🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Bergerac invites you to discover the Dordogne at the heart of its international workcamp. Reflecting the multicultural aspect of a project of young volunteers, the diversity of the actors of this project and actions will surprise all the participants. The Pombonne park, a high-quality educational environmental center, is a place very appreciated by Bergeracois (name of the inhabitants of Bergerac), and will be a privileged meeting place between residents and volunteers. The technical services of the park use sheep and other herbivores to maintain the meadows of the park and the city. You will help them build mobile shelters for the animals in order to allow this practice to be developed in new spaces. You will also participate in the maintenance of the facades of the building of the theater by repainting them.
A magnificent lake in the park will offer you afternoons by the water in or on the beach. The La Gargouille theater will host you on their lands. La Gargouille is looking forward to welcoming you on his place and to make you discover it. The international project is part of this approach to make this very technical association originally a space of life and exchange for local inhabitants and people from around the world passing through the region.
