About the project

ESC: SJ/ESC82-Building an international and green village 2

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In this project, you will contribute to the evolution of a unique and original place, take an active part in the construction of new places of solidarity and ecological initiatives, and commit yourself to a society that is more respectful of people and nature.You'll experience two weeks of total immersion, in an ecological village under construction, in the heart of the Forest! During this Workcamp, you will be working on various projects at the association's site alongside local 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 You'll also take part in the installation of the site's solar shower, and in the development of the permaculture garden for the winter. This project is a winter challenge! Most of the manual activities will take place outdoors in unheated areas and in winter conditions (cold and windy).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in a village under construction, in two yurts (one for boys and one for girls). The yurts are insulated and heated. Showers and toilets are located in the association's sanitary block. The sanitary block is the next renovation project for the village and is in a very basic state. While it is possible to heat it, the toilet block is not well insulated and can get cold, especially during shower time! Don’t forget to bring a sleeping bag and warm clothing, as it will be cold and the nights can be chilly. Food is provided, and meals are prepared in turns by the volunteers.

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).
