📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The mayor of Lyoffans, who lived a memorable experience when he was a teenager, now wants to launch a volunteer work camp in his community. This international project will be the first in a series of initiatives planned for the coming years. It is in line with the ‘sustainable towns and communities’ objectives set by the UN. Getting involved in an area, exploring different ways of thinking and acting, sharing skills and experiencing convivial moments: these are all opportunities to promote solidarity. Each project is designed to be unique, so come and experience yours!

🏠 Accommodation on site

The community will offer an ancient community house, which will be refurbished to do the international workcamp. You will have a kitchen, a space for the, meals and a shared room to sleep. Mattresses will be provided by the local people, but you will need to bring your own duvet and pillow. A shower is available on site, but we also encourage you to take advantage of the showers in the homes of local people: every opportunity is a good one to encourage exchanges! It's a three-minute walk to the site. For your other travel needs, the villagers will be delighted to accompany you on shopping trip

To do this, it supports on international volunteers with the goal of combine the restoration of the heritage with the creation of social links between local residents and international participants.
