Project: Clion-sur-Seugne is a rural municipality in the vicinity of Jonzac, in Charente-Maritime. In partnership with the Maison des Bateleurs – Solidarités Jeunesses, the Town Hall plans to create an intercultural link between international volunteers and locals, including children. Thus, the renovation of a common ground will be the justification for starting this joyful meeting!
Work: You will intervene, accompanied by a technical supervisor, on the restoration of a structure in a land to collective use by the premises. The aim will be to carry out traditional masonry work: de-jointing, digging joints and then re-jointing with lime mortar. In parallel, the project will take place with the contact of local children with international volunteers in order to animate intercultural times. Workshops on interculturality are planned to integrate the community at the worksite.
Accommodation and food: You’ll sleep in a two-person tent, please bring your sleeping bag and a pillow. The camp will be in a garden, you’ll have a kitchen and toilets, and the showers will be at the stadium which is located nearby the garden (5 minutes walk). You’ll have bicycles for your transportation from the camp to the workcamp (5 minutes ride or 10 minutes by walk). Also, you’ll have a van for your travels throughout 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).
