📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

L'association Adichats a pour objet la création et le maintien des liens sociaux. L’histoire, les patrimoines architectural, culturel et naturel en sont les vecteurs principaux. L’animation sociale, l’action culturelle et éducative, l’insertion et l’inclusion sociale, la formation et l’éducation populaire en sont les outils essentiels. Nos publics, aussi variés que nos actions, découvrent, vivent, agissent, bâtissent et se reconstruisent grâce aux patrimoines. Nous accueillons autant des enfants que des adultes, des personnes en difficultés, des familles ou des personnes seules, des enseignants ou des touristes. Tout le monde est accueilli sans aucune considération d'origine, de religion, de race, de sexe. Actions : chantier de restauration du patrimoine, ateliers citoyens, médiation culturelle The purpose of the Adichats association is to create and maintain social ties. History, architectural, cultural and natural heritage are the main vectors. Social animation, cultural and educational action, integration and social inclusion, training and popular education are the essential tools. Our audiences, as varied as our actions, discover, live, act, build and rebuild themselves thanks to heritage. We welcome children as well as adults, people in difficulty, families or single people, teachers or tourists. Everybody's welcomed without any consideration of the origin, the religion, the race, the gender. Actions: heritage restoration site, citizen workshops, cultural mediation

💼 What the programme involves

Adichats is an association that works to create social bounds and promote green practices through heritage preservation - we run several medieval castles! Your mission would be to help us achieve those social and environmental objectives: 1. HERITAGE PRESERVATION AND LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT - Get involved in cultural events and engage with diverse audiences; - Contribute to the development of new cultural mediation tools; - Organise intercultural gatherings; - Encourage local residents to explore European mobility programs. 2. ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION - Evaluate our current practices and suggest eco-friendly alternatives, bringing your European point of view; - Play a role in organising environmental awareness initiatives (like the medieval shared garden project and educational workshops)

🏠 Accommodation on site

But here's the twist – get ready for some countryside living: there is no much public transportation around, but fear not! We've got a car and bicycles to share. We also work with a local organisation that set up a carpooling platform. You will receive a meal allowance to keep your energy levels maxed out!

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
