💼 What the programme involves
Come to animate a small town in the heart of Brittany and enhance a beautiful site near a creek!
The municipality of Bon Repos sur Blavet welcomes you for its second international workcamp where you will help to enhance a site at the west of the town where a ruined chapel is located, the chapel of Troluzon! An opportunity to discover the local culture and make unforgettable intergenerational encounters. You will work on the follow-up to a construction site carried out in 2020: after cleaning the site, the idea is now to install a wooden structure in order to solidify the frame and crystallize the top of the walls.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in two-person tents near the sport field (please bring your camping mat and a sleeping bag for cold weather). The group activities and meals will take place in a room available to the group. The group will share the cleaning tasks and prepare meals together.
