📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Do you want to immerse yourself in a more ecological way of life? This volunteering is for you!
You will discover a way of life that is totally respectful of the environment, and you will learn good practices to reproduce and pass on to your home! This summer, the eco-hamlet needs your help! A work around wood is planned, it will be an opportunity to test yourself on various techniques. Romain, a local resident and technical supervisor, will guide you through the woodworking by sharing his knowledges with you. Together you will make wooden gutters for the GRAOUNGE, a place for artists' residencies, but also a pontoon with local wood and prepare logs for the cold Cantal winters!
You will also have the opportunity to discover the AlterTour. Organised by ALTERNATIBA, an association campaigning for ecological and social transition, La Feina is hosting a stage of this event: it is a travelling bicycle tour through France, to meet and promote ecological alternatives spreading in France.
🏠 Accommodation on site
