About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project is organizing within an educative center for professional inclusion and medical support for youth. It hosts all year long around one hundred of young people, who are facing many sorts of difficulties. The idea of the workcamp is to mix the international volunteers group with the young people of the school for some parts of the day in order to encourage them to develop exchanges with people from different backgrounds, and to integrate them in a collective project of tolerance and citizenship. The school is situated in a beautiful place that was created in the 19th century and is classified as Historical Monument. For several years now, it hosts an international workcamp every summer before the end of the school year, the workcamp is contributing to the complete restoration of the site and has always provided a very warm welcome to the group.

💼 What the programme involves

Restoration of a stone wall according to traditional masonry and some works of landscaping, and intercultural activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in one of the buildings, with a kitchen, bathrooms and rooms to organize the sleeping time. The group will organize itself to cook and maintain the place clean.
