About the project

ESC: SJ/ESC15 - LET’S RENOVATE PUECH MIGNON

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Once upon a time, in the year 972, the Church of Our Lady of Puech Mignon was built! Listed as a French Historical Monument, it has gone through many challenges during its long life: destruction, a reconstruction dating back to the Middle Ages, and another fire in the 19th century. Since then, volunteers from the association "Le Temps de Puech Mignon" have been taking care of its restoration and regular maintenance. However, there is still a lot to be done: while the church itself has now been restored, the surrounding areas urgently need intervention to ensure their preservation. So, take part in this international workcamp with Citrus, where you will also discover its values and ways of working as a popular education association promoting togetherness, sharing, and diversity. Accompanied by our staff team, you will live in the heart of the village of Laguépie (of which Puech Mignon is a part) and share everyday life with our international volunteers present on site.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay on the Citrus site in shared tents (8–12 people) with beds and wooden floors. Dry toilets, solar showers, and a washing machine are available. There is no Wi-Fi. Participants take part daily in site maintenance and shared cooking, with balanced meals prepared collectively using local, seasonal products.

🎒 Leisure activities

Guided by the Citrus staff team and the volunteers from the association "Le Temps de Puech Mignon", you will carry out several concrete and varied tasks: • Rebuilding an old dry-stone wall in the presbytery garden • Laying stone paving in front of the former presbytery kitchen to improve and secure access • Restoring and safeguarding a small tower attached to the site • Clearing and cleaning the surrounding areas

⚠️ 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).
