Après pas mal de recherches, j'ai décidé de faire le Service Volontaire Européen. J'ai donc commencé les démarches en Juin 2009. J'ai commencé par prendre contact avec l'association Etudes et Chantiers (UNAREC), grâce à laquelle je suis partie en chantiers et qui a accepté de devenir mon organisation d'envoi.Ensuite, en Juillet, j'ai recherché dans la base de données SVE les projets qui m'intéressaient. Et après des heures et des heures de lectures, de réflexion et de trie (parfois en m'arrachant un peu les cheveux vu que les descriptions sont des pavés compacts en anglais !!), j'ai envoyé mon CV et ma lettre de motivation à une trentaine d'associations, un peu partout en Europe, surtout en Europe de l'Est, du Nord et en Espagne, fin Juillet. J'ai surtout ciblé mes recherches sur le contenu des projets, plus que sur les pays.
Direct, j'ai reçu des réponses négatives ou des mails non délivrés. Mais seulement quelques jours après, début Août, j'ai reçu la réponse de l'association Roumaine YMCA Baia Mare, me disant que j'étais pré-selectionnée. J'ai été super surprise de recevoir une réponse positive si rapidement ! j'ai passé ensuite un week end entier à réfléchir et à me documenter sur la Roumanie et le projet avant de leur confirmer que j'étais toujours intéressée.
Il a fallu ensuite convenir du début du projet, de la durée etc... avec l'organisation d'accueil. Entre temps, quelques frayeurs que tout coule à l'eau ! Mon organisation d'envoi m'a alors accompagnée dans les démarches pour pouvoir passer à la commission européenne du premier Septembre.
Puis longue attente, assez stressante (entre temps j'ai renvoyé CV et lettres de motivation dans d'autres associations, au cas où !), avant de recevoir, mi-Octobre... l'accord de la commission européenne ! :))
Et depuis je prépare le départ, obsédée par ce SVE imminent (début mi-Janvier) !! Au programme, démission, plus d'appart, démarches administratives, billets d'avion etc...

After a lot of researches, I have decided to do the European Voluntary Service. I began the process in June 2009. I began by contacting the french Etudes et Chantiers (UNAREC) association because I had already participated to international workcamps thanks to it. Then, they accepted to become my sending organization.
After, in July, I reaserched in the EVS data base the projects I was interested in. After hours and hours of reading, thinking and sorting (sometimes it was enough to make me tear my hair out because it was english compact blocks !!), I sent CV and motivation letter to nearly 30 host associations, all around Europe, particularly in est Europe, north Europe and in Spain, during the end of July.
I directly received negative answers and not delivered messages. But only some days after, in the begining of August, I received an answer from the romanian YMCA Baia Mare association, telling me that I was preselected. I used to be really surprised to received a postive answer so quickly ! Next, I spent the all week end to think about and to research informations about Romania and the project before confirming them I was still interested.
Later, with the sending and the host organization, we had to agree on the begining date, the duration, etc... During this time, I have been frightened several times that this project would be brought down ! My sending organization have helped me during the process to present my file before the 1st September deadline for asking the european agreement.
After, a very long and stressfull waiting time (during this time, I sent again CV and motivation letters to other associations in the case I would not have got the european agreement !), before receiving, in the middle of October... the european agreement ! :))
Since this time, I am preparing the departure, obsessed by this imminent EVS (departure in the midle of January) !! In the program, handing my resignation, no more flat, administrative process, flat tickets, etc...
