📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The youth workcamp of « La Tourlandry » is the fruit of the collaboration between the town hall of Tourlandry, the Chemillois social center and the organisation Concordia. The inhabitants have a collective project to enhance the village centre in La Tourlandry. In this frame, they would like to restore a public space called “Le Paddock”.
This old church is now a meeting place for the inhabitants. The town hall wishes to stimulate this space by installing a collective memorial place.
This project will welcome 6 international young people and 9 locals.
💼 What the programme involves
In the paddock, the international workcamp will work on a “visible stones” coating for some 20 meters. With a technical educator, few operations will have to be done: taking out the vegetation on the wall, peg and lay stones on the top of the wall, make the traditional coating with lime.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In a shared accommodation, under tents, boys and girls separated. Sanitary facilities in the locker rooms. Collective life and cooking under the courtyard and in a little house called “Le Paddock”. Cleaning and cooking tasks will be done together. Bring a sleeping bag and a mat.
You will enjoy a sustainable lifestyle within the camp (local organic food, composting, energy saving…).
