📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
For this 9th partnership with the municipality of Nogent-sur-Oise, Concordia carries on a dynamic that mixes local teenagers and young people from different countries, including Palestine via the city pairing of this municipality with the Aida refugee camp in the West Bank. The goal remains similar: to help improving the life environment and to develop a maximum of links among participants. You will be closely integrated into the life of the community, in the animations with the children of the leisure centre (excursion to the Asterix amusement park or the seaside) and in the retirement home. Many inter-generational exchanges are in the program. One of the most rewarding workcamp!
💼 What the programme involves
This year we will work to safeguard the town built heritage. You will intervene inside the church, on its nave. Are scheduled so far: removing the joints on the walls, picketing and repointing. The rest of the program is still to be defined.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep under tents with boys and girls separated. The living/eating room will be indoor, at the football stadium and next to the swimming pool. Don't forget your sleeping bag and your swimsuit (swimming trunks are not allowed in the swimming pool)! The group will share the cleaning chores and prepare meals together.
📍 About the location
Nogent-sur-Oise is located in the middle of the Oise, near Creil and Chantilly.
⚠️ Requirements
Please take working clothes and 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!
