The municipality of Corps-Nuds welcomes you for its first international workcamp, in partnership with the youth service in order to bond with young people from the territory.
💼 What the programme involves
For this first year, you will work on one of the buildings at the sites entrance using traditional masonry techniques: cleaning the walls (inside and outside) and the surroundings (de-vegetation), repairing the joints, replacing missing stones or changing damaged pieces of the first floor door …
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep on the green area in the enclosure of the site in two-person tents (please bring your mat and sleeping bag). The group activities and meals will take place in a room made available to the group. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader, shopping will be done with him/her and you will participate in the preparation of dishes with products from the market and local producers (if possible).
📍 About the location
Corps-Nuds (around 3200 inhabitants) is located on the territory of Rennes Métropole in Ille-et-Vilaine, a 30 minutes drive away from Rennes, capital of Brittany. You will be able to realize activities linked with local young people and share friendly moments with the people. You will also visit Rennes and make a trip to the beach of Saint-Malo.
⚠️ Requirements
You will have to bring warm clothes (trousers, sweater; socks, closed shoes, rain clothes) and light ones (skirt or shorts, t-shirt, open shoes) because weather can change very suddenly in Brittany. You can literally experience all four seasons in one day! Please also take with you working clothes, gloves and shoes as well as your best swimsuit. Bring a warm sleeping bag and an insulated camping mat as nights are sometimes fresh and wet.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
