📝 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 (ANEC12ESC). Join a unique international workcamp and help build the school of tomorrow! Working alongside local residents and municipal staff, you will produce 4,000 eco-friendly clay bricks using traditional, low-impact techniques and locally sourced materials. Every brick you make will contribute to a sustainable school designed for future generations. Beyond the work, you'll experience intercultural exchange, shared community life, and meaningful teamwork while discovering the Grand Est region. No previous experience is needed—just curiosity, motivation, and a willingness to make a positive impact together.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The group of volunteers will be accommodated in a permanent building, specifically, premises made available by the Jarville-la-Malgrange town hall, which also includes a kitchen and sanitary facilities. The premises span several floors. You will find on site : Single-sex double rooms Blankets provided Permanent toilets (on each floor) Permanent showers Indoor kitchen Dining/living area and relaxation space adjoining the kitchen Coin-operated laundromat nearby Pump for air mattresses

🎒 Leisure activities

Supported by trained municipal staff, you will learn every step of traditional clay brick making using natural, locally sourced materials. You will discover how to prepare the soil, mix it with water and natural fibres, fill and compact the moulds, demould the bricks, and leave them to dry naturally. No technical skills are required—everyone is welcome! This workcamp is a great opportunity to learn eco-construction techniques while contributing to a meaningful community project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This workcamp is open to everyone (regardless of gender, age, nationality...) with the unfortunately exception of people with reduced mobility, as the work site is not accessible to wheelchairs. If you need support in your country to register and prepare your trip, it is possible, do not hesitate to ask us by email. The only condition to participate is your motivation! Explain to us in your cover letter what drives you to apply for this action: we are interested!

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
