About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We offer you a collective and intercultural adventure in Alsace! Do you want to be part of it? On the programme: a workcamp useful to the rural community, technical training, exchanges with local inhabitants, animation with young people from Alsace, co-prepared meals, the discovery of the Alsatian Vosges... And everything else we will build together! The members of the association "Les Veilleurs de Salm" are hosting an international workcamp for the third time and are looking forward to this rich experience of sharing! The work will involve consolidating the wall of the "western curtain wall" of the castle ruin. The "identical" consolidation of this wall began almost fifteen years ago, in conjunction with the French heritage services (Monuments Historiques, DRAC). There will also be prospecting in another part of the castle. More info at: https://www.chateau-de-salm.org/

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in simple, basic group accommodation. Access to kitchen, toilets, washbasins, and showers. Remember to bring your sleeping bags. Wifi will not be available. Food is provided and included in the budget. We will take it in turns to prepare meals. We will favour local and/or organic purchases. We will limit our meat consumption to three times a week.

🎒 Leisure activities

The work will consist of maintenance work: it aims here to preserve the existing without adding facings or heightening. It will involve: • removing and replacing one to three layers of facing, on both the internal and external faces; • extraction of any roots in the facings; • removal of the level, extraction of old blockages over 20cm, purging of old mortar; • creation of a solid “ruin-like” rockwork binding the two faces of the facing; • prospecting of the outer lining to uncover archaeological material.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Aged between 18 and 30. No others requirements.
Deadline: 25/07/2025 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).
