For Concordia, this will be the first participation in a workcamp in this area, but the village has already hosted volunteering workcamps with other non-profit organizations in the past and is used to hosting this kind of event. Locals are delighted to see people from all over the world come to restore their heritage.
💼 What the programme involves
Come and discover a village in South Finistere!
For the first time with Concordia, the municipality of Tourc\'h welcomes you for the restoration and development of the space in town. This is an opportunity to discover it as well as its inhabitants ready to meet you and discuss with you.
Tourc\'h has already hosted volunteering workcamps in the past and is therefore ready to renew this experience with you, to the delight of all! You will work around the rehabilitation of a small wall, typical of the region, the establishment of an opening and the development of a small stone canal to lead a stream to unclog a plot of land. This is to allow the creation of a pleasant space for the inhabitants of the village.

ℹ️ Additional information
You will have to bring warm clothes (trousers, sweater, socks, closed shoes, rain clothes) and light ones (skirts or shorts, t-shirts, open shoes) because the weather can change very suddenly in Brittany. You can literally experience all four seasons in one day! Please also take with you working clothes, gloves and shoes in addition to your swimsuit. Bring a sleeping bag for cold weather and an insulated camping mat as nights are sometimes fresh and wet.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
