🏢 About the local organisation
In the heart of Auvergne, since 2001, volunteers have been participating to maintaining and renovating the natural and built heritage of the town of Aurillac. Etudes et Chantiers organised a partnership with the townhall in 2014 for local volunteers to meet and participate to activities together with the volunteers of the workcamp.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will take part in the arrangement of new plots in Aurillac's shared gardens. New huts will be built along with a wooden path leading to them. Volunteers will contribute to the shared garden's life, a real piece of heaven during the summer.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in tents (2 persons per tent) in a local camping. Daily life is managed by the volunteers (shopping, cooking, and cleaning) under a big collective tent. Showers and toilets are in a building in the camping site.
