About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

At the gateway to the Provençal Baronnies, the site of Arzeliers stands on a small mountain with a beautiful view over the Durance valley. This ancient, ruined village is the cradle of the commune of Laragne: the remains of a chapel and the ruins of several houses can still be found there. For several years, the commune of Laragne has been working to bring the remains of the Arzeliers castle to life, maintain and develop them. Since 2013, international youth volunteer workcamps have been organised for this purpose. This year, we will be able to discover the cycle of this local material. You will help to make a "peasant plaster" mortar and to restore the walls of a building in order to consolidate them and prevent them from deteriorating further. A specialised technical supervisor will be at your side to give you advice and techniques. You will work approximately 30 hours per week.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in individual tents that we will provide you at the municipal campsite of Laragne-Montéglin. A mobile home will be at your disposal to cook and to have access to sanitary facilities. You will take turns to cook, so that we can taste several specialities! Here, we pay attention to what we eat, to reduce our environmental impact, we try to eat a maximum of local products and we eat meat twice a week. The daily life is organized together: organisation of menus, shopping, activities, etc. Bring a good sleeping bag (the nights can be very cold in September) and a pillow.

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).
