💼 What the programme involves
*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION ***
*** French version at the end of the description ***
This workcamp will give you an opportunity to get involved in activities at “Fontaine-du-bac”, one of Clermont-Ferrand’s neighbourhoods. We offer you the opportunity to develop your artistic talents!
For several years now the city of Clermont-Ferrand has elaborated participative projects in cooperation with the local population. Last summer, a first workcamp was welcomed in this neighbourhood to create a large graffiti mural on the wall of the football stadium. It is very much appreciated by the locals.
The animators of the Community Centre would like to welcome new volunteers to create murals with graffiti paint or mosaic. There is a lot of supports in the neighbourhood that could be painted or decorated: buildings housing, electricity transformers, benches, stairs, garage walls, etc. The final project will be chosen with the inhabitants during this spring. A camp leader will be at your side to teach you spray painting or mosaic techniques.

The urban area of Clermont-Ferrand is Auvergne's lively regional capital. It is located in an exceptional volcanic area, at the foot of the Puy de Dome volcano which summit can be accessed with a panoramic train.

It will be a rich and varied trip.
