About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Adichats works to preserve and promote our natural and built heritage. We even run several medieval castles. The Castles, and mostly the Villandraut’s Castel represent for us the perfect spot to organize events and create social bonds. Your missions: First, you'll dive into a feasibility study exploring how to create microclimates which can remain viable even with a temperature rise of 2 to 4 degrees. You'll also look into using natural materials and decarbonized building techniques to restore local heritage sites and probably anticipate the future of buildings. Next, you'll help develop an economic strategy model that can be applied to various territories, ultimately aiding in the creation of these microclimates. Ultimately, we will need you on a day-to-day basis for the association's and the castle's activities during the summer (visits, events, annual festival gathering between 2000 and 3000 visitors as well as restoration and cleaning of the castle).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be welcomed to the charming village of Villandraut, South Gironde. 1,000 awesome residents call it home. Villandraut has all the essential local shops and services. You're not in this adventure alone! You'll be with other super cool European volunteers. But here's the twist – get ready for some countryside living: public transport is as rare as a shooting star 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 + meal allowance to keep your energy levels maxed out!

🎒 Leisure activities

1. Super training : technical & educational training sessions offered by Union REMPART and our awesome partner networks. 2. Personalized Boost : We're here for you! You'll get personalized support, including orientation sessions, one-on-one chats, and all sorts of tips and tricks to help you level up. We'll make your missions feel like a breeze. We can adjust them based on your goals & dreams. 4. Epic team : You won't be alone in this adventure. You'll team up with other ESC volunteer and French volunteers on a mission. Together, you'll create some awesome projects.

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).
