About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project will take place at the permanent REV site, a former summer camp situated at an altitude of 1,200 meters. The building is located at the foot of Mount Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes National Park. The REV association moved there in the spring of 2022 and aims to turn it into a place to welcome visitors, exchange ideas, and meet new people. To continue improving the garden started in 2025, you will build a wooden greenhouse dome for year-round cultivation. This will contribute to transforming the site into a nourishing and supportive space where international volunteers, project volunteers, visitors, and residents can meet.

🏠 Accommodation on site

: The workcamp is in a very remote area, where you will be accommodated in collective tents on the REV site (remember to bring a warm sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. If weather conditions deteriorate, a shelter a few meters away will be available. On the project, it is important to note that you will have two meat meals per week. Meals will be provided by the association and prepared by the participants, who will take turns forming cooking teams. Bring your best recipes!

🎒 Leisure activities

You will be involved in constructing a wooden geodesic dome that will serve as a greenhouse for the community garden run by the association. This dome’s shape offers several advantages: it uses less material than a rectangular structure to cover the same area, it is wind-resistant (common at high altitudes), it captures light from all angles, and it prevents snow from accumulating on the roof. A technical supervisor will share their knowledge of wooden construction and guide you through building this structure during dedicated work sessions (25 hours per week).

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).
