🏢 About the local organisation
Come join us in a great project from the Citrus organization and participate to the renovation of the future international host center in Laguépie. For more than ten years, teenagers from around the globe have succeeded each other to build, renovate, conceive and shape a big project. In order to build an international host center for international volunteers in Citrus, come discover, learn and share building techniques in the spirit of working together. Since 2012, it is in the hamlet of the Mayounelle, on the hills above Laguépie, that are located the three buildings of Citrus organization : the offices, the barn and the ancient farm house in stone, all surrounded by green fields, with a great view of the village of Laguépie. Accompanied by dynamic facilitators, you will share working hours, but also many moments of intercultural exchange, as well as meals with the team and other volunteers, welcomed on the camp place.
💼 What the programme involves
You will participate to the site layout by making your own contribution to Citrus, for instance the stone wall building and the creation of an artistic cobblestone. The cobblestone allows volunteers to be creative and use their imagination, by creating collectively a pattern, and to decide the size and precise location of the cobblestone. The stone wall building will allow to facilitate the identification of different areas of Citrus.
Five mornings a week, you will work in teams. The schedule will be arranged depending on the weather.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Under tents on Citrus site, with an access to the sanitary block and a well-equipped kitchen. Your food will be prepared by the volunteers themselves. In this everyday life mission, you will be accompanied by the facilitators. Choices will be made to enhance a healthy balance depending on your preferences and local and seasonal production.
