🏢 About the local organisation
The Loudeac-Communaute Bretagne Centre Community of Communes, which brings together about forty towns, gives the opportunity every year to a town on its territory to organise an international workcamp, in partnership with the youth service of the Community of Communes. This year, the new town of Guerledan has been chosen for this beautiful project.
The new town of Guerledan, which brings together the town of Mur-de-Bretagne and Saint-Guen, has a population of about 2,500 inhabitants.
💼 What the programme involves
Get involved to enhance a beautiful megalithic site: the “Allee Couverte de Coet Correc“ on the territory of Loudeac Community.
Each year Loudeac Community organizes an international workcamp on its territory, and for the second year with Concordia! The Town of Guerledan welcomes you for a workcamp where you will help to enhance an exceptionally beautiful piece of heritage, typical of the legendary Brittany. The “Allee Couverte de Coet Correc“ is megalithic site, a long barrow dating from the Neolithic period, located in a forest.
You will build stone steps to facilitate access to the site in the undergrowth. You may be required to work on other elements to enhance the site and promote the site for the inhabitants of the commune.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in two-person tents near the sport field, in the town, which is located about 5 km from the worksite (please bring your sleeping mat and a warm sleeping bag). The group activities and meals will take place in a room made available for the group. The group will share the cleaning tasks and prepare meals together. The budget will be allocated to the camp leaders, you will participate in the grocery shopping and preparation of meals with products from the market and local producers (if possible).
📍 About the location

You will be able to take part in Cap Armor's activities and will also share convivial moments with the inhabitants and young people of the town. You will also go on once or twice to the sea.
ℹ️ Additional information
You will have to bring warm clothes (trousers, sweater, socks, enclosed shoes, rain clothes) and light ones (skirt or shorts, t-shirt, open shoes) because weather can change very suddenly in Brittany. You can literally experience all four seasons in one day! Please also take with you working clothes, gloves and shoes in addition to your swimsuit. As nights are sometimes fresh and wet, bring a sleeping bag for cold weather and an insulated camping mat.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
