📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In 2016, the two villages hosted a first international volunteer work camp with Concordia. When you go for a walk, you will discover the wall that we renovated in Pisieu and the path around the washhouse in Revel-Tourdan. The municipal teams are working together to carry out this new project with the aim of strengthening the links between the communes and creating times of conviviality.
💼 What the programme involves
In the heart of the Dauphine region, in a green and hilly region, the villages of Pisieu and Revel-Tourdan welcome you to their project to create a hiking trail.
Only a few kilometres separate the two villages, which share the common desire to highlight the richness of their territory by creating a trail unveiling the heritage but also the biodiversity (wetlands, forests, meadows...) of the region.
You will be responsible for marking out the route, cleaning up certain areas (clearing brushwood) and creating natural constructions to facilitate the walk.
The work will be supervised by a specialist with skills in the development of a natural area. It does not require any specific skills and is not difficult to carry out. All you need is your motivation and good mood.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in individual tents on a communal plot of ground next to the town hall of Pisieu. The kitchen will be set up under a sheltered area. You will have access to showers and toilets in the new village hall. In case of bad weather, a room in the Pisieu town hall will be accessible. Together, you will participate in the organisation of the collective life (cleaning, activities...) and in the preparation of the meals, in turn, from products that will be bought nearby. As far as possible, we will favour local products as well as short distribution channels, while respecting the diets of all the participants.
📍 About the location
The municipalities of Pisieu and Revel-Tourdan are located in the department of Isere, in the Auvergne Rhone-Alpes region, at equal distance between Lyon and Grenoble (60-70 km) and close to Beaurepaire. They are two small villages set in peaceful, green countryside. The area offers many opportunities for walking, and you will have the opportunity to discover local specialities (honey, goat farm...), the Dauphin heritage (Barbarin castle, the ideal Palace of the Facteur Cheval...) and its culinary specialities.
⚠️ Requirements
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 arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
ℹ️ Additional information
Remember to bring gloves, clothes and shoes that are not sensitive to dirt. Also remember to bring a warm sleeping bag and suitable clothing in case of rain (fleece, mackintosh...). Don't forget sun protection (hat, glasses, cream...) and your swimsuit (there is a swimming pool in Beaurepaire). Convivial times will be programmed with our animators according to your desires. If you wish to share a little of your culture (cooking recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects, music...), don't hesitate to put a little piece of your country or region in your backpack.
