)
!Environmental projects (preservation of the river, gardening, etc.)

LTVSJ03 Le Crneau (2008-FR-103)
Created in 1993, the association 'Le Crneau' is the delegation of
Solidarits Jeunesses in Auvergne/Rhne-Alpes.
Its objectives are the following:
!To have a meeting and hosting structure where
the dominant theme is intercultural exchanges
through group life and .
!To help enliven and develop the region by
working in cooperation with the local government
and education centres (recreation centres, clubs, schools, etc.).
!To support projects sponsored both by our association and the
community by organizing international work camps.
!To help people with social and professional difficulties get back on
track.
The Crneau keeps it's doors open to everyone. in doing this we hope
to enable all types of people to meet and live together, learning from
each other in spite of linguistic, social, and economical barriers. We
feel that these kinds of exchanges are
crucial in fighting prejudices. The Crneau encourages active and
responsible citizenship through promoting
values such as solidarity, justice, respect and peace.
The work :
1) The main part of the work consists in restoring the buildings and
keeping them in a good state, as well as
laying out the gardens, farmyard, etc.
2) Throughout the year groups of people will join us at the Chteau,
many of them with social difficulties.
Volunteers will help in planning activities, workshops, etc. according
to their personal
interests.
3) Other opportunities may include organizing workshops in the
schools, participating in and/or
leading an international summer work camp, gardening, and
promoting the association through
local events.
4)Individual project :
We strongly believe that is important for the volunteer to implement,
during his/her voluntary service, one or
several personal ideas in accordance with the values and the project
of the association. We think voluntary

88
should also be an opportunity to reflect, to experiment and to take
initiatives. Time is set aside each week in
order to allow to the volunteers to dedicate themselves to their
personal projects
LTVSJ06 Vaunires (2009-FR-122)
The association Village des Jeunes, the regional delegation of
Solidarits Jeunesse in Provence Alpes Cte
dAzur, is an informal education association recognized by the
Ministry of Youth and Sports. Through its
actions, the Villages des Jeunes aims to promote :
The voluntary participation of everyone, especially the youth and
the underprivileged, in local,
national and international life.
Local development that keep in mind individuals, the environment
and cultural heritage.
Communication between people from different countries and
different generations.
The concrete construction of peace.
Toward this aim, the association organises short and long-term
international programmes, integration
actions, trainings, international solidarity actions, and manages three
hosting structures in rural
environments, including the hamlet of Vaunires.
The EVS volunteers will participate in the following activities:
" The project/work camps: This category describes the ongoing work
that occurs at the farm. It is the area
in which education takes place, and where people can exchange
through work. It concerns
environmental projects (cleaning rivers, clearing brushwood), cultural
heritage projects (working on a old
Chalaisienne abbey), restoring and improving projects of buildings in
villages or in the farm.
In agreement with the paid staff, the volunteers who want to may
become pedagogic activity leaders on
these projects.
" Hosting: The hamlet of Vaunires has space to welcome groups,
families and individuals who are on
holiday and/or desire to participate in projects. The volunteers will be
encouraged to participate in
leading these activities (cooking, organising cultural nights, games,
hikes in the mountain).

89
" Cultural activities: We strongly encourage the volunteers to join our
team in designing and organising
cultural activities which take place in Vaunires or in the nearby
villages. The team of the hamlet has put
specific tools in place which will enable the volunteers to appropriate
this aspect of life on the site.
Personal projects are seen as a way to reflection, discovery and
personal enrichment for the volunteers, and
to this end, after an initial period of settling in, the volunteer will have
the chance to carry out one or more
individual or collective projects that go along with the goals of the
overall project
LTVSJ08 TVSJ08 - Vir'Volt (2009-FR-49)
Vir'Volt is one of the regional delegations of the movement Solidarits
Jeunesses. Vir'volt stands up for the same values as the national
movement. Defending peace aims at the international and national
level,
our local project is meant to develop similar activities .
To reach those goals, the movement is implementing the following
activities :
- Organizing international workcamps (long and short term) in
cooperation
with the local communities or partner organizations
- Hosting different groups (schools, community centers but also
offering
free leisure for different kinds of groups).
- Organizing trainings and seminars but also supports activities for
members of our organization
- Sending volunteers on international workcamps but also to short or
long
term projects or trainings and seminars.
- Supporting local projects
- Organizing and participating to activities on social, economical and
working integration involving
participants with less opportunities.
-Organizing(training sessions for volunteers (France and abroad) with
less opportunities.
Proposed activities for volunteers:
Through their involvement in local activities, the volunteers will be
able to get a sense of responsibility, to get

