For this edition of the Belgian National Games, volunteers will help on several aspects of the event logistics, such as assembling and dismantling of structures, building and putting up the decorations, transport and unloading of material, waste management.

Volunteers will work with several teams of the organisation before and after the Games. During the 3 days of competitions, volunteers will provide guidance to athletes for one of the disciplines of the competition: a precision ball sport, related to bowls and "pétanque" called Bocce.
The Opening Ceremony as well as the Torch Run will take place on May 9th while the Games will close the 11 of May.

There is a market and small shops in the village. A bus line makes the connection with Tournai (every hour during the day). The countryside is flat, which makes it easy to bike (a few bikes will be available). Tournai is a touristic place for old stones, history and museums lovers. Its cathedral is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

"L’Enfance de l'Art", founded in 1997, is an association which aims to help parents in their education role. The organisation aims to gather people willing to bring to their children a creative learning environment where they can find the joy in learning and experience the richness of childhood rather than early specialisation or academic hot-housing. Parents and professionals work together in the structures created by the organisation: leisure workshops, nurseries, schools, kindergarten. To do so, the association follows the principles of Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy.

Altogether, those activities gather a total of 155 children.

This building in now in a process of renovation which the volunteers will take part in.

Arbeit

This project is based on a dynamic meeting between the volunteers and the residents of the centre.
With the help of technical leaders, the volunteers and the residents will work together to improve the quality of life and well-being in the center: painting some rooms and corridors, building benches and tables, creation of 2 games storage boxes and proposing leisure activities and workshops to the residents and specially youngsters and kids: sports, crafts, games, treasure hunt, film projection, debate…
Feel free to bring your fresh ideas.
Sugny’s center wants also to create more connections and share between the residents and the local community and so they would like to organize an event (to be confirmed) around the theme of the “Kitchen of the World” during the week-end of the festivities for the Belgian National Day (21th of July).
BEWARE : Probably volunteers will work during the week-end (20th – 21th of July) and they will have free time on Monday and Tuesday.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will be lodged in a common room (dormitory) in a building next to the central one. Showers are accessible in the central building. A washing machine is also available.
BEWARE : Volunteers will share the same living conditions of the residents that are really “basic”.
The food will be provided by the center and you will eat in the refectory with the residents. There is also a kitchen available if you want to propose to the others your favourite meal ;)

Lage und Freizeit

Sugny is a small and isolated village in the south of Belgium nearby the French border. By choosing this workcamp, you decide to live in the nature. All around, there are fields, woods and small villages. But there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment: football fields, basketball playgrounds… During the weekend, and according to the group decisions, it will be possible to organise cultural visits and to travel to the biggest Belgian cities.
BEWARE: the place is really isolated.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre hosts people who have asked for international protection in Belgium. These people fled situations of war, persecution, discriminations, environmental disasters…. But before to feel actually established in Belgium and allowed to build their future here, their refugee status has to be proven and accepted through a long administrative process. While waiting for the documents that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the asylum seekers are accommodated in this centre.
People living there await the solution concerning their administrative status. They never know what tomorrow may bring to them.
Therefore, residents often found themselves overwhelmed by feelings of relief and anguish, hope and disappointment. The life of Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre reflects these individual dramas and hopefulness of residents.
Website (available in English): https://www.fedasil.be/en
This project is organized in line with several other volunteering teams hosted in refugees center in Belgium. It aims to bring a small contribution to the welcoming of the residents as well as to permit the volunteers to learn about and be better aware of the realities of the migration policies.
By volunteering for this project, you are actively helping the centre welcome people coming from a wide variety of difficult situations and take care of them while they are waiting for a response to their asylum request (UN SDG 10 Reduced inequalities).

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The 13th of July at Gedinne train station at 3.00pm.

Anforderungen

This project is a volunteering team, supported by the European Solidarity Corps program of the European Union.
Compared to the usual workcamp participation scheme, some main financial and administrative
differences must be underlined:
 The participation to the ESC volunteering teams is subjects to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en
 The volunteers do not have to pay any fee (not sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project
 The volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of 4€/day, once they arrive on the project in Belgium
 The volunteers will receive a financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established in accordance with their travel distance
 The volunteers need to register on the European Solidarity Corps Portal; CBB will organize their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project
 The volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online by the ESC portal

We warn the volunteers that the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden inside the centre.

The volunteers are required to have basic knowledge of French.
Besides, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about group’s animation (songs, music, dance, plays…) and to be able to assume responsibility within a group. Be able to listen to others is very important there. This kind of workcamp is a very rich personal and human experience. It makes people aware of the complexity of certain social conditions related to the great inequalities on our planet.
In order to demonstrate this, we ask the candidate volunteers:
 to answer our specific questionnaire (if you do not have it yet, please ask it to your sending organization)
 to send us a criminal record

We will not confirm any placement request before the analysis of these documents.
