Volunteer profiles and recruitment process
The hosting organisation wants to host two EVS with profiles already fairly stated. We presuppose that our EVS’ interest in the arts or sport is natural and evident. We welcome candidates with training or experience in one of the field mentioned below:
– management of cultural projects;
– communication;
– associative action;
– education.
We prefer to choose volunteers with at least basic knowledge of French.
The motivation of future volunteer is very important. We are looking for the candidates, who are enthusiastic, curious, initiative and ready to work in an international team. We need creative and open-minded people with ability of adapting to different kind of projects and willing to bring and introduce new ideas to our space. A mediator is a person who encourage people from different associations, organizations and companies to participate in projects and activities offered by hosting organisation. That’s why we are looking for a person who is talkative, sociable and eager to promote and share ideas.
We will select the CVs which, in our opinion, suits this profile the most and invite candidates for a Skype interview (or interviews…)
Accommodation

Risk prevention, protection and safety
