THE GIVE-BOX

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The town of Nantueil-les-Meaux wishes to raise eco-friendly awareness and solidarity practices among its inhabitants. A local youth association, Loisirs Jeunes, which organizes activities for local young people, is proposing to build a give-box with the help of an international workcamp. This shelter will be used as a storage for things that people want to get rid of but that can be used by other people.

💼 What the programme involves

With the support of a professional technical leader, you will build a wooden shelter, used as the give-box, in a garden near the townhall. You will also build all the necessary arrangements inside. During the whole project, you will work with local youngsters.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep on mattresses in a big activity room. You need to bring along a sleeping bag. The building has toilets, showers and a kitchen. Food will be provided and cooked by the volunteers in turns.

📍 About the location

The town of Nanteuil-les-Meaux is located 55 km east from Paris and 4 km from the town of Meaux. During the workcamp you will be able to take part in cultural outings and activities organized with local young people and by local partners. You will have opportunities to discover the local heritage, such as the cathedral of Meaux. Other free-time activities will be organized collectively, depending on the wishes of the group and the available budget.

ℹ️ Additional information

This project should not be seen as a sightseeing trip to Paris. If you wish to visit Paris, you should arrive a few days before, or leave a few days after the dates of the workcamp.
