The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is the old European Voluntary Service (EVS) and its financed for the EU. Its an activity that can take from 1 to 7 months long. The grant covers: travel costs, health insurance, accomodation, food care, pocket money and a language course.

HOSTING ORGANITZATION: La Maison des Jeunes (MJ) / the Youth Club is an association financed by the French Community of Belgium. We work in Marche-en-Famenne, a 17.000 inhabitants’ town which is located in the south of the country. Our mission is to promote youth active citizenship, participation and empowerment. In all our activities -trainings, creative and artistic workshops, outdoors activities and visits, organization of concerts and cultural events- we strive to work on the basis of a “pedagogy of the project." Through negotiation, preparation, implementation and evaluation of activities, we hope to encourage young people to acquire new skills and support them in developing themselves as persons and citizens.

PROJECTS AND TASKS: The volunteer will have the possibility to participate in all our activities: artistic workshops, sport activities, organization of cultural events and free time activities in the youth club. The youth club is open almost every day of the week after school ends, organizes more than 10 musical concerts (hip hop - rock - pop - metal - electro) every year as well as different trainings (guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, pictures...) corresponding to holidays period at school. The volunteer will be involved in all these activities and will be able to propose his/her own after school activities. S/he will also work sometimes in partnership with other local youth and social organizations (with disabled people, local school, educators...).
