📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Concordia organized a project with the city of Roye involving the town’s old washhouse. A water point in the heart of the city where different frog species found a new home and a natural biodiversity evolved. Roye is a city located between Amiens and Noyon, in the middle of the Santerre. You are invited to join us to give this typical and picturesque place a new look.
💼 What the programme involves
Throughout the years, the pond has suffered from erosion. Your mission will be to renovate it. The project will include cleaning the old washhouse, sealing the brick rim, jointing of bricks, brushing and painting of 2 benches and of the fence around the area.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in a tent in the football stadium of the municipality. You will have access to showers and to a locker room. The living space, where you will find the kitchen and do the group activities, is 100 meter away from the stadium. You will share the different daily tasks and prepare meals together.
📍 About the location
Roye is a city of 5 800 inhabitants, located between Amiens and Noyon, and crossed by the Avre river. The municipality will give you access to the swimming pool, which is quite close to the living space. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to do archery with the city club as well as various activities offered during the summer season.
⚠️ Requirements
Bring working clothes and closed shoes and/or boots for working in the water. Since you will be sleeping in tents, do not forget to bring your sleeping bag and a floor mat. Feel free to bring specialities, pictures, musical instruments: whatever you like and would want to share on the work camp, with the local population or with the other volunteers!
