Infopack MFR - MUNDUS

in MFR de Cerisy!
SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The “MFR du Paysage” in Cerisy-Belle-Étoile is a work-linked training

center preparing future groundskeepers and landscapers and
receiving students (95% boys) between 14 and 18 years old, and even
adults in some specific courses.
It is located in the green hills of “Swiss Normandy”, 8 km far from Flers,
the nearest urban center (15.000 peoples), 10 km far from Condé-sur-
Noireau, and 1 hour far from Caen, the regional capital and the D-Day
beaches.
A team composed with 10 trainers, 2 secretaries, 2 assistants, 1
householder, 2 catering employees, and 1 maintenance man, and led
by a director, runs the school and all the activities.
Each week here is different from the others, due to the fact that there are not always the same groups at
the same time, and that there are many activities and projects all over the year.
The daily work is composed with a pedagogical part and a residential part.
On pedagogical side, it's mainly about teaching and organising learning activities for students.
On residential side, it's about giving quality times and spaces to relax and enjoy daily life when out of
the classroom, considering than most of the students spend their whole week in the MFR from monday
morning to friday afternoon, having meals and sleeping here too.

GOING OUT AROUND CERISY-BELLE-ETOILE
Normandy is a region full of interesting places to see.

The most remarkable are the Mont Saint Michel, Rouen, the tapestry of Bayeux and the D-Day beaches.
Normandy is known for its ever-green-grass, which means it's quite a rainy part. So you'd rather always
have a raincoat or an umbrella with you!
Le Mont Saint Michel
In summer, the temperatures will reach between 20° to 25° C. In
winter, it rarely drops below -5°C but due to air humidity you may feel
it colder.
French peoples might not have the same working hours as you are
used to.
For example, banks open later or not at all on Mondays. However,
they also close later.
In France it is common to buy food at the market. Flers has its own
Le marché de Flers market on Wednesday morning.
French peoples use to "faire la bise" which means you typically
kiss each other on the cheek to say hello and goodbye. However,
different rules apply for different genders, age groups, and (work)
relationships. Always take your time to observe local habits, and
don't be surprised someone greets you this way. However, if you
don't feel comfortable with it, just offer your handshake with your
nicest smile and it will be ok.
France is known for all its gastronomy, so go and taste everything.
Moreover, as a multicultural city, Flers will offer you many tipes of
La tapisserie de Bayeux foods and drinks. Don't be afraid of accepting any invitation to
discover and have good time.
This is your opportunity to try something new and to get involved. Although Flers seems small, even
here there are a lot of opportunities to move and enjoy. Join a local sports club, try taking up music
classes (maybe even in the MJC) or do something by yourself (reading, painting, jogging, yoga, …). In
addition, try to stay in touch with other volunteers and people that you'll meet here in France so you can
visit each other or go on travelling together!
