About the project

ESC: URGENT - (DE)Construction volunteering teams project in France

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are in constant transformation. And sometimes we need to destroy old structures to build new and better bases for the future. And this project is about that ;) Our farm is moving to new and more autonome place, so we are looking for motivated youngsters who want to learn how to build with recovered wood and other waste, how to prepare and set the new bases of an eco-place, how to restore the soil, compost, animal care... and of course, how to destroy buildings to build them in the new place. Everything with the intercutural and community learning, by living with 20 volunteers from different countries. And of course, living in a resilient way, following our sustainable and green daily practices. It will be the chance to reflect about our impact, our choices and how we can be agents of change in our society, how to be respectful with the environment and the other living beings. Infopack in the next section.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in shared rooms in mobile homes/chalets or in big tents, at our campsite in Lastours, surrounded by nature. Volunteers will follow a menu (mainly vegetarian) and they will cook in teams, 1 day per week. Volunteers will take turns to keep ALL THE COMMON SPACES clean and tidy.

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).
