🏢 About the local organisation
For this 8th 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 fun 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 in the leisure centre Berthelot which all year long hosts children during lunch, after school and on Wednesdays. In 2015 we had redesigned the garden and this year we will redo the paintings and create a fresco, together with a professional graffiti artist! Various tasks will be available: coating, sandpapering and painting.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep under tents separated for boys and girls. 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! The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together.
📍 About the location
Nogent-sur-Oise is located in the middle of the Oise, near Creil and Chantilly.
ℹ️ Additional information
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!
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.
