💼 What the programme involves
Come share in the daily lives of long term international youth volunteers
welcomed at Laguépie and participate in a solidary project. A few kilometers from the heart
of Laguépie, discover a place of multiple facets! The workcamp is taking place on the site
of the Ségala center, a place maintaining its rural roots. The main mission will be to refresh
a small outdoor building, the development of a garden, and the renovation of several
rooms such as a theater, which is a hotspot for local cultural dynamism. The project will
ensemble 5 French, 5 German, and 5 Armenian participants with the Franco-German
office for Youth (OFAJ) support.
You will participate in various building maintenance tasks like renovation work,
painting, installing insulation, cleaning a small cobblestone path, and weeding the garden.
You will be supervised by a dynamic staff and the volunteers of the association of the
Foyer of Ségala with whom you will share your time working together, but also many
moments of intercultural exchange and shared meals.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay on the site in big dormitories. You will have access to
bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. This site is 3 km from the heart of the village.
