About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Hameau de Vaunières is an old village whose oldest buildings datefrom the 17th century. Converted into collective lodgings, workshops orparty rooms, they now host a large part of the activity of the Youth Villages. The organisation was born in 1964, from the dual desire to promote social, cultural and generational decompartmentalization between people from diverse backgrounds and to revive abandoned sites in rural areas. . Its particularity is to be established on two sites located in the Hautes-Alpes: the Hameau de Vaunières. The missions of the volunteers are diverse and vary according to the season. Throughout the duration of their volunteering, volunteers will be involved in welcoming groups, in ongoing projects. They can choose the place they want to hold. This can be dicussed and decided together with the permanent team. Missions specific during the summer can be : gardening, animation of the technical workshops with the groups, logistic support to host the groups

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers are housed at Les 3 Roues and the Auberge, and generally separate from their room with one or two volunteers. Collective spaces and the tasks that require them are therefore shared by all the inhabitants. Weekends, there are no work sites offered and are rest days. However, living within a collective, you will share your weekends with all the volunteers, young people present in the Hamlet. When there is group reception, you may be required to work evenings to help in the kitchen or to work on weekends. If you enjoy nature and collective life, come and join us !

🎒 Leisure activities

The mission is 35 hours per week, and activities may vary depending on the association's events: manual labor, gardening, activities with local recreation centers or schools. You will be able to participate in training courses such as “leading an international work camp", "non violent communication", etc.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Participant should be available for two months, be motivated to live in a collective setting with several groups hosted during the project. No competences are needed, only your motivation to join the project and to help to organise the collective life ! Due to the very isolated situation of the volunteering, the driving license is a big plus : it will allow you to be more autonomous during your project !

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).
