🏢 About the local organisation
This is the first year of partnership between Concordia and the town of Suce-sur-Erdre.
The municipality's wish is to welcome internationals volunteers in order to let them meet the young people and inhabitants of Suce-sur-Erdre. The inhabitants and the local structures will be mobilized to welcome this workcamp, which is a real opportunity to participate in the dynamics of the commune.
💼 What the programme involves
You will carry out small-scale development work in the Park Ganuchaud: clearing brushwood, developing a pond, building wooden fences.
This work camp is the result of collaboration between the non-profit organization Concordia and the town of Suce-sur-Erdre.
The town hall is in charge to redevelop the Park Ganuchaud, the town's green lung, with a view to preserving biodiversity and the environment in the future. This project is one of the first steps in the development of the site, which will soon be open to the town's inhabitants.
For this first year of partnership, a group of international and national volunteers and young people from the commune will work together on these small-scale development projects. You will be accompanied by workcamp leaders throughout the work site to help you step by step in learning these techniques!
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation in a guesthouse at the Mazerolles water sports center. Collective life and self-catering in the guesthouse. Household chores and meal preparation will be done in group. Bring a sleeping bag.
You will share the different collective tasks and prepare meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leaders and you will participate in the preparation of meals, prioritizing good products from the market and local producers.
