About the project

NIEVRE ET SOMME – Restoring the church

📝 Detailed information

🏢 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 outside facades of the church of Cavillon have just been restored. Your task will be to restore the inside: remove a wooden partition, brush and treat a part of the stone and brick base, replace the wooden floor by a brick floor, sand and varnish the pews. In the end, after cleaning up the brick floor (especially changing some damaged ones) you will use flaxseed oil to protect the bricks.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated under tents, at the Picquigny camping site. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together.

📍 About the location

Picquigny is a small and dynamic village close to the Somme and 18kms far from Amiens. Cavillon is a little village with 100 inhabitants.

ℹ️ Additional information

Bring working clothes and close shoes. For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat. Please feel free to bring some food specialties, pictures, musical instrument: things you like and want to share with the group and the local community! Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
