🏢 About the local organisation
The elected officials of the municipality are very invested in the issue of youth and culture. They are delighted to welcome a group of young internationals to animate their territory for this first project with Concordia. The idea of ââthe municipality is that the group can have many contacts with the young people of the area but also with the inhabitants! Prepare yourself for great meetings!
💼 What the programme involves
Come and live a great adventure by participating in a renovation project in the heart of Brittany! The town of Cleguerec welcomes you for its first international project and needs your help to renovate its traditional bread oven in Locqueltas! You will be working on removing vegetation and repointing the walls.. This will be an opportunity for you to learn traditional masonry techniques, but also to meet unforgettable people, and discover a small, bucolic village that runs along the Nantes-Brest canal.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents (provided by Concordia), within the Cleguerec municipal campsite which adjoins the sports field! Group life will be organized nearby in a room made available to the group. You will share the various group tasks and group activities. Together, you will participate in organizing group life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and in preparing meals, in turn, using products that you will purchase nearby. The facilitators will have a budget dedicated to covering these expenses, but you will be in charge of preparing the menus and doing your shopping. A vegetarian diet with local and seasonal products will be favored. This while respecting the participants' diets and discovering local cuisines.
