📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In association with the Bancels de Calquières, you will carry out an international workcamp in the commune of Saint-Germain-de-Calbert. We'll be working on the bancels des calquières in Saint-Germain-de-Calberte. Through this project, you'll be learning about the richness and beauty of the Cévennes' heritage, and helping to raise its profile by learning about it and raising awareness of it, as well as contributing to its enhancement. The aim of this project is to promote local know-how and contribute to the rehabilitation of an exceptional heritage of dry-stone farm buildings, through an international workcamp to raise awareness of biodiversity and the environmental qualities of dry-stone construction.
💼 What the programme involves
On a small part of the site, the work would consist firstly in clearing the vegetation in order to clear the structures - retaining walls, copings, double-faced walls - and secondly in repairing the damaged structures as part of a dry-stone worksite. The preliminary brush-clearing work will take place during the first week and will be supervised by the technical staff of the Mairie, who are also involved in the project. The second week will be devoted to discovering the terraces and dry-stone structures, under the supervision of the Artisans Bâtisseurs en Pierre Sèche association.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You'll be welcomed by the commune, which will open gîtes for you and organize evening gatherings in the multi-purpose hall. Local residents and elected representatives will be invited and encouraged to take part in the project (welcome, mutual aid, solidarity and exchanges).
