🏢 About the local organisation
This year, we are going to do the 10th edition of the international workcamp in the town of Esprels! Ten years of renovation, sharing, construction of peace and strong bonds between villagers and volunteers. So come and join us!
💼 What the programme involves
You are going to continue the renovation of Street Saint Desle's gutter, which began last year. In a multicultural and heterogeneous group, you will learn how to work in a team. You will also learn both, masonry and the proper way to cut stones. Although the workcamp doesn't require any specific competence, the work will be a bit physical and subject to the local weather.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You're going to be located at the centre of the village, in the town hall. You will sleep in a common room with camp beds, so remember to bring your sleeping bag and a pillow. A kitchen will be arranged near the school. You will be encouraged to participate in the collective life. Therefore, you will be in charge of the kitchen and the stewardship from time to time. Food will be taken care of. You will take showers in the villagers' houses, creating another occasion for exchange and sharing.
📍 About the location
Esprels is a small village in the rural area of Haute Saône. It's 20 km from Vesoul and 50 km from Besançon.
With the help of the villagers, you're going to have the possibility to discover touristic places in the region: among them the historic citadelle in Besançon and the chapel of Ronchamp. But it will also be on you, the volunteers, to propose activities. The villagers are very engaged in the life of the workcamp. They will invite you for dinner, an aperitif, or a coffee. You will have the opportunity to build stong bonds with the locals, and feel like you're a part of the village.
