About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Vir'Volt stands for InteRnational VolunTeer Village (in French). Since 10 years, the organisation is located right in the middle of nature, near a regional park. Hosting youth from all around the world, learning how to understand and appreciate differences. To plan and act together to protect the environment. To create a positive impact on the surrounding environment and people living there or simply passing by. Here lie our goals for this future village, which each year, is built thanks to youths who come and contribute, with solidarity as their driving force. Vir'Volt also aims to become fully eco-friendly and sustainable, which is reflected in our campsite; yurts and teepees as rooms, permaculture farming and gardening, water saving projects, reducing and reusing waste. This small village will become great without sacrificing or damaging the surrounding environment whilst always searching for better and more eco-friendly ways of living.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in shared yurts on the site of the association. One yurt for girls and one yurt for boys. The yurts are insulated and heated, and bunk beds with mattresses are available. Please bring your own sleeping bag. The campsite has separate bathrooms and showers, as well as a kitchen. Food will be provided and cooked by the volunteers in turns.

🎒 Leisure activities

During this workcamp, you will take part in the building ecological furniture and items that will help promote the biodiversity of the site (insect hostels, bird houses…) Together with the team leaders, you will imagine and build up animation and games about nature and environment for the children of the nearby leisure center. Games, debates, quizzes, come to teach younger generations to understand and act on their environment !

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).
