ESC: Volunteering team for environment preservation

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

GRIMM association is working on the protection of the local life framework and promoting models of sustainable development. Their members have a full load of ideas but are short of hands to realize them. Thus, they came to the idea of involving volunteers from all over the world. Since then, the municipality makes its buildings available every summer and welcomes foreign youngsters. GRIMM members organize the work. With the help from the volunteers, they are eventually able to realize the projects they dreamt about. Their actions are based on the following philosophy: Nature belongs to everyone. And if each of us may enjoy it, it has to be protected. They organize workcamps for more than 15 years!!! Their website: www.legrimm.be

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation can be compared to a boarding school (Saint François complex): a corridor with double bedrooms; toilets and showers are at the same floor. No smoking inside. Food will be self-catering. Bring your recipes to enjoy ‘kitchen life’!

🎒 Leisure activities

Assisted by local technical leaders, the volunteer group will realize a wood footbridge that will be use by walker to cross a stream in the Biran nature reserve. If you work fast different manual tasks outside and take care of other places built during previous workcamps – a barbecue area, benches, shelter, can be planned. If you like working with wood this is your workcamp
