📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In partnership with the Youth department of the “Communauté de Communes Oise Pays d’Halatte (CCOPH)”, Concordia organizes a workcamp with teenagers from the county and international volunteers. The distinctive feature of this workcamp is being divided into different kinds of work. The 1st part will take place in the school and day camp playground of Pont Ste Maxence, where an educational garden will be created in relation to the kids and the 2nd part will take place in Villeneuve sous Verberie with the creation of another educational garden.
💼 What the programme involves
Following the 2015 workcamp, you are going to keep on developing the educational garden of Pont Ste Maxence: you will install display cases for vegetables and flowers and then plant some, create a hotel for insects, build a fence and create a pathway … as well as setting up the first elements in Villeneuve sur Verberie (the display cases for example).
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sleeping in tents, with boys and girls separated, in the school of Pont Ste Maxence, where the main part of the work will take place, and you will use the sanitary facilities of the school. Don’t forget to bring your sleeping bags!
📍 About the location
The CCOPH is a group of villages situated between Creil and Compiège in the Oise department, crossed by the river of the same name. It is mainly a rural and forest territory (with the Halatte forest) but it is close to Paris. To learn more: http://www.ccpoh.fr/
⚠️ Requirements
Remember to bring your sleeping bag and warm clothes with you! 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.
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!
