About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Citrus organises workcamps in the Southwest of France since 2002. Every year, dozens of volunteers are coming from the whole world and committing themselves to join this collective experience through technical work to the benefit of the local community.

💼 What the programme involves

Guided by villagers and local workers, you will take part to the valorisation of typical wash houses: taking out the weeds, small masonry work, signs, and so on. Some other tasks could be added to the work, depending on the weather (cleaning out a cave, ...)

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be in tents of two to three persons, with mattresses provided by the organisation, near a former hosting centre. Toilets and showers in solid construction are nearby. Menus and shopping will be organized collectively, by you and the rest of the group. Each day, you will be in small teams to cook for all the participants. Particular attention will be paid to seasonal foods from local producers.

📍 About the location

Penne, 40min away from Montauban. Leisure activities: In the afternoons and evenings, leave your creativity talk! Those times will be organized all together with the group. You will be able to enjoy swimming in the river nearby, to visit medieval villages, or to go for a ride in kayak! With the help of the campleaders, you\'ll organize events to connect with the local community, such as international dinners.
