📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This project is part of the European Solidarity Corps. Concordia is coordinating a network of partners in Grenoble to plan different interventions throughout the project. You will thus have the opportunity to work with the services of the city of Grenoble, which coordinates the actions carried out by the citizens. Other structures, whether public or associative, will also be mobilised alongside us.
💼 What the programme involves
*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION ***
*** French version at the end of the description ***
Grenoble, capital of the French Alps, is a dynamic, ecological and supportive city. Come and discover the variety of Grenoble's associations and get involved in solidarity actions with them.
Supported by the city of Grenoble, citizens' initiatives are regularly organized by inhabitants in order to forge social, intergenerational and intercultural links. These projects are an opportunity to embellish the city, to create events for different audiences, to organize festive events... Come and join the collective of committed citizens and participate in various projects of general interest that will allow you to discover the solidarity network of Grenoble.
This workcamp does not require any specific skills. If you are sensitive to social action and you like to work as a team in a project with several partners, this workcamp is for you.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in apartments that will be furnished (2-3 persons per room) for the occasion. Don't forget to bring a sleeping bag. You will have access to the toilets and showers inside each apartment as well as a common room. You will be able to use the kitchens for the preparation of meals. You will take part in the preparation of the meals, from products that will be bought locally. We will favor the use of local products. Tastings of local products are also possible with local producers.
📍 About the location
Grenoble is the largest alpine city. It is also the third most populated commune in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region (680,000 inhabitants in Grenoble agglomeration). It is surrounded by mountains very close to various massifs (Vercors, Chartreuse, Belledonne...) and benefits from proximity to many other agglomerations (Lyon, Valence, Chambery...). The town has many tourist attractions that you will enjoy visiting as well as a variety of cultural and leisure facilities. During the month of July, the cultural program is rich with the summer festivals "Cabaret Frappe" and "Un ete Oh! Parc".
Just a few kilometres from the town centre, you can easily reach natural areas by train or bus, which will contrast with the urban constructions.
ℹ️ Additional information
Grenoble is a city that promotes green mobility. The network of bicycle paths is very developed and its topography allows easy use of the bicycle for urban travel. Numerous bike routes will be proposed to you for your daily trips and excursions, it is therefore necessary to know how to ride a bike to participate in this project.
Remember to bring working gloves, clothes and shoes. Take also clothes adapted in case of rain (fleece, raincoat...) for your excursions. We provide inflatable mattresses for the permanent accommodation: think about your sleeping bag and possibly an extra camping mat for your comfort. Don't forget sun protection (hat, glasses, cream...) and your swimsuit for swimming (swimming pools, water sports bases...). Convivial times will be programmed in connection with our camp leaders and according to your wishes. If you wish to share a bit of your culture (recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects...), don't hesitate to take a little piece of your country in your backpack!
