🏢 About the local organisation
Auger Saint Vincent, 500 inhabitants, is a charming village in Oise County.
The village wants to animate local life and encourage the participation of all the inhabitants by supporting initiatives such as the Concordia workcamps to promote inter-generational "living together". In April takes place a citizenship day. All inhabitants and Concordia are invited to beautify the village. A volunteer workcamp one hour far from Paris deep into the Picardie nature.
💼 What the programme involves
The technical aim of our intervention is to repair the wall of the Town Hall. It is approximately 13 metres long and 2.50 metres at the highest point. The stones' sizes and shapes that form the wall show the different times of the work. The current wall coronation is presented in the form of a warhead and all of the elements of the frame are cement coated. On the other hand, some soft stone blocks are largely eroded by successive storms. Your role will be to take over the joints and replace missing or damaged stones, using traditional techniques with lime to ensure the continuity of the work and safety for the children.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in the heart of the village in tents, with boys and girls separated. You can use the hall of the football stadium for your daily needs (cooking and taking meals, showers and toilets).
📍 About the location
