💼 What the programme involves
La Maison des Bateleurs animated by the daily presence of volunteers, aims to be a place which fosters openness, cultural and social diversity. You will actively participate in the life of the house and in different activities: collective life (cooking, cleaning...), cultural exchanges (meetings with local people, hosting groups...), workcamps (site maintenance, rehabilitation of green spaces, stone cutting...) From the vegetable garden to the energizers games, through pizza nights, the association is still concerned about the individuals' personal development and voluntary participation of all. The association regularly hosts groups of children, teenagers and young adults on short breaks to allow them to discover our values in order to increase the importance of doing and living together.
You will host groups, accompany them on building sites and propose animation activities. You will also participate in the preparation of the anniversary of the association, organization of activities for children, and the Festival of contemporary music, the “Free Music” Montendre.
