About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Are you a nature and biodiversity lover? This workcamp is made for you! This workcamp is the result of a partnership between the association Concordia and the association Echologia, located in Louverné. Echologia is a real oasis of nature and promotes strong ecological values. With more than 70 hectares of land, it has an exceptional eco-tourist site at the gates of Laval, the capital of the Mayenne region (in western France). For this first year of partnership, you will be based at the foot of an old lime kiln. You will continue the construction of a part of the low walls: staking of the mortar, repointing with lime mortar (masonry technique of old building). These walls will become a filtering waterfall for aquaponics. In a few words, aquaponics is the fusion of 2 techniques, aquaculture and hydroponics, which allows plants and aquatic animals to live together in perfect harmony in a closed system. This system works like a virtuous circle, ecological and healthy.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Everyone to the adventure! You will sleep in tents for 2 or 3 people (bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat), and will be directly connected with nature. The kitchen and the living space will be set up in a room near the camp. The sanitary facilities: dry toilets and showers in a room near the camp. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare the meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals, by privileging healthy and local products, and to exchange your recipes if you wish.

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).
