Hi, there. :) 
Today, I'd like to introduce 'Maison de Quartier' in Clermont-ferrand. It means 'the house of district.' This is the social community center of each district. People who work there organize activities or festivals for local people, and manage this place. I found there are lots of programs for children, for example, a hiphop dance class, indian dance class, and plastic art class etc. Of course adults or ados also can join. I think it's good for either children or their parents. And almost everything is free or at very low price to join. So it's necessary to manage them by volunteers. I met good volunteers who really enjoy to work at maison de quartier.

Voila, these are photos about two maison de quartiers, and the right one is their fesival's poster.
Clermont-ferrand also has several 'quartiers' and I guess there are more maison de quartiers, but I've only visited two maison de quartier since I arrived. One is 'Croix de neyrat', where serbian evs volunteer works and the other is 'Champratel', where german evs volunteer works. I heard my servian friend is 7th evs volunteer who has worked in maison de quartier, so it would be good example to be able to explain the role of EVS. They work with children and local people everyday. They also can participate to organize a local festival, or exposition. For example, my german friend is planning to go to journey in germany with adolescents. He will take them to Berlin and guide. He had meetings with participants in person, and organized schedules together.
I don't work there, but my friends always invite me when there is a festival or exposition. Whenever I went there, I thought it's good opportunity to meet local people. Last saturday, there was a great festival in Champratel where my german friend works. And it was really succesful. There were lots of people and everyone enjoyed. Of course I also enjoyed. :) Look at this photo, you can see my german friend and others who are really great indian dancer. :) I hope you guys also have good opportunity to get along with local people like me!
