About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Dolus d’Oléron is a charming sunbathing place on the island « ile d’Oléron » , seaside of the Atlantic Ocean. It is located right in the middle of Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron and Château-d’Oléron , the two main cities of the island. La Cailletière was constructed after World War 2 and is no longer able to host people today, but the community wishes to bring the ancient travel site back to life. The region would like to develop artistic education, which is non existent in the community, by starting a music school. Dolus d’Oléron chose to begin an international workcamp in order to incorporate intercultural exchanges and dynamism.

💼 What the programme involves

The work is lead by an technical employee so that you will work together on the renovation of the hosting center « la Cailletière ». You will deconstruct and clean the interior of the building which will become the music school. In addition, you will participate in the preparation of the festival « O ! Les Rues » : working on the preparation of stands, activities, signs for security, etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Collective life, in tents with all commodities (kitchen, bathroom, etc). The meals will be prepared by your group.
