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: La Marmite (the Pot) is one of the buildings in Vaunires and its ground floor has during the years served for different purposes such as stocking and processing of local beer, jam and natural cosmetics. The objective of this workcamp is to make the space more functional by reorganising the interiors (working areas, shelves), creating a water point where materiel or garden vegetables can be washed and last but not least, the aim is to restore the building and to clean the walls. This work will give you both the occasion to do carpentry work and building renovation with a new storage space, processing room and a small grocers shop as the result! 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. You will also have the great opportunity to enjoy the 5th edition of the Melting Potes festival one of the big highlights in the village!
