🏢 About the local organisation
For the second year running, Concordia is teaming up with the Orée en Bercé community to set up a work camp in one of its communes, which this year is Laigné en Belin.
Laigné en Belin has a population of 2,300 inhabitants and is located in the Sarthe region.
💼 What the programme involves
Looking for a rewarding experience this summer? Join us for our exciting international work camp in Lavigne en Belin! We're looking for motivated volunteers to help create a unique community space in one of the local neighbourhoods.
Together, the group will help to create eco-responsible landscaping that will transform the neighbourhood's urban environment into a responsible and pleasant living space for everyone. Through the building of special types of benches and pergolas, this project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to positive change.
Whether you have a passion for gardening, DIY, ecology or simply want to get involved in an international adventure, this project is for you! Join our international team and discover the pleasure of working together towards a common goal.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sleeping in individual tents at the Laigné en Belin stadium (bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat). The sanitary facilities and kitchen will be hard-standing, in premises provided for the group. You will have access to the stadium gymnasium for your activities. You will share various collective tasks (such as cleaning) and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the group leaders, and you will help with the shopping and meal preparation, giving priority to healthy, local products. You can share your favourite recipes if you wish. Laundry done by hand, no WIFI connection.
