📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Would you like to discover a project of living and working together with young people from all over the world? Come and do a variety of work, ranging from masonry to a bit of woodwork and gardening: There’s lots to do to improve the permaculture garden! Le Créneau, an organization for non-formal education awaits you on its castle grounds at the Château des Prureaux, here in the middle of the French countryside! You will share the work and daily life with people that came from all over the world and from various social backgrounds to offer their time and energy, be it for a week, a month or a year - because together we can go further!

💼 What the programme involves

A diversity of insects and a source of water are essential components of the ecosystem of a working vegetable garden. You will work together on the renovation of the walls of our main water basin and do some maintenance gardening work. Additionally, working with local materials such as wood, you will do some landscaping work and build elements that add to the garden’s pedagogical aspect.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in tents and use the exterior bathroom and dry toilets. Food is provided and you will take turns in preparing the meals in the fully equipped kitchen.

📍 About the location
