📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Ansacq, 217 inhabitants, is a charming small town in the hollow of a Valley crossed by a little river (the “Rû de Moineau”) and surrounded by woods. The mayor wants to preserve the heritage character of the village, revive the village and involve the whole community, youth and elders alike. Less than an hour far from Paris, it is a volunteer workcamp in full nature in the heart of the Oise county.
💼 What the programme involves
The Town Hall is an old building surrounded by a stone wall that needs refreshment. Your job will be to conceal stones, stake out and restore the joints with lime according to traditional building techniques.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in the heart of the village, in tents, with boys and girls separated. You’ll use the communal room for the daily life (cooking, meals, showers and toilets…)
📍 About the location
Ansacq is 8 km from Clermont, halfway between Beauvais and Compiègne, a city known for its forest, its castle and the "the armistice wagon", where the 1st World War armistice in 1918 was signed. More information: http://www.ansacq.fr/
⚠️ Requirements
Remember to take clothes for the manual work and closed-toe shoes like baskets. For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat. Please feel free to bring some food specialities, pictures, musical instrument: things you like and want to share with the group and the local community! Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
