Project: For many years, the municipality of Melle has been working hard for the respect of the environment. It is therefore committed to safeguarding and enhancing biodiversity. This year, the municipality is committed to developing the multi-activity space in the city center, between the social center, the housing center and the media library. Thus, interculturality will be lived closer to the premises with awareness-raising activities aimed at the community’s commitment to the values of interculturality and international solidarity. Your actions will be in accordance with the objective 11 of sustainable development (UN) in favor of sustainable cities and communities.
Work: You will have several missions within this construction site: the creative and artistic development of green spaces, urban furniture and sports structures. Finally, you will be encouraged to participate in local life, in particular through the organization of evening concerts and July 14 festivities. You will lead intercultural awareness workshops for the general public, where your theatrical skills and commitment will be highlighted. You will work around 5 hours per morning, and sometimes in the evenings to help with the concerts’ organisation.
Accommodation and food: In a tent, in the municipal campsite with a tivoli (large tent) available and all facilities (refrigerator, gas cooker, kitchen utensils, etc.). You must come with your duvet and pillow. You will have a vehicle available for all mobility in the region. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you have a food budget which the facilitators will manage and communicate with you throughout the work). The meals will be prepared, in turn, by you, especially for lunch and dinner while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as the culture of each and everyone (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan will be prepared).
Location: Melle, department of Deux-Sèvres, 60 km from the sea, between Poitiers and La Rochelle.

You can also visit historical, cultural and tourist sites that make the charm of our region.
