About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The municipality of Port-de-Bouc, located by the sea in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, is a long-standing partner of Concordia. Always deeply committed to welcoming volunteers and supporting projects, they're doing everything possible to offer a friendly and enriching stay, marked by intercultural exchanges in particular with young people from the town who will come and help on the construction site during immersion days. The municipality and Concordia are also organizing the construction site inauguration event.

💼 What the programme involves

Discover the town of Port-de-Bouc and take part in a beautiful project to renovate the town's cultural heritage. The program includes renovating the iron statues by Port-de-Bouc artist Raymond Moralès (cleaning, varnishing, brushing, finishing), and setting up the exhibition space for the statues.The aim is to preserve and promote the town's cultural heritage by making it accessible to all. This project will be an opportunity to learn many different techniques. An enriching experience that combines learning new skills, creativity, and intercultural encounters!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in individual tents provided by Concordia at the municipal campsite in Port-de-Bouc. A bungalow will be reserved for the group as a living space with a dining area. Toilets and showers will be available at the campsite. Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be given to the team leaders, and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with priority on healthy, local products.

📍 About the location

Port-de-Bouc is located on the Mediterranean coast, in the south of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and close to the Calanques of Marseille. The region offers a dynamic and sunny environment ideal for walks. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area with sports activities (hiking, swimming in the sea, lake, outdoor sports, etc.), activities to meet the local population and intercultural exchanges (e.g., shared world meals, pétanque tournaments, etc.). With the entertainment team, you can organize these outings to discover local treasures while enjoying moments of relaxation and sharing.
