📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Le projet associatif d'études ET chantiers trouve son fondement dans deux convictions : • notre société ne sera vivante que lorsque ceux qui la composent seront actifs et responsables. • les ressources nécessaires à cette évolution se trouvent au sein de chacune et de chacun. Nous voulons rendre possible - par une pédagogie active - la participation effective et concrète de tous à la transformation des espaces de vie. L'association études ET chantiers Engagement Civique a pour objet la promotion d'un travail différent pour un développement solidaire. Elle entend développer toute forme de participation des jeunes et des adultes (éloignés ou non de l'emploi) à l'aménagement, l'équipement, l'animation, la sauvegarde et la gestion des espaces de vie. Elle favorise la mobilité européenne et internationale de tous les jeunes, y compris avec moins d'opportunités, sur des expériences d'engagement solidaire. Chaque année, notre mouvement national envoie et accueille des centaines de jeunes et moins jeunes sur des chantiers internationaux de bénévoles et des projets de mobilité à court, moyen et long terme. Nous sommes membres du réseau Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations, actifs dans le groupe de travail ""Access for All" (Mobilité pour Tous) encourageant la participation active et la mobilité des jeunes avec moins d'opportunités. Chez Etudes et Chantiers Engagement Civique nous avons développé un secteur Formation et un secteur Service Civique depuis 2015. Plusieurs chantiers 2020 seront certainement renouvelés avec les mêmes bailleurs d'ouvrage en 2021: - Patrimoine classé ou inscrit aux Monuments Historiques en lien avec la DRAC: Pompey (entretien de différentes parties du chateau) et Nomeny (entretien de différentes parties du chateau et de l'église) - Patrimoine-Environnement: Saint-Mihiel (réhabilitation de murets en pierre sèche) et Joeuf (aménagements publics le long de l'Orne), L'Atelier Vert à Rosières-aux-Salines (éducation à l'environnement) D'autres projets se trouvent à des stades variés de discussion et de montage tels qu'avec le collectif Mets le Son autour du festival "La Palette" à Maron fin juin, patrimoine et environnement à Champigneulles, Vaudémont ou Dieulouard, construction d'habitat autonome à Vittel avec l'association Vit Tel Ta Nature, etc. Nous avons un projet en cours de montage avec la Cité des paysages de conception participative de mobilier rural par les usagers divers de la Colline de Sion. The associative project of studies AND building sites finds its foundation in two convictions: - our society will only be alive when those who compose it are active and responsible. - The resources necessary for this evolution are to be found within each and every one of them. We want to make possible - through an active pedagogy - the effective and concrete participation of all in the transformation of living spaces. The association Etudes ET chantiers Engagement Civique aims to promote a different kind of work for solidarity development. It intends to develop all forms of participation of young people and adults (whether or not far from employment) in the development, equipment, animation, protection and management of living spaces. It promotes the European and international mobility of all young people, including those with fewer opportunities, on experiences of solidarity commitment. Every year, our national movement sends and welcomes hundreds of young and less young people on international volunteer workcamps and short-, medium- and long-term mobility projects. We are members of the network Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations, active in the working group ""Access for All"" (Mobility for All) encouraging the active participation and mobility of young people with fewer opportunities. At Etudes et Chantiers Engagement Civique we have developed a Training sector and a Civic Service sector since 2015. Several 2020 projects will certainly be renewed with the same sponsors in 2021: - Heritage listed or registered as Historic Monuments in connection with the DRAC: Pompey (maintenance of different parts of the castle) and Nomeny (maintenance of different parts of the castle and the church). - Patrimoine-Environment: Saint-Mihiel (rehabilitation of dry stone walls) and Joeuf (public facilities along the Orne River), L'Atelier Vert in Rosières-aux-Salines (environmental education) Other projects are at various stages of discussion and editing, such as with the Mets le Son collective around the "La Palette" festival in Maron at the end of June, heritage and environment in Champigneulles, Vaudémont or Dieulouard, construction of autonomous housing in Vittel with the association Vit Tel Ta Nature, etc. We have a project in progress with the Cité des Paysages for the participatory design of rural furniture by various users of the Colline de Sion.

💼 What the programme involves

To apply send an EMAIL with your motivation and your profile (skills, interests...) to: [email protected]. Please called the email by the title of the project. This workcamp takes place at the Institut des Sourds in Jarville-la-Malgrange, near Nancy, which supports deaf and hard-of-hearing youth. Together with the young people, volunteers will design and create a collective mural guided by a street artist, exploring accessible artistic techniques from sketching to painting. They will also take part in small renovation and home-staging tasks to improve and transform living spaces. The project combines creativity, hands-on work and inclusion, offering a unique intercultural experience. Working side by side with deaf youth, volunteers will discover new ways of communicating, including sign language, while sharing daily life and contributing to a meaningful project within the local community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is provided less than 500 meters from the Institute, in “La Maison de Vandoeuvre”, with shared sleeping areas, common spaces, showers and toilets. Meals are served at the Institute on weekdays and at the house on weekends. A washing machine and Wi-Fi are available. Local transport for project activities is organised if needed.

🎒 Leisure activities

Guided by a street artist, you will discover and experiment with accessible artistic techniques, from sketching to large-scale mural painting, and learn how to design and create a collective artwork step by step. You will also be introduced to basic renovation and home-staging techniques to improve living spaces. No specific skills are required: motivation, creativity and openness are all you need!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This workcamp is open to everyone (regardless of gender, age or nationality) who is motivated to take part in a collective and inclusive project. We especially expect volunteers to be sensitive to issues related to hearing disability and ready to embrace new ways of communicating beyond spoken language. Curiosity, patience and open-mindedness are essential! If you need support to prepare your participation, feel free to contact us. The main requirement is your motivation: tell us in your cover letter why you would like to join this meaningful human experience.
Deadline: 15/04/2026 23:59

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).
