About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join Wood Stock ‘26, a creative and hands-on workcamp dedicated to woodcraft and reuse, set in the unique surroundings of our castle. This project invites you to work with your hands, share your skills and give new life to wood through renovation and upcycling. From restoring traditional wooden window shutters to making furniture from reclaimed pallets, you’ll help to preserve the character of the castle while embracing sustainable practices. A project rooted in craftsmanship, creativity and collective energy!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in shared rooms sleeping 4–8 people at Château du Créneau. Wi-Fi is not available on site. You and the other participants will prepare food in groups in the château kitchen, with the support of the kitchen supervisors. Meals are mostly vegetarian, with meat and/or fish served twice a week.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will mainly work with wood, focusing on renovating the castle’s wooden window shutters by repairing damaged elements, fixing hinges, sanding and treating surfaces, and crafting new shutters when needed. In parallel, the group will design and build simple, functional furniture using recycled pallets. Tasks will include dismantling and preparing wood, measuring, cutting, assembling, and finishing. This project combines manual skills, teamwork and creativity, offering a practical introduction to traditional and sustainable woodworking techniques.

⚠️ Requirements

Deadline: 17/07/2026 00:00

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).
