Project:In the heart of the Hautes Alpes, the association Les Villages des Jeunes has been managing, livening up and renovating the reception centre of Vaunires since 1964. It is an old mountain hamlet, now a springboard' place for youth and adults experiencing family, health or professional difficulties, and who need to take some time to recharge, acquire new skills and reflect on their plans. Vaunires is also a place where families, tourists and people with disabilities come on holiday to enjoy the calm of the mountains and the dynamics of the place. The workcamps that we organise at Vaunires with volunteers from all over the world allow us to strengthen the cultural diversity of our activities and to make this site open to the world, a place where people of all ages and all social and cultural backgrounds agree to meet by working together and sharing collective life. We hope that you also, a volunteer from France or abroad, will come in this spirit of encounter and working together which brings our project to life. Task:The reception centre is composed of many buildings that have been transformed into collective accommodation (dormitories). Today, the demand of users and reception standards have evolved, thus, we have decided to transform one part of the house Htellerie into a home with 12 places, in order to be able to welcome there people with reduced mobility, families and small groups in a more familial manner. You will take part in the last stage of this project: the plastering and painting of the walls as well as the finishing touches. Notably, this project will use ecological materials and will be an occasion for you to discover these new methods. Free time:Situated in a remarkable natural environment, Vaunires is an ideal place to discover the joy of hiking and life in a rural area, with its markets, people and its producers. In the evenings, you will be able to organise games, international meals or show movies . During the project, touristic outings to discover the towns and villages of the region may also be organised. Finally, this project finishes with our general assembly: an event of the association that reunites volunteers and members of the association and in which you may participate.
