About the project

ESC: SJ/ESC81 – Cultivating living things . Planting trees

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

L'île au vent is an association with the aim of promoting agro-ecology and permaculture as part of a popular education approach. Protecting life is a key priority, and this work camp will respond to your fundamental desire to be active and committed, and develop your ability to think in a cooperative and creative way. The rhythm of the seasons beats the rhythm of our actions. At the start of autumn, like every year, the Ile au Vent farm is entering its agroforestry development phase. During this workcamp you will learn how to create a garden forest as well as how to plant trees and propagate plants by division and cuttings. You will discover the major role of trees in our ecosystems and the symbioses that link them with other organisms. Depending on the weather conditions, we'll be continuing to plant the garden forest and fodder hedges, or developing the Cab'Ânes with the installation of a space for the hens. We'll also be able to carry out the first composting trials.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in a bright and pleasant house in Ploeven. You will sleep in rooms for 3 or 4 people. Kitchen, toilets, washbasins and showers on site. Remember to bring your sleeping bags and single sheets. Pillows will be provided. Food is provided and included in the holiday budget. We will take it in turns to prepare meals. We will give preference to local and/or organic produce. We will limit our meat consumption to twice a week. We'll be happy to share our recipes and our creative culinary talents.

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).
