About the project

TOGETHER, LET'S BUILD THE MIDDLE SCHOOL'S WALL

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

"Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge" is a town in southwest France, nestled in the countryside. The town is an association's partner, with which we achieved our first workcamps in "Charente-Maritime". After ten years without projects, the town wanted to revive the workcamps' intercultural spirit in 2019 and notably to refurbish the school. The 2021 workcamp will continue replacing the middle school's wall.

💼 What the programme involves

Supervised by two professionals in building, we'll reconstruct a wall at "Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge" Middle School's entrance. We'll begin to strip the wall's bad part. Later, we'll take reusable stones, then install the wall according to traditional practices.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Mixed dorms, with all facilities (bathroom, kitchen...). Meals will be offered and made in turn.

📍 About the location

Share your cultural heritage with the locals and Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge's organizations. Tour of the region will be collectively planned as you wish (visits, ocean, museums...). There are regional cities to enjoy like Bordeaux, La Rochelle, St Emilion... Free time will favor encountering locals, in particular with the middle school's young people, waiting for you!
