About the project

ESC: SJ/ESC80-The pond at Montendre garden

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Every year, by hosting volunteers and international workcamps, this commune of 3,000 habitants works to restore its heritage and promote intercultural exchanges. Montendre is home to one of Solidarités Jeunesses' international centers: the Maison des Bateleurs. The aim of this project is to build an ecological pond on the permaculture garden of the Maison des Bateleurs. Guided by our technical staff and with the help of the house volunteers team, you will learn not only how to build the pond, but also how the different animal and vegetal species interact inside the freshwater environment and their connection with the permaculture garden. The pond work will take place in the mornings, whilst the afternoons will be dedicated to different activities around the Montendre area and to visit some of the locations of environmental or cultural interest in nearby zone.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in a dormitory in the big International Maison des Bateleurs, where you will share daily life with international volunteers welcomed under the ESC (European Solidarity Corps). Located a few hundred meters from the festival in Montendre, the house provides all necessary amenities: showers, kitchen, garden, bamboo grove, etc. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you have a food budget that the leaders will manage and communicate with you throughout the workcamp). Meals are prepared by you, in turn, by forming cooking teams. Take your best recipes with you!

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
