📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This is the 18th successive workcamp in Avricourt! This small village of barely 200 inhabitants makes every effort to give the best greetings to the volunteers; some of them even came back. Village meals, dining invitation, gifts of jams and vegetables from the garden are a classic in Avricourt. Several exchanges in perspective, and with the team leaders, you will organize meetings and animations in the village and the school. Be careful, you are very much expected! A concert will close up the workcamp on the evening of the 22nd of September.
💼 What the programme involves
This year continuing the work done since 2011 you will help the renovation of the church. You will do traditional masonry work outside the church: recovery of joints of the walls, staking out, repointing, a few bricks to change, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live in the village hall with an equipped kitchen (community oven, dishwasher, etc.). You will use camp beds to sleep, bring your sleeping bag. Note: there is only one shower and one toilet to share. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together.
📍 About the location

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.
