📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In one day, the large-scale “Mediterranean episode” on 2 and 03 October 2020, the raging rivers of Alpes-Maritimes (storm Alex) devastated the roads along the Roya valley, destroyed part of the access path to the “Neige et Merveilles” site, damaged two reception buildings and scarred the landscape. You will participate in a solidarity work project that will bring together the association’s members, young European volunteers, and voluntary work project associations in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region; we want to welcome everyone who sent us their kind and supportive messages and who want to participate in rebuilding the site.
💼 What the programme involves
The works involve rebuilding the banks of the river, maintaining and/or recreating the footpaths, clearing landslides, rebuilding the supporting walls, and more. You will work 4 days a week from 8.30 am to midday and from 2 pm to 5.30 pm. You will be accompanied in your work by a technical supervisor.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sharing a room for 4 people with bathroom facilities. The meals are not prepared by the volunteers but by the kitchen staff. You will be asked to help with some food preparation, tidying the dining areas, and the washing-up.
📍 About the location
Leisure time will be based around mountain activities, hiking, bivouac, food transportation, visits to archaeological and mining sites, discovery of the flora and fauna in the surrounding alpine environment. Your daily life will be supervised by an activity coordinator.
