📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Saddle up: get on your bikes and get involved! A local governmental organization is setting up the “Fête de l’engagement” - a day to honour voluntary involvement and active citizenship. This workcamp is created in relation to that event with the aim of showcasing volunteering in action by supporting local projects that are of interest to the general public.
💼 What the programme involves
You will move around the area by bike to work on several small projects such as helping to set up an event, giving a hand to local organizations or small scale reconstruction work. In doing so you will not only make local projects happen but also show what voluntary involvement can look like and give the locals the opportunity to get involved as well. The three week’s work will lead towards the “Fete de l’engagement” for which you will prepare interactive activities and show a creative report on the ways in which you got involved in the area.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in different places, therefore, the accommodation can be in tents as well as in dormitories inside buildings. Food will be provided and you will all take turns in preparing the meals.
📍 About the location
The free time is organized collectively. You will be able to use the bikes provided to discover the area, go swimming, participate in local cultural events, it will depend on you!
⚠️ Requirements
This workcamp is a very demanding project. Given that you will move from place to place, you will need to be motivated, flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances. Be aware that you will do long trips on bikes!
