💼 What the programme involves

Do you like nature ? Do you like to craft ? Come and help the town of Jarville-la-Malgrange to develop a family park in the heart of the city ! Located at the meeting point of several activity hubs (city center, schools, education centers, museums), the Renémont Wood is a real green lung for the city. Soon, a primary school group will be built on its outskirts, and an entrance will be made by this park. Unfortunately, this beautiful space is very little equipped for the promenade, communal events or leisure... This is why the municipality decided to conduct a vast study to rehabilitate it, redesign it and make it the new place of life and meeting of the whole population. For this, they need your help, because there is work to do : landscaping of natural areas (vegetation, various plantations, creation of paths for walkers, installation of walking and leisure furniture, but also active participation in meetings and festivities organized with the inhabitants of Jarville !

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a solid building, with access to sanitary facilities (showers and WCs) and a kitchen, as well as outdoor spaces. Volunteers need to bring a mattress and a sleeping bag. All aspects of collective life (shopping, preparing meals, cleaning) will be managed by the volunteers themselves, on the basis of an operation that they will have decided on together (e.g. use planning, formation of pairs, etc.). They will be helped in this task by a community life facilitator. The goal : for each volunteer to be an actor in their stay with respect for others and community life.

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).
