📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Lying on the edge of a forest, the site of la Madone attracts many hikers drawing their curiosity. Based on community developmental work, this project intends to facilitate an exchange between the local community and international volunteers. In response to the UN goal of
“Sustainable cities and communities”, the work camp will be focused on creating common intercultural space and exchange with the local community, exploring new ways of thinking, and acting, sharing experiences, alternative living, and taking part in collective life. A dozen stone constructions surround a tall statue, of about 10m. To bring new life to the place you will renovate walls and structures, around 6 hours a day. You will learn techniques of traditional masonry (wall-building) with mortar. You will evolve as a team with the help of a technical supervisor, sharing all tasks associated with collective life such as cooking, cleaning, after work activities etc.
