Volunteering opportunity for French-speaker
23 May 2017 (Xchange Scotland)
Xchange Scotland, a Glasgow-based youth-led charity, is offering a brand-new, unique volunteering opportunity.
Thanks to a strong partnership with French organisation Solidarites Jeunesses, six young French volunteers will be coming to Glasgow for a two-week long placement.
Xchange Scotland are looking for local French-speaking volunteers/students who would like to join the group of French volunteers and practise their language skills as well as help with project organisation. The level of French language of local volunteers should be preferably between A2-C2 level. This is an opportunity for local volunteers to practise French language with native speakers here in Glasgow as well as develop organisation and communication skills.
The participants will, for the duration of the project, be based in Auchindrain and join the museum’s outdoor workforce there. This is a small team consisting of young people (many with disabilities) undergoing training, which operates under the direction and supervision of a highly-experienced agricultural worker. This approach offers participants the chance to vary the work they do and gain experience in a variety of activities. The project aims to develop skills and intercultural understanding and also benefit the local community in Auchindrian.
Volunteers will be based in Auchindrain for two weeks from 31st July to 13th August 2017.
More information is available in the attached file or by email to Chiara Varesio.
