📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Statutory object : CONCORDIA is a non-profit organisation for Youth and Popular Education founded in 1950 with the aim to promote international exchanges of young volunteers. Concordia's objectives are : - To contribute to the animation of the social life by the participation of French and foreign volunteers in the realization of civil works of general interest. - To promote the circulation of people and ideas through international exchanges in order to develop knowledge, mutual understanding and peace. - To promote an education project, encouraging an active citizenship of people for a democratic, united and participatory society. Organization: Concordia has a national headquarters and 11 delegations spread throughout France. Concordia Midi Pyrénées is the local office in the South-Western area surrounding Toulouse. We are specialized in hosting short and long-term volunteering projects, such as : • ESC programs (youth exchanges and hosting long-term ESC volunteers) • international workcamps, • local specific youth programs, • rural development projects with local stakeholders and institutions, • awareness education workshops. As of September 2021 Concordia Midi Pyrénées is a team of about 40 active members (see attached file : map of Concordia Midi Pyrénées members).

💼 What the programme involves

You will reshape Teulat’s old chapel and transform it into a concert and venue bar. The church is no longer a religious building and has already hosted a few venues. To become a proper cultural place, quite a few changes are needed, from re-ensuring the walls to setting up the scenes, sound systems and lights, and finally the bars. You will take part in the first step of the transformation: re-crafting the decaying walls and giving the inside of the church a new look. The work will consist of the renovation of a chapel in the rural village of Teulat (Tarn), it will be the continuation of the work done by the volunteers of a similar workcamp in 2020. The objective will be the renovation of the interior of the chapel to restore its red bricks, especially by rejointing the arches. For this you will learn and practice masonry techniques: setting up a scaffold, preparing mortar, cleaning stones and rejointing. Local life also means developing access to culture: music and scenic arts.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in tents – bring your sleeping bags – and will have access to showers and toilets. The campsite, at the actual concert hall, and is a few yards away from the houses and provides more space for the group. The group will share the cleaning tasks and prepare meals together. You will prepare the meals in shifts and participate in the organization of the collective life (planning, cleaning, shopping, etc.). As much as possible, we will encourage the purchase of local and seasonal products. No WIFI but internet connection possible through mobile data.

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).
