🏢 About the local organisation
If you want to live an experience of collective life, to learn to cooperate and to discover other ways of living or other views on the world, then come to the “Centre de Beaumotte“, an association based around public education where we await you with enthusiasm. Here in the country side you'll share your daily life with youth from around the whole world and with different socioeconomic backgrounds. In our house we like to make our differences a treasure!
💼 What the programme involves
Our association is a place of life that welcomes people from all horizons of life every year. We like it when our practices are part of a sustainable development approach. During this project, you will participate in the construction of solar showers, which will be used by groups in the summer. You will be able to learn carpentry techniques for around 4 hours each morning. Other workshops can take place in different phases depending on your desires: permaculture, making herbal teas, upcycling... You will take turns participating in daily life tasks, including cooking and cleaning.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will camp in our association's park, where we will install large collective tents (10 to 16 places). You will sleep in bunk beds, separated by gender. Bring a good sleeping bag and your pillow! You will have access to the house's showers and toilets. There are also dry toilets outside. The place is equipped with a professional grade kitchen. Accompanied by the camp leaders, your group will prepare meals each day, in turns. In Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week, and WiFi is limited in certain rooms of the house. There is no washing machine: bring enough to last 15 days or hand detergent!
