France Volontaires Mentorship Programme
Subtitle Education Part
Aged 21 to 24, and bringing together various backgrounds and profiles, African volunteers team up with cultural institutions across France that are partners of the Africa2020 Season. They take part in a civic service programme in partnership with the AFD and France Volontaires for a period ranging between 6 and 12 month to help develop the Season’s projects.
This programme relies on structures in both France and Africa in a spirit of partnership. It also includes support for young persons at the end of their volunteering period to help them develop their "project for the future". The programme is carried out through a unique cooperation with France Volontaires, the Institut français, the Agence française de développement (AFD) and the Civic Service Agency.
