🏢 About the local organisation
Concordia has been working for several years together with the very dynamic youth centre. This year, this workcamp will work inside the church of Cavillon and the group will be hosted in Picquigny. You are already expected for the National Day, the evening of the 13th of July. A rafting activity has already been programmed with youngsters of the youth centre to facilitate exchanges and meetings!
💼 What the programme involves
The church Chaussee Tirancourt was built in the 18th century, it’s made of stone and the bedrock is made of sandstone. This year you will work on the bedrock from the outside using traditional technics (picketing, repointing).
