📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Located in the department of Seine-Saint- Denis, Villemomble is a dynamic city with a rich community life. ICF La Sablière is an important social-housing landlord in the Île-de- France region and is involved in local development projects aimed at improving the living conditions of the inhabitants. This year, Concordia Île-de- France, ICF La Sablière and the non-profit organisation Quartiers Libres are joining forces to welcome a group of international volunteers who will be tasked with improving the communal areas of a housing residence.
💼 What the programme involves
Guided by a team of workcamp leaders, you will participate in the improvement of the communal areas of the residence, creating warm and welcoming spaces for the inhabitants. The work will consist in enhancing the flower boxes of the residence by cleaning them and introducing new plants. In addition, you will participate in the renovation of the residence's walkways. A part of the workcamp will also be dedicated to the volunteers setting up educational and social activities for the inhabitants: organising workshops to raise awareness and share knowledge on gardening, holding a welcoming party or international meals – all good opportunities to share and learn about each other's cultures!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be hosted in shared accommodation on the 14 th floor of a building managed by ICF La Sablière. You will share the various communal tasks with the other volunteers and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the workcamp leaders and you will participate in the food shopping and meal preparation all the while favouring healthy local produce.
