In the heart of the Hautes Alpes, the association “Les Villages des Jeunes” has been managing, livening up and renovating the reception centre of Vaunières 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. Vaunières 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 Vaunières 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.

Descripción:
The hosting centre consists of several buildings, including the “Hôtellerie”. During winter this house was restructured with a new apartment for permanent staff and a lodge as the result. This workcamp will give you the opportunity to step in to the part where the walls will be insulated, beginning with the east façade. The work includes placing a natural insulator, after having prepared the walls and constructed a stationary, wooden framework to hold the plaster. This workcamp will let you discover new techniques, such as traditional plastering and the use of ecological materials!
