🏢 About the local organisation
Le projet associatif d'études ET chantiers trouve son fondement dans deux convictions :
• notre société ne sera vivante que lorsque ceux qui la composent seront actifs et responsables.
• les ressources nécessaires à cette évolution se trouvent au sein de chacune et de chacun.
Nous voulons rendre possible - par une pédagogie active - la participation effective et concrète de tous à la transformation des espaces de vie.
L'association études ET chantiers Engagement Civique a pour objet la promotion d'un travail différent pour un développement solidaire.
Elle entend développer toute forme de participation des jeunes et des adultes (éloignés ou non de l'emploi) à l'aménagement, l'équipement, l'animation, la sauvegarde et la gestion des espaces de vie. Elle favorise la mobilité européenne et internationale de tous les jeunes, y compris avec moins d'opportunités, sur des expériences d'engagement solidaire. Chaque année, notre mouvement national envoie et accueille des centaines de jeunes et moins jeunes sur des chantiers internationaux de bénévoles et des projets de mobilité à court, moyen et long terme.
Nous sommes membres du réseau Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations, actifs dans le groupe de travail ""Access for All" (Mobilité pour Tous) encourageant la participation active et la mobilité des jeunes avec moins d'opportunités.
Chez Etudes et Chantiers Engagement Civique nous avons développé un secteur Formation et un secteur Service Civique depuis 2015.
Plusieurs chantiers 2020 seront certainement renouvelés avec les mêmes bailleurs d'ouvrage en 2021:
- Patrimoine classé ou inscrit aux Monuments Historiques en lien avec la DRAC: Pompey (entretien de différentes parties du chateau) et Nomeny (entretien de différentes parties du chateau et de l'église)
- Patrimoine-Environnement: Saint-Mihiel (réhabilitation de murets en pierre sèche) et Joeuf (aménagements publics le long de l'Orne), L'Atelier Vert à Rosières-aux-Salines (éducation à l'environnement)
D'autres projets se trouvent à des stades variés de discussion et de montage tels qu'avec le collectif Mets le Son autour du festival "La Palette" à Maron fin juin, patrimoine et environnement à Champigneulles, Vaudémont ou Dieulouard, construction d'habitat autonome à Vittel avec l'association Vit Tel Ta Nature, etc.
Nous avons un projet en cours de montage avec la Cité des paysages de conception participative de mobilier rural par les usagers divers de la Colline de Sion.
The associative project of studies AND building sites finds its foundation in two convictions:
- our society will only be alive when those who compose it are active and responsible.
- The resources necessary for this evolution are to be found within each and every one of them.
We want to make possible - through an active pedagogy - the effective and concrete participation of all in the transformation of living spaces.
The association Etudes ET chantiers Engagement Civique aims to promote a different kind of work for solidarity development.
It intends to develop all forms of participation of young people and adults (whether or not far from employment) in the development, equipment, animation, protection and management of living spaces. It promotes the European and international mobility of all young people, including those with fewer opportunities, on experiences of solidarity commitment. Every year, our national movement sends and welcomes hundreds of young and less young people on international volunteer workcamps and short-, medium- and long-term mobility projects.
We are members of the network Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations, active in the working group ""Access for All"" (Mobility for All) encouraging the active participation and mobility of young people with fewer opportunities.
At Etudes et Chantiers Engagement Civique we have developed a Training sector and a Civic Service sector since 2015.
Several 2020 projects will certainly be renewed with the same sponsors in 2021:
- Heritage listed or registered as Historic Monuments in connection with the DRAC: Pompey (maintenance of different parts of the castle) and Nomeny (maintenance of different parts of the castle and the church).
- Patrimoine-Environment: Saint-Mihiel (rehabilitation of dry stone walls) and Joeuf (public facilities along the Orne River), L'Atelier Vert in Rosières-aux-Salines (environmental education)
Other projects are at various stages of discussion and editing, such as with the Mets le Son collective around the "La Palette" festival in Maron at the end of June, heritage and environment in Champigneulles, Vaudémont or Dieulouard, construction of autonomous housing in Vittel with the association Vit Tel Ta Nature, etc.
We have a project in progress with the Cité des Paysages for the participatory design of rural furniture by various users of the Colline de Sion.
💼 What the programme involves
The city of Nomeny needs you to help it protect and enhance its historical and cultural heritage! For four years now, the inhabitants of Nomeny have been welcoming volunteers every summer: The first year the volunteers worked on the devegetation and the repair of the walls of the ruins of the castle of Nomeny so that this place becomes a real space of life and local meetings. In 2020 and 2021, volunteers worked on the maintenance of the doors and windows of the Church of Saint-Etienne de Nomeny, classified as a Historic Monument! This year, back to masonry, and back to the castle : The objective is to restore a stone wall masonry with lime, several parts of which have collapsed.
You will be a team of 12 volunteers. You will live together for two weeks. Accompanied by a technical supervisor and a pegogic supervisor, you will work during the day to restore the wall. Evenings and weekends will be devoted to moments of rest, discovery of the region, leisure and entertainment.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents. Don't forget your sleeping bags and mattresses. Toilets and showers will be available nearby, and a kitchen will be installed in the camp. There is a possibility of wifi access at the town hall.
All aspects of collective life (shopping, preparing meals, cleaning) will be managed by the volunteers themselves, on the basis of an operation that they will have decided on together. They will be helped in this task by a community life facilitator. The goal: for each volunteer to be an actor in their stay with respect for others and community life.
🎒 Leisure activities
Accompanied by a professional heritage mason, this worksite will be an opportunity for you to discover (or deepen) traditional masonry techniques. Concretely, here are the missions that await you:
- devegetate the wall
- dismantle a fragile part of this low wall, to reassemble it;
- sort the stones and learn to choose them to raise the low wall to its original height;
- start to reassemble the wall using a lime mortar
In addition, this workcamp can allow you to improve your level of English and/or French, to learn how to manage community life and to live an intercultural experience.
⚠️ Requirements