90
involved actively in the local community and to think when they
return to their country, about new ways of
becoming active citizens in their every day life.
We believe that volunteers, by running projects and activities in
Vir'Volt, will learn to be more responsible,
and to take initiatives, which will be useful in their social and
professional life.
For the short-term and long-term volunteers hosting a weekly
evaluation will be organized with the group to
give feed back about the projects and the collective life.
Times will be organized for trainings and discussions but also to
assess motivations of the volunteers,
objectives and results of the activities. The volunteer will be able to
request individual evaluations whenever
he/she wants. Volunteers of the association (especially board
members) take an active part in the
implementation and support of the project. As a result, they will be
involved in the support of the volunteers.
During the national events, the volunteers will be able to discover the
French territory and will have a better
understanding of French association's life especially the Solidarits
Jeunesses project.
Many organizations have been created by volunteers when they
return in their country, others have become
project leaders in partner organizations
Vir'volt implements several projects in the social, cultural and
integration fields. As for an organization based
on people's education, it is highly important that they should work on
projects with people coming from
different cultural backgrounds.
In this framework, volunteers bring the very necessary intercultural
touch to our projects. In all our actions,
they help us to keep an intercultural distance, to work on our
prejudice, to cross our looks and views on the
world.
Thanks to their status and commitment, the volunteers bring along
deep thinking about each one's
responsibility and about one's involvement as a person and as a
citizen. In every action, they draw people's
attention about voluntary work and promote it.
They are the stamina of our organization and they keep us aware.
They make proposals, they have their external point of view and they
ceaselessly question our project, to
make it progress and get better.

LTVSJ09 - CITRUS (2009-Fr-75)
Created in 2003, the association CITRUS, represents the project of
Solidarits
Jeunesses in Midi-Pyrnes. Solidarits Jeunesses consists of seven
local
associations in rural areas with their own structures of reception and
animation.
Solidarits Jeunesses organises international workcamps, activities of
insertion,
trainings, actions of international solidarity, awareness-raising
activities in citizenship
and the voluntary service, in the international mobility...
The activities
The hosted volunteers are welcomed in the heart of our structure and
will participate in two sectors which
are part of our activities: workcamps and local animation.
1. Workcamp
Participating in workcamps will be the main activity of the volunteers.
This includes renewing and
reconstructing the place : an old farm and its buildings, which is
called La Mayounelle, in order to create a
centre of reception and intercultural meeting, as well as the
restoration of the small buildings in the
surrounding municipalities. The work is undertaken in a team, and
managed under the responsibility of a
qualified leader.
The association endeavours to transmit the traditional manual know-
how, which is the link between
the generations. The methods of construction and restoration are
realised within the objective of using local
materials and the traditional techniques (dry stones, cherts etc.). The
environmental quality is another
important aspect of the project, which the association CITRUS wishes
to promote by choosing ecological
elements. An example would be the landscaping and the maintenance
of green places or a kitchen garden
are part of the activities program. It can also mean the installation of
tools to reduce energy consumption
(solar showers, baker's oven, etc.) or to use ecological materials for
construction.
Long term volunteers may become pedagogical leaders of workcamps
during the summer in other

92
villages of the region, under the support of the team of employees.
Every year, a collective training of one
week is organised by Solidarits Jeunesses to enable them to acquire
the necessary skills to function as
workcamp leader. They can also invest themselves in the preparation
of workcamps (prenegotiation
meetings, logistic support, establishment of tools, selection of the
location etc.)
2. Local animation
The volunteers will participate regularly in activities of local
animation, in cultural events or in
activities with educational character in partnership with the
municipalities, institutions and the local
associations. The association supports for example the local schools
to set up workshops regarding the
environment, within the framework of the project of the collective
garden. During the international
workcamps, discovery workshops with cultural or linguistic themes
are organised. In these activities, the
international volunteers bring an intercultural dimension, which is
highly appreciated by teachers and public
schools.
Substantive work has begun to build relationships with people,
municipalities, associations and other
structures to facilitate the installation of new projects. The hosted
volunteers will be encouraged to imagine
and realise activities of local animation, which engage the
intercultural dialogue.
3. Intercultural dimension
The aim of our work is to build a social Europe in terms of peace,
respect and tolerance. Therefore
we encourage meetings and exchanges of others who have different
social, cultural, and geographical
backgrounds. Volunteers might be asked to work with people with
fewer opportunities, within the role of
providing an international and cultural exchange. For example adults
who are in situations of reintegration
may be present on the workcamps. The meeting and the achievement
of a common work, with the
involvement of both, international volunteers as well as
disadvantaged or less mobile persons, is an
excellent way to achieve this aim.
Our fields of action relate to cultural, social and environmental issues
and for which we encourage

