📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Lesigny provides the local youth with some facilities: a music room, a youth information centre, and a bungalow where local youth can meet and organize activities. The town is willing to let the youth renovate their bungalow. In order to help the local young people with this work, the town will organize an international workcamp for the first time.
💼 What the programme involves
The work will consist of renovating the outside wooden walls of two buildings of the town: the youth bungalow and an activity room. With the support of a professionnal technical leader, you will do some wood work, as well as some painting. During the whole project, you will work with local youngsters.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in some activity rooms of the youth information centre. You need to bring along a sleeping bag. The showers are in another very close building. Food will be provided and cooked by the volunteers in turns.
📍 About the location
A park with a lot of facilities surrounds the place where the workcamp will be organized. The town of Lesigny is located 20 km south-east of Paris.
During the workcamp, you will be able to take part in cultural outings and activities organized with local young people. You will have opportunities to discover the local heritage, such as the castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte. Other free-time activities will be organized collectively, depending on the wishes of the group and the available budget.
ℹ️ Additional information
This project should not be seen as a sightseeing trip to Paris. If you wish to visit Paris, you should arrive a few days before, or leave a few days after the dates of the workcamp.
