WORK: You will do renovation work in Saint-Alban-Leysse during the first ten days of the project. The technical advisors for this part of the project will prepare a programme of varied tasks for you, from traditional stone masonry to painting urban furniture, and even clearing away undergrowth in green spaces. You will work in small teams and you will have the chance to try everything, under the watchful eyes of the experienced and kind town workers. During the final ten days your team will carry out work in Bassens: accompanied by a local walkers organisation, who will help you to restore the hiking paths to good condition. Please note: There will be bikes available to use by your team to travel between your accommodation and your project work sites.
ACCOMODATION: You will be staying in the Champiteau building, near to the Saint-Alban-Leysse’s town centre: on site there will be a kitchen, toilets, and showers; and even a little garden for taking naps in the shade! For bedding, J & R will provide sleeping mats which you can put in one of the building’s rooms; remember to bring sheets and a sleeping bag! The meals will be prepared as a group and you will be required to take part in daily chores (cooking, dish washing, cleaning, etc.) Don’t forget to bring ingredients and recipes from your country to show your country’s gastronomy to the other volunteers and the inhabitants. Please note: Bikes will be available to you for travelling between your accommodation and your project work site, and also for exploring the surrounding areas independently!