93
citizen participation. Our actions intend to promote solidarity,
tolerance, openness and multiculturalism.
Support during the voluntary service
Long Term volunteers will be an integral part of the association's
team. Each week they will
participate to the meetings and the preparation of activities. The
association's members will facilitate the
integration of volunteers in the local community by offering to
participate in a multitude of activities and
meetings.
To encourage the initiative and independence of long term volunteers,
lessons in French will be given
once a week by the permanent and volunteers members of the
association. In fact, dialogues with
storekeepers, inhabitants and partners are often in French, and are
the best way to learn this language.
After getting to know the actions which are conducted by the
association, volunteers will develop one
or more personal projects, which can be individual or collective,
insofar as it will be in line with the project of
the association. Volunteers will be encouraged to imagine and
organise actions which involve the local
environment - depending on their interests and how they want to
contribute to the project. Examples for
possible actions are the organisation of debate evenings, an art
exhibition, the construction of a solar oven,
offering dance workshops, etc.
The volunteers will be monitored by a tutor, responsible for welcoming
volunteers, whose role is to
facilitate their integration, promote adoption of their own project, and
assist them in achieving personal
project(s). If necessary, other members of the association may provide
support.
LTVSJ07 Rseau dEntraide Volontaire / REV (2007-FR-220)
Description of the activities:
The hosting of LTVs:
The group of Long Term Volunteers is made up of 8 individuals who
begin their projects mid-September and
finish at the end of August each year. They work on renovation site
around 30 hours per week. They learn
French, participate in cultural activities, and use their talents to
enhance the project.

94
LTVs are lodges in the village house, and they manage their daily life
amongst themselves (cooking,
cleaning, budget, activities, etc.), with the help of the permanent staff
and the elected officials of the
association which live in the vicinity.
They are here:
- To give another point of view of the world to those working toward
integration
- To bring a dynamic of animation in and with the village (intervention
in the schools, participation in local
events, organization of intercultural evenings with topic, etc.)
- To discover the area, in all its facets (cultural, tourist, culinary, etc.)
- To live autonomously and responsibly in a serene environment
-To invest themselves in the project, and to enrich it.
LTVSJ08 TVSJ08 - Vir'Volt (2009-FR-49)
Vir'Volt is one of the regional delegations of the movement Solidarits
Jeunesses. Vir'volt stands up for the same values as the national
movement. Defending peace aims at the international and national
level,
our local project is meant to develop similar activities .
Proposed activities for volunteers:
Through their involvement in local activities, the volunteers will be
able to get a sense of responsibility, to get
involved actively in the local community and to think when they
return to their country, about new ways of
becoming active citizens in their every day life.
We believe that volunteers, by running projects and activities in
Vir'Volt, will learn to be more responsible,
and to take initiatives, which will be useful in their social and
professional life.
For the short-term and long-term volunteers hosting a weekly
evaluation will be organized with the group to
give feed back about the projects and the collective life.
Times will be organized for trainings and discussions but also to
assess motivations of the volunteers,
objectives and results of the activities. The volunteer will be able to
request individual evaluations whenever
he/she wants. Volunteers of the association (especially board
members) take an active part in the

95
implementation and support of the project. As a result, they will be
involved in the support of the volunteers.
During the national events, the volunteers will be able to discover the
French territory and will have a better
understanding of French association's life especially the Solidarits
Jeunesses project.
Many organizations have been created by volunteers when they
return in their country, others have become
project leaders in partner organizations
Vir'volt implements several projects in the social, cultural and
integration fields. As for an organization based
on people's education, it is highly important that they should work on
projects with people coming from
different cultural backgrounds.
In this framework, volunteers bring the very necessary intercultural
touch to our projects. In all our actions,
they help us to keep an intercultural distance, to work on our
prejudice, to cross our looks and views on the
world.
Thanks to their status and commitment, the volunteers bring along
deep thinking about each one's
responsibility and about one's involvement as a person and as a
citizen. In every action, they draw people's
attention about voluntary work and promote it.
They are the stamina of our organization and they keep us aware.
They make proposals, they have their external point of view and they
ceaselessly question our project, to
make it progress and get better.
Local community :
Pre-qualification activity (starts in April and last 6 months) : this
action based on mobility and will alternate
workcamp activities and training activities will host about 10 people
in difficult situations. The volunteers will
take part in the workcamp with the participants. They will also take
part to some training activities as well and
will talk about their country and what it is to be volunteer. Because of
their presence, they will guarantee a
social mixture in the group. By working in the workcamp, they will
get more responsible. For the volunteers,
this is a real learning opportunity as a mixed-social group and
intercultural experience.
N.B. : on this activity, the volunteers will never be responsible for the
activity. This project will be lead by 2
staff members.

