SOIL AND LIME : THE RIGHT RECIPE ! 2

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Are you curious about sharing an experience of living and working together with young people of different cultures? Do you enjoy the outdoors and rural life? What are you waiting for? Le Créneau, an organization for non-formal education awaits you on its castle grounds at the Château des Prureaux, here in the middle of the French countryside! You will share the work and daily life with people that came from all over the world and from various social backgrounds to offer their time and energy, be it for a week, a month or a year - because together we can go further!

💼 What the programme involves

Continuing the work done by previous workcamps, you will work on the walls surrounding the castle grounds and learn how to restore and reinforce them. For this you will use natural materials, such as soil and lime, to to coat the stone structure of the wall and add a homemade whitewash paint on top. You will also have the possibility to work in the on-site vegetable garden.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in tents and use the exterior bathroom and dry toilets. Food is provided and you will take turns in preparing the meals in the fully equipped kitchen on site.
