Project: This summer the town of Torcy is hosting the third edition of the 'Festi'Val Fracheur', an urban-culture festival, organised by local youth associations, which showcases performances of music, graffiti and break dancing. The aim of this festival is to promote the expression of cultural diversity, to create links between different generations of people and to encourage young people to engage with their community. Work: As a volunteer in this camp you will work with local young volunteers from various partner organisations to help to prepare the park where the festival takes place. The work will focus in particular on an old amphitheatre in the park, in order to make the venue accessible and safe to all, as well as attractive. You will also help to promote the festival in the local community and act as stewards for the public during the festival itself. After the event, you will help to clear the site of the festival and celebrate the end of the project with the local partners! Leisure Activities: Volunteers will have the opportunity to meet many other young people from the community of Torcy and its surrounding areas. The group will also be able to arrange other activities according to the opportunities and the available budget. Accommodation: You will sleep on mattresses in a local gymnasium. Location: Approximately 30km east of Paris. Closest Train Station: Torcy RER Note: This project should not be seen as a sightseeing trip to Paris. If participants wish to visit Paris, they should arrive some days before or leave some days after the dates of the summer camp.
