SEEDS OF SOLIDARITY

Come and discover the Hautes Alpes by participating in the creation of a high altitude permaculture garden at the Serre-Chevalier Hostel! Located in the heart of the small village of Bez, the Hostel of Serre-Chevalier advocates a sustainable and solidarity-based tourism in a durable and eco-responsible development approach. The establishment is very active in the creation of local partnerships in line with its values of intercultural openness and international exchanges. It is campaigning with a group of non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in order to open a reception center for asylum seekers near the Hostel. The idea is to create a permaculture garden on unexploited land in front of the hostel. It is in this context that a first workcamp of volunteers will be welcomed in order to start creating this garden. It will eventually host workshops for migrants to enable them to acquire new skills in permaculture, to obtain local production for the hostel and for people involved in the management of the garden, to create activities around ecological cooking... This summer, you will lay the foundations of the garden by setting up a system to collect rain and runoff water, building wooden structures for future planting patch, delimiting plots and planting farmers\' seeds in accordance with the principles of permaculture. The project will be supervised by someone experienced in the field and having already knowledge of the possibilities of this type of garden in a mountain environment.
