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 is located in the mountains and the differences in levels make it difficult for the ones with reduced mobility to use the site. The objective of this workcamp is therefore to increase the accessibility to the outdoor areas of the hosting centre. During the work you will adapt the already existing paths to make them more accessible and also create new sections to connect them. In this way you will learn about the development standards for persons with reduced mobility as well as smaller foundation and earth-moving works. Moreover you will make paving stones using different mortars, make low walls with stones from the river and also do some gardening.
in tents, all facilities available on site
Location: Vaunières (7 km from the village of St Julien en Beauchêne, 40 km from the city of Gap)
Leisure activities: Situated in a remarkable natural environment, Vaunières 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.
