About the project

ESC: CBB's Garden

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

At the end of 2020, CBB received the management of a plot of land of around 20 acres, near the center of Marche-en-Famenne, in order to work on the theme of ecological transition and responsible consumption while creating activities that encourage the meeting of small groups of young people. We developed the plot into a garden, where we lead workshops (discovery of permaculture, construction of nest boxes, insect hotels, vegetable beds, etc.) and cultivate useful resources for young people who invest in our activities. We want our garden to become a place of meeting and (bio)diversity. It will live and evolve thanks to the interaction of the young people involved. Above all, our garden must allow us to cultivate social ties, such as sustainable and inclusive practices between more or less vulnerable young people, with or without disabilities. Your help will ensure the renovation and improvement of the rural landscape of Marche-en-Famenne.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation can be compared to a boarding school (Saint François complex): a corridor with double bedrooms; toilets and showers are at the same floor. No smoking inside. Food: self-catering. Bring your recipes to enjoy ‘kitchen life’! Transport arrangement the volunteers will be picked up at the closest train station. WE REQUIRE A SENDING ORGANISATION: please refer to http://www.alliance-network.eu/membership/full-members/ to get to know our partners and contact them

🎒 Leisure activities

With the help of a professional for the half of the time the volunteers will extend a dry stone wall built in the previous workcamp by international volunteers in order to separate the garden itself from the part of the field developed as relaxation area with tables and benches in wood.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: BEWARE: This workcamp is based on manual and outdoor tasks which might be sometimes hard. Everyone ready for manual tasks is welcome, no prior experience or knowledge required
Deadline: Application deadline: 01/07/2024

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
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
