About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Do you want to immerse yourself in a more ecological way of life? This project is for you! You will discover a way of life that is totally respectful of the environment, and you will learn good practices to reproduce and pass on to your family! This summer, the eco-camp needs your help! Thanks to Romain, a local resident and technical coordinator, you will be able to explore the issue of water in all its forms. A major environmental issue, this will be an opportunity, on the scale of an eco-hamlet, to question our use of water and to implement concrete examples: management of waste water by plants, recovery of rainwater to water the vegetable garden and orchards, making a pond to encourage biodiversity, making ecological soaps to avoid polluting water, using dry toilets, etc. In short... a variety of workshops to reflect and act collectively on this precious resource!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accomodated in tent (1 person per tent), in the eco-camping of the association. The tents will be provided. You will have to bring your camping equipment (ground sheet, sleeping bag, etc.). The campsite includes sanitary facilities (showers with solar-heated water, compositing toilet) and a summer kitchen with a breathtaking view over the valley. /!\ The treatment of waste water is done by phyto-treatment, chemical hygienic products cannot be used on site. Think of bringing natural and ecological products. All together, you will think about how to work, feed everyone, have fun, ..

🎒 Leisure activities

Workshops will be proposed on the themes of sustainable development, solidarity and democratic participation during the project.

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).