96
Permanent workcamp (all year long) : it will be organized in the town
of La Fert sous Jouarre. Different sites
are scheduled in the town. The technical aspects can be wall building,
restoration of social apartments,
gardening.
The site where the organization is needs also some restoration and
will be part of the permanent workcamp.
There are some work in the garden which adds value to our project
and group many people. This is also a
site where initiatives can rise (one volunteer is actually organizing a
project on painting walls).
Moreover, to promote our project based on sustainable development
and respect of the environment, the
volunteers will maintain and develop the vegetable garden. This
garden is considered as a tool to raise
awareness on ecological issues. We use this garden to work with
children and with groups coming to the
structure.
Because of the partnership with the town, Vir'Volt is participating to
events of the town and the volunteers will
get involved in the following projects : " Fte de la Musique ", Fert-
plage, festival " les mains bleues " (street
art festival), public debate on actual issues (we developed this activity
with a partner organization " Matire
Prise "). We're working also on an exhibition about the " meulire rock
" (interviews of older generations,
etc...)
We will be able to host groups soon as the organization will be in
charge to run a park (before it was a
camping site). These groups will come from different backgrounds :
youth groups, community centers, ... We
plan to offer cheap accommodation, close to Paris, but " in the green
". The groups will be able to participate
to the daily activities : (workcamp, garden, cooking, cultural visits...)
and also benefit of the local sports
organizations Organizations are regularly asking for these type of
projects. The volunteers will work with
these groups.
Frequent interventions in junior high and high schools of the area :
language courses. The volunteers are
able to attend the French classes in these schools. Usually, it's about
one day per week.
Regional activities:

97
International volunteers will be offered the chance to be an activity
leader at work camps for young
international volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for the daily life
of the group during the summer camp.
As described above, they will have undergone training as activity
leaders in May. This experience is in many
cases a chance for volunteers to pass on the skills acquired during
their volunteer experience. It is certainly a
very rich experience in terms of responsibility and initiative.
Our association, due to its regional spread, is often asked to promote
volunteering in various salons, forums
and meetings dealing with youth, and organized by General Councils,
the Region and municipalities. Our
volunteers lend a more dynamic character to our interventions. It is
an opportunity for them to become aware
of other initiatives and to better understand the context of the French
system, as well as to report on their
own experiences.
LTVSJ09 - CITRUS (2009-Fr-75)
Created in 2003, the association CITRUS, represents the project of
Solidarits
Jeunesses in Midi-Pyrnes. Solidarits Jeunesses consists of seven
local
associations in rural areas with their own structures of reception and
animation.
Solidarits Jeunesses organises international workcamps, activities of
insertion,
trainings, actions of international solidarity, awareness-raising
activities in citizenship
and the voluntary service, in the international mobility...
Ambitions
The association CITRUS aims to :
" Support local projects within municipalities and/or within
associations by the mobilisation of young
volunteers, particularly by organising international workcamps;
" encourage animation in the local development of the region by
working in co-operation with regional
and local authorities, with structures of animation and education
(associations, schools etc.);
" encourage everyone to participate in the local life and the actions in
favour of an active and
responsible citizenship;

