📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Participate to the protection and enhancement of this breathtaking heritage! Within the castle, you will realize various works of restoration of walls (ramparts, towers) using traditional techniques and help maintain the vegetation (clearing bushes, etc.) as well as many other varied tasks. There are no special skills required for the work, it's just an opportunity to learn.
Beyond this work, you will reflect together on sustainable development using traditional techniques in the restoration of the fortress, but also in the daily life of the group. Protecting this piece of heritage takes time, and a lot of energy. Come contribute to its rebuilding !
Your workcamp will welcome an post-workcamp training week-end. Our campleaders from this summer's workcamps will gather for a post training evaluation along your sides. This is a key moment of our organisation! You will be able to get some help to continue the great work you will have started, share nice evenings and discussions.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is under tents (1 person per tent) at the town stadium lent by the Town Hall. Tents will be provided. You will have to bring other camping material (ground sheet, sleeping bag, etc.). You, volunteer, are actor/actress of your project ! You will manage the tasks of daily life in teams (shopping, cooking, and cleaning). A rotation will be organised by the campleaders to ensure the smooth running of daily life. All together, you will think about how to work, feed everyone, have fun, get around, visit the region in the most environnementaly and human-friendly way.
🎒 Leisure activities
