📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Separated by few kilometers, two villages had the common desire to host volunteer workcamps to participate to the renovation of their small built heritage.
On one side, there is Pisieu. On the other side, there is Revel-Tourdan. Between both villages, a small road which separates them by a few kilometers, and a common wish to facilitate the intercultural exchanges. In the middle, Concordia is proud to propose you this first international workcamp which will allow you to be part of two different activities : the renovation of a low outer wall in roundstones in Pisieu and some renovation works around a wash-house in Revel-Tourdan.
💼 What the programme involves
For each activity, distinct goals have been planned. Concerning the low-wall in roundstones, it's partly covered by ivies. You'll have to remove the vegetation and rebuild the wall with the recovered materials. Concerning the wash house, you'll work on the surroundings to make it more accessible and give it a clean aspect. On these two workcamps, you'll be accompanied by a technical leader who will teach you some masonry skills.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in tents, with boys and girls separated, on a communal land, close to the low-wall in Pisieu. Don't forget to bring your sleeping bag. You'll cook and have your meals in the municipality rooms. Sanitaries facilities will be at your disposal in the 2 municipalities. And you'll have showers in the locker rooms of the soccer field of Revel-Tourdan. To facilitate the organisation, a minibus will make regular shuttles between the different meeting places. You will participate to prepare the meals alternately, with products that will be bought in the area. We'll favour the local products and the short supply circuits. Tastings of local specialities may also be organised with local producers.
📍 About the location
The municipalities of Pisieu and Revel-Tourdan are located in Isère, half the way from Lyon and Grenoble. They are two small villages expanding in a peaceful and green countryside. In the two municipalities, you'll be able to visit many monuments, witnesses of the richness of history through the centuries. Enjoy a stay in wilderness. On foot, by horse or by mountainbike, let yourselves be guided on the 750 km of trails. You'll also be able to practise traditional or sport fishing and to enjoy the pleasures of bathing.
⚠️ Requirements
To work on the workcamp, bring along a pair of working gloves, sturdy shoes and clothes that can get dirty. As the nights can be cool, take a warm sleeping bag with you and warm clothes. Don't forget also protections against the sun (suncream, hat, glasses...). Some convivial times will be organised! If you want to share a bit of your culture with the others, bring a piece of your country in your backpack (cooking recipes, traditional tales, unusual objects…). 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.
