About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Vir'Volt is an eco-village located atop a sandy hill in the village of La Ferté-Alais. Throughout the year, five to six international volunteers live on-site. With the support of the staff, they organize themed workshops (gender equality, intercultural evenings, ecology) and hands-on activities (building birdhouses, etc.) within the association and with nearby partners. Community life, construction projects to keep making the site more welcoming, and hosting groups for day trips or week-long stays round out daily life. By joining this project, you’ll live in sync with the various international groups hosted during the summer!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in shared yurts (dormitories) furnished with bunk beds. Vir'Volt is located on the site of a former campground: living conditions are basic. The site consists of several yurts (dormitories and an activity room), a permanent building where meals are served, and a basic bathroom facility. During the summer, many international and French groups are hosted here. Meals are prepared collectively and eaten together with volunteers, staff, and other guests. Vir'Volt is a communal, intercultural living space surrounded by nature: come join us!

🎒 Leisure activities

Your tasks will vary depending on the association's activities: helping to cook for the association's community canteen, technical work at the center or in surrounding villages to renovate small heritage sites, gardening and permaculture, organizing events (apple festival, international meals), etc. The collective life is a mission in itself! During the project, you'll have the opportunity to strengthen various skills, such as intercultural communication, group facilitation, manual work (masonry, woodwork...), collective life and organization, facilitation trainings, and more!

⚠️ Requirements

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).
