About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Would you like to take part in the restoration of the famous theatre of the Templar Commandery in Vaour? This vibrant place dates back to the 12th century and houses, within its impressive stone building, a cultural space where all kinds of companies have been performing for years. This remarkable theatre has become a place where words resonate and where lovers of the arts come together. Then head to the Tarn for this autumn project, which will allow you to take part in a rewarding and enriching collective adventure, while discovering a different environment. You will thus be part of an intercultural civic project aimed at having a positive impact on the local area and creating connections within your group and with local people. Finally, this workcamp will be a great opportunity to meet young people from all over Europe and the world, exchange about your cultures and share convivial moments together.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in the municipal village hall in Vaour. The hall will be arranged for this purpose. You should expect to sleep on mattresses placed on the floor, in non-mixed sleeping areas separated by partitions. We will do our best to make the space comfortable, but it will be more like indoor camping. You will take turns being responsible for the kitchen. You will use the kitchen in the village hall where you will be staying to prepare balanced and seasonal meals. It is important to know that you will not eat meat every day; we plan for two meat-based meals per week.

🎒 Leisure activities

In small groups and guided by skilled professionals, you will set out to tackle this theatre.You will work on restoring the structure and its upper section, as well as its façades, by consolidating them and removing the invasive plants whose presence is currently weakening the structure. You will be guided through the other stages of consolidating the identified sections. You may also be involved in some light masonry and lime repointing. You will probably also be involved, depending on the mornings, in other small renovation, restoration and maintenance projects.

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).
