About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Take part in the construction of wildlife habitats and in the installation of street furniture in Saint-Jean-de-Braye, a beautiful town in the Loire valley, not so far from the city of Orleans. This workcamp is part of a project to extend the “Longues Allees” park, a green sanctuary on the riverside of the Loire, where a space will be preserved for biodiversity. In time, strollers will be able to walk among old fruit trees and vines, or to observe the pollination of bees around an apiary. The grass will be maintained in an ecological way thanks to a flock of sheep, which will live in the park throughout the year. Your first mission will be to build a shelter for these animals. Then, you will have to make some wicker huts and install wooden furniture on the banks of the Loire, for the great pleasure of families and groups of friends.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in a building where two large rooms : one for boys, one for girls. You need to bring your own sleeping bag. Sanitary facilities will be available nearby, with showers and toilets. A fully equipped kitchen and a dining room will be available too. In collaboration with the camp leaders, you will participate in the shopping and preparation of meals. Following an eco-friendly approach, you will be invited to use local products. Feel free to come with your own recipes ! A washing machine or a laundromat will be available (it recommended to bring 2 weeks of clothes).

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).
