Project: Every year, the village of Cercoux organises a week of living together with the pupils of the pre-school and primary
school just before the spring holidays. This year, the Mayor wanted to add an intercultural aspect to this festival and called on
our organisation Maison des Bateleurs-Solidarités Jeunesses for this.
Work: During the first week, you will work with the children of Cercoux, from the nursery to the primary school, to organise
the week of living well together. Depending on your affinities, you will be able to organise the preparation of dishes with the
children of the primary school, or the initiation to music and dances of your choice to the children of the nursery and the pre-
school. In the second week, you will work on interculturality and living together with the children who could not go on holiday.
The last week will be more open to the different associations of the territory (youth associations, recycling centres...)
Accommodation and food: First, you will be living with a local family first, each one of you will have his/her host family. Then,
from the second week onwards, you will be accommodated in the school where you will have all the facilities at your disposal.
You need to bring your sleeping bag. You will be working at the school but you’ll have a van for your travels through the region.
Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal will be prepared each day by teams except for breakfast, while
respecting the values of sustainable development and the culture of each person (vegetarian and vegan meals are available
upon request).
Location: Cercoux, in Charente-Maritime.
Leisure activities: You can enjoy many cultural activities such as visiting historical towns like Jonzac, Blaye, Rochefort, La
Rochelle, Bordeaux, among others. You can also take the opportunity to go hiking in the surrounding forests, or enjoy the good
times at the beach on the Gironde coast
Time and directions to the meeting point: Coutras train station between 4pm and 6pm. The campleaders will take you
from the train station to the accommodation
