🏢 About the local organisation
For this 7th partnership waith the municipality of Nogent-sur-Oise, Concordia carries on a dynamic that mixes local teenagers and youth from different countries, including Palestine via the twining of this commune with the Aida refugee camp in the West Bank. The goal remins similar: to help improve 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 leisure 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
The municipality manages a retirement home called « Résidence Saint Exupéry » https://www.facebook.com/rpasaintexuperynogentsuroise/. After the success of the 2014 workcamp which has redesigned the garden, we will renovate the common life room that needs a good coat of paint. You will therefore scratch and spackle cracks and holes and repaint the entire room to give it a fresh new start and make it the most comfortable possible for the residents.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in separated men/women tents. Living/eating room indoor, at the football stadium and next to the swimming pool. Don't forget your sleeping bag and your swimsuit!
📍 About the location
Nogent-sur-Oise is located in the middle of the Oise, near Creil and Chantilly.
⚠️ Requirements
No need to bring gloves or tools: everything is provided by the municipality once you arrive! Think to take clothes for the manual work and closed-toe shoes like baskets. For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat. Please feel free to bring some food specialities, 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.
