About the project

ESC: SJ/ESC75 - Building an international and green village in winter time

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Vir'Volt stands for InteRnational VolunTeer Village (in French). Since 10 years, the organisation has 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 the living there or simply passing by. These are 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’ll be staying in a construction village in shared tents (like yurts, tepees) throughout the winter. Don’t forget to bring a suitable sleeping bag and warm clothing, as it will be cold and the nights can be chilly.The campsite has separate bathrooms and showers, as well as a kitchen area. Food will be provided and cooked by the volunteers in turns.

🎒 Leisure activities

During this Workcamp, you will be working on various projects at the association's site alongside international and local volunteers. You'll help develop the eco-village by building wooden furniture (pallets and simple woodworking), creating compost bins for outdoor spaces, and setting up the solar shower on site. This winter project will be a challenge since it takes place outdoors in unheated areas and under winter conditions (cold and windy). However, you’ll feel great knowing you’re actively contributing to the construction of a unique eco-village and leaving your mark!

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).