98
" contribute to the sustainable development of the region by
awareness-raising activities in the
protection of the environment;
" mobilise and accompany persons who are in difficulties to be socially
and professionally
included.
Actions
The main activities of the association CITRUS are the organisation of
workcamps with international
volunteers, the organisation of workshops raising awareness of the
environment, and the promotion of
volunteering.
The workcamp consists of a group of around fifteen young people
involved in the realisation of a
concrete work of public interest. The implemented works concerns
three domains:
! Restoration of heritage : renovation of washhouses, reconstruction
of dry stone walls...
! Transmission of the cultural heritage : working on the memory of
sites or historic events, participation
at the organization of festivals...
! Exploitation of the natural heritage : arrangement of municipal
gardens, hiking trails
The reception of young international volunteers in small rural areas
allows the facilitation of local dynamics,
by suggesting everyone can be involved in collective actions.
In the frame of the activities, a collective garden with social and
educational uses was set up in the
municipality of Septfonds, where the association CITRUS has been
since 2008. This garden, situated in the
heart of a village with 1800 inhabitants, is equipped to receive
different kind of people who come there to
learn, try or exchange about gardening. This place allows a raising
awareness of the natural heritage, trough
running workshops which aim to promote a respectful attitude
towards the environment (compost, toilet
sandbanks, recovery of rain water, etc.) The garden is also a place of
permanent exchange for the
inhabitants and it is the centre of social links between the
generations (children, young people, old people.)
Finally, the association CITRUS participates regularly in forums and
information days in the region and the
department, especially for youth (in secondary schools, universities,
festivals etc.) in order to promote

99
European and international voluntary service, and workcamps. To
mobilise the local population, the
association regularly organises cultural events : concerts, dancing
evenings, thematic meetings, workshops
of discovery... During the year, the association would like to develop
these type of events (around subjects
as citizenship, Europe, sustainable development, etc.) with the
cooperation of the volunteers.
Proposed activities for the volunteers
Volunteers will work 30 to 35 hours per week and take their holidays
in consultation with the team, according
to the season and needs of the association. Two half days per week
are given to the conception and
realisation of a personal project and language support. By
participating in workshops and meetings
organised by the association, volunteers are actively involved in the
associative life, contribute to the general
organization of the implemented activities, and can propose their own
ideas.
The activities
The hosted volunteers are welcomed in the heart of our structure and
will participate in two sectors which
are part of our activities: workcamps and local animation.
1. Workcamp

2. Local animation
The volunteers will participate regularly in activities of local
animation, in cultural events or in
activities with educational character in partnership with the
municipalities, institutions and the local
associations. The association supports for example the local schools
to set up workshops regarding the
environment, within the framework of the project of the collective
garden. During the international
workcamps, discovery workshops with cultural or linguistic themes
are organised. In these activities, the
international volunteers bring an intercultural dimension, which is
highly appreciated by teachers and public
schools.
Substantive work has begun to build relationships with people,
municipalities, associations and other
structures to facilitate the installation of new projects. The hosted
volunteers will be encouraged to imagine
and realise activities of local animation, which engage the
intercultural dialogue.
3. Intercultural dimension
The aim of our work is to build a social Europe in terms of peace,
respect and tolerance. Therefore
we encourage meetings and exchanges of others who have different
social, cultural, and geographical
backgrounds. Volunteers might be asked to work with people with
fewer opportunities, within the role of
providing an international and cultural exchange. For example adults
who are in situations of reintegration
may be present on the workcamps. The meeting and the achievement
of a common work, with the

101
involvement of both, international volunteers as well as
disadvantaged or less mobile persons, is an
excellent way to achieve this aim.
Our fields of action relate to cultural, social and environmental issues
and for which we encourage
citizen participation. Our actions intend to promote solidarity,
tolerance, openness and multiculturalism.
partner
The association "La ferme de No" has purchased in 2003 a property of 4 hectares
in the village of Trets-en-Provence, to create a social and organic farm. The
association has 50 members. Friend and family members give a hand regularly for
the development of the farm. For the time being, the objective is to develop the
economic aspect of the activity to achieve financial autonomy (visits of the public,
restaurant, selling of farm products).
work
You will participate in agricultural work, planting and harvesting; removing of weeds,
maintenance of the buildings, the installation of folds for animals in the pinewood in
front of the house, taking care of farm animals (make sure you have no allergies).
The farm also receives visitors, you may (if you wish) participate in preparation of
meals for visitors (restaurant open to the public).
Accommodation and food
The access to the farm, outside and inside, is open. Volunteers are accommodated
in a room with 2 beds, general space available being quite reduced. Active
members of the association live in the house (3 persons permanently, and a baby,
which means that inside of the house must be quiet). All meals are shared with
volunteers and permanent team. Nb : home stay type requires effort from everyone,
respect of shared space, maintain room and common space clean, participation in
daily chores (washing up). There is a cinema and a library in Trets where books can
be borrowed. Please note the farm is isolated from the village centre (at 4 km).
Bring some games for the evenings. Please bring a sleeping bag, and work clothes.
During winter period, it can be cold and rainy.
