🏢 About the local organisation
A fulfilling experience that embraces differences and self-discovery, as well as teaching teens manual and useful skills. This workcamp takes place on site at Citrus association in the beautiful village of Laguépie, between two rivers. For the past ten years, we have been renovating an old farm with the help of many teenager workcamps and the involvement of local and international volunteers. You will be fully involved in this ongoing project.
💼 What the programme involves
This year the group will work on the improvement of our site by constructing artistic elements to decorate our future “park” and shared space. We also plan to start working around a new building called “the Maurel farm” by clearing it up before starting renovation work. All the work will be supervised by members of the Citrus association. Accompanied by energetic hosts, you will have numerous opportunities of rich cultural exchanges as well as shared meals with Citrus staff and local volunteers. This project will bring together 5 French, 5 German, and 5 participants of a third country as part of a partnership with the Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In tents at the Citrus site in Mayounelle, with access to a sanitary block and a kitchen under a tent.
