About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

For the fourth consecutive year an international workcamp will be organised in the Pompey Castle! In the mid-term, the goal of the workcamp is to renovate the entire rampart in order to make it the background of an open-air theatre for the town hall of Pompey.

💼 What the programme involves

The workcamp consists in the rehabilitation of a part of the rampart between the towers number 8 and 10. You will maintain vegetation around the towers, weed plants and herbs, carefully list the stones, reconstruct and solidificate the identified parts of the fortification!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accomodation will be in tents

📍 About the location

Pompey is 10 minutes away from Nancy, city of the Duc Stanislas and his mythical Square Stanislas, considered as one of the top 5 most beautiful square in the world! It is 1h30 away from the capital, Paris, in high-speed train. The workcamp is just next to a tree-climbing park and other leisure activities. Come and enjoy the contacts with the local associations and inhabitants !

⚠️ Requirements

The site is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchairs. Places for 17 years old are really limited (maximum 1 French volunteer with fewer opportunities). The volunteers will be helped by 6 other local volunteers!
