ÒMethodology of the animation with social worker: learn to build a project and to animate a group of residents
We wish to structure the time of voluntary service in two parts:
-1- From 1st to 4th month : The volunteer sets up different activities in order to create a dynamic in the collective areas and to sensitize the residents with in inter cultural dialogue.
The activities proposed:
Ò Welcome the new residents (visit of places: Areas of games, living-room, library, garden in summer, collective kitchen, computers,laundry - presentation of different services)
Ò Make the places of collective areas alive: games, multimedia
ÒEncourage and accompany the residents in the organisation, preparation and the realization of collective activities such as:
meals with specific theme : The volunteer has a role to call out a resident (rather regularly) so that he introduces his region and his culture through a typical dish, but also through a presentation of his origin (photographs, video, music). The decoration of the room is also important (flag and map of the country, music etc …)
The cultural parties (cinema - theatre …) Among the cultural program of the city, the volunteer selects a cultural activity in connection with " the inter cultural dialogue " and proposes it to the residents. He can also organize one evening cinema within the foyer on a very precise subject (racism, xenophobia etc.) and proposes a debate.
The weekly sports activities: The City of Valence lends us a gymnasium all year round. The volunteer will be able to propose various collective sports: volleyball, football, handball, basketball, badminton etc.
Any personal idea will be welcomed in relation to the educational project of the residence. On the other hand the team will be attentive to bring its support and its advices.

-2- From 5th in the 9th month : the volunteer sets up an activity on the long term with a team of residents. We choose a sport activity as dominant topic. Indeed, it is a mean of answering the general objectives. Sport is universal, known by everyone. There is no barrier of language, culture, age. It can take a social aspect (Exchanges between persons of different social origins - Place where we can have experiences of groups). As well as a physical aspect (access to the well-being). Sport carries on positive, educational values (team spirit, Fair play, pleasure, knowledge of the body and its potential). We wish through this activity settle a sports challenge with all the other residences in the city.
And, we wait for the volunteer to build together the detailed schedule of the animations to take into account the demand of the young people and the wishes of the volunteer. It is very important for us to involve the volunteer in choices to take responsibilities, make him totally an actor of the project, to be an initiator. The social worker will be present to supervise and accompany the volunteer in the implementation
