Context: The Alliance Française is an international network which is well established and especially developped in Hungary with 5 different Alliance in the regions. In its work to promote culture and language diversity, we are led to develop all the different aspects of what brings together such countries as Hungary and France. To this respect, the EU is central in the AF programs. Teaching a EU language to other EU people brings us to daily refer and build EU values, history, aims and perspectives. Furthermore the field of culture has highly benefited from the increasing integration of its country members, which guarantee us that not a single local project of ours would be build without a EU partner, no matter at what level. Pécs being furthermore at one of the EU borders, our activities create a strong sense of belonging. Our EVS motivation is largely led by the desire to embody this belonging in a young volunteer . Objectives : - To promote access to culture. - The discovery of a "near stranger" for Hungarians learning and willing to develop themselves in a european frame and this near stranger that is Hungary , at a EU border. - The discovery of the functionning of an association - To provide volunteers a non-formal educational and intercultural learning experience - This project could contribute a lot to their future employability - The volunteers have the opportunity to realize a project within the area such as cultural projects, with a local impact Participant : The Alliance Française had been looking for a motivated young person willing to discover another country, its life style and habits, its people and way of thinking. Camille CHAYNE was the candidate chosen through a fair process of selection. Activities : The working environement of the volunteer is of collaborative type.
