Accompany the residents to return the mill park to its original beauty!
For this first partnership, the municipality of Carbon-Blanc (www.carbon-blanc.fr) is hosting a construction site in the heart of the city. Young international volunteers will meet the residents and will be able to develop an intercultural link. And it is this link that is so important for the Concordia association.
In the Moulin de Bellevue park, the laurels have invaded almost all the space, nearly 3000 m² of land. You will participate in their weeding so that the original luxuriant flora can regain its place in the environment. You will revive the paths and shady corners that lead to this magnificent old windmill.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in the heart of the city, where you will sleep in tents, girls and boys separated. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare meals together, in order to experience group life! With the allocated budget, you will take part in the shopping, privileging healthy and local products.
