📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is a French association dedicated to promoting environmental conservation and sustainable living practices. They organize various initiatives and campaigns aimed at raising awareness about environmental issues and encouraging individuals and communities to adopt eco-friendly behaviors. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, our partner strives to protect natural resources, reduce pollution, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. They collaborate with other organizations, government agencies, and stakeholders to implement projects and programs that contribute to building a more sustainable future for all.

💼 What the programme involves

Is the protection of the environment and wildlife a subject close to your heart? Come and discover the association LOANA which fights for the conservation of the biodiversity in Lorraine! For two weeks, the nature animators and naturalists invite you to participate in the maintenance of important natural sites, and the development of spaces for the protection of essential species in the region : birds, amphibians or plants in particular. Come and share warm and festive moments with volunteers from all countries, and discover a beautiful green setting ! The LOANA association aims to study the fauna and flora of our region, enhance and manage our ecosystems while raising public awareness of the preservation of this environment. To do this, it combines with passion and skills the implementation of concrete actions on the ground. On this project, you will be brought to intervene on the natural sites managed all year round by LOANA. It is therefore a sort of itinerant workcamp !

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in tents in Favières leisure center, where washrooms are available. Do not forget your sleeping bag and your mattress. In respect of the environment, all meals are cooked with seasonal, local and organic products. All aspects of the collective life (shopping, meal preparation, cleaning) will be managed by the volunteers themselves, on the basis of an operation that they will have decided in a common way (ex: use of planning, constitution of pairs,...). They will be helped in this task by a collective life animator.

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).
