About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Ready to be part of a collaborative adventure? Join us in preparing Les Nuits Guépiennes, a vibrant festival that brings together 2000 people every year along the Viaur River. Get involved behind the scenes and work alongside the dedicated volunteer team of “P’Tite Lumière et Cie” to help build and shape this exciting event. Your energy and enthusiasm will make all the difference! You will be involved in constructing structural elements like a movable bar, a wooden arch, and signage essential for the smooth running of this wonderful event. You will also discover the values of the CITRUS association, its operating methods as an international welcoming place that promotes living together, sharing, and diversity. It’s a real little haven of peace. Guided by our supervising team, you’ll experience life in the heart of the association, sharing daily life with the Citrus team, international volunteers, and local volunteers from the Guépienne association.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated at the CITRUS association's site in shared tents (8-12 people) with floors and beds. There are beautiful composting toilets and solar showers, all built by former workcamps participants. A washing machine is available for reasonable and regulated use. There is no Wi-Fi connection. You will participate daily in maintaining the site and preparing meals. Collective decisions will ensure a balanced diet based on your tastes, dietary requirements, and seasonal local products. Cooking is part of the project, just like the construction activities.

🎒 Leisure activities

As part of this project, you will participate in morning work sessions to build a wooden movable bar several meters long. With Rémi, a local carpenter-joiner, who will be your technical supervisor for these two weeks, you’ll learn woodworking and gradually create this key piece, which is essential for the festival. You’ll also work on building a welcoming wooden arch, which will help greet visitors and festival goers who come every summer to participate in the iconic Les Nuits Guépiennes festival in Laguépie.

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).
