📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

At Les Prureaux, we're committed to sustainable development, and this year we're taking another step towards a greener future. We invite you to take part in a unique project that combines renewable energies: the construction of a solar water heater, a wind turbine to charge electronic devices and an eco-friendly bicycle washer. Come and take action for the environment while experimenting with low-tech projects. Join us in harnessing the power of sun, wind and motion, and let's build a greener future together!

🏠 Accommodation on site

The aim is to design, build and install ecological systems that harness renewable energy sources to improve everyday life in a sustainable way. Activities include preparing the site for the solar system, building the base and installing the panels, creating a wind turbine with generator to charge appliances, and making a functional bicycle washer using human energy. This project is an opportunity to experiment with ecological alternatives.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will be accommodated in various shared sleeping rooms for 4 to 8 people at Château du Créneau. Wi-Fi is not available on site. Food will be provided and prepared in the château kitchen by you and other participants in groups, with the support of the kitchen supervisors.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Aged between 18 and 30. No others requirements.
Deadline: 25/06/2025 18:00

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).
