About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Concordia's New Aquitaine regional office built this project. The association organizes international volunteer workcamps all over France, and this time the workcamp will take place in the associative space. Every year the branch welcomes European volunteers who live on the spot during their mission. At the same time, the regional office plans to develop its local living space.

💼 What the programme involves

*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION *** *** French version at the end of the description *** Join an association in its local living space project! Concordia welcomes this workcamp within its space, and wishes to strengthen its links with the local community. By initiating changes in the regional office space (www.concordia.fr/aquitaine), the European volunteers living there each year will see their living space transformed and embellished. You will participate in the interior renovation of the European Volunteers House, with a restructuring of the living space. You will also do some work in the garden. You will start the actions that will be continued in the second session in September.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in the commune, where you will sleep in tents. You will have at your disposal a room for cooking and the collective life. You will share the different community life group tasks and prepare meals together, to experience group life! With the allocated budget, you will participate in the shopping by favouring healthy and local products.
