📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This year Concordia renews the partnership with the municipality of Villeréal, picturesque village at the heart of Lot and Garonne. This medieval town is a cultural and touristic center. We organize an international work camp in order to contribute at its upkeep and maintenance, as well as to meet its population and to participate to its cultural events.
💼 What the programme involves
You’ll participate to the maintenance of this beautiful village and its surroundings. Supervised by a Concordia Camp Leader and armed with paintbrushes and paints, you’ll give the communal buildings a new life. You’ll also landscape and clean the hiking paths surrounding the village so that tourists and villagers can use it. You might do some masonry as well. Thanks to the multiple tasks demanded, during this work camp you’ll never be bored!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be camping on the rugby field. Tents for 2 will be provided. Please bring your floor mat and your sleeping bag. There will also be a collective tent for cooking and diverse activities and an old bus transformed to house you! You will share collective tasks and prepare meals as a group. You will also have to manage a budget provided by the group facilitators and participate in grocery shopping, favoring healthy and local foods.
📍 About the location
Founded during the XIII century, Villeréal hosts 1300 inhabitants. You’ll have the opportunity to dive into its rich history as much as in its beautiful natural environment. At the beginning of the work camp, you’ll participate to the final phase of the Art festival of Villeréal that gather dozens of artists organizing performances, art installations and concerts.
⚠️ Requirements
