About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Concordia has been in partnership for several years with the UFCV (French Union of Holiday Center) association. The UFCV manages a leisure and holiday centre at the Frayse Domain: the former vineyard has a magnificent 24 hectare park with various sports areas, an educational farm and a vegetable garden gathering people from all ages. For several years now, the Frayse Domain has been hosting one of the most singular youth festival in New Aquitaine: The Frayse'Toch #educpop is an eco-citizen and solidarity festival, on which Concordia volunteers will once again fully be a part of the festival's preparation, animation and closing team.

💼 What the programme involves

Take part in the new edition of the famous Frays'Toch festival, a popular education event! As every year, the Frayse Domain organises a festival which highlights all types of art, from local music to international music, from theatre to pyrotechnics! The workcamp will consist in preparing, animating and closing the new edition of this summer event which is a must for young and old people! Your tasks will be varied: you will be part of the communication team before the start of the festival, help with the setting up and dismantling of the festival\'s structure, the decorating of the festival areas, but also organise workshops on different topics such as interculturality or art.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in individual tents and a shared room will be available for cooking and group activities. You will have access to toilets and shower near the campsite. Wifi is available on site, and your laundry is washed by hand. The park will provide you with outdoor spaces to enjoy your free time in the sun. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities in and around the domain in nature. For more info visit: http://www.domaine-de-la-frayse.fr/.
