Arbejde

Forte de son histoire, la forteresse accueille des bénévoles internationaux·ales depuis les années 1980 afin de l'entretenir, de la valoriser et d'animer la vie locale durant l'été. Cette année, ce sont 6 chantiers internationaux qui y sont organisés sur la période estivale. Tu participeras à la deuxième session de l'année.
Viens participer à la sauvegarde et à la valorisation de ce patrimoine d'exception ! Autour du château, tu réaliseras plusieurs travaux de restauration. Accompagné·e par un·e encadrant·e technique, tu participeras à l’entretien des maçonneries en découvrant les techniques traditionnelles : dejointoiement et rejointoiement des murs, fabrication de mortier à base de chaux et de sable, maniement des outils. Tu participeras aussi à l’entretien des boiseries : barrières de sécurité, construction en palettes pour les espaces de détente. Tu participeras également aux actions environnementales de la forteresse : débroussaillage, taille des arbustes, entretien du potager, rénovation des cabines de toilettes sèches. Tu pourras également prendre part à des activités manuelles et culturelles d'embellissement et de valorisation de la forteresse.

With its rich history, international volunteers have been welcomed at the castle since the 1980s to help maintain and promote it, and enliven local life during the summer. This year, 6 international workcamps are organized at the fortress over the summer. You will participate in the second session of the year.
Come and join the preservation and enhancement efforts of this exceptional heritage! Around the castle, you will carry out several restoration tasks. Guided by a technical supervisor, you will help maintain the masonry by learning traditional techniques: removing and re-pointing the walls, making lime and sand mortar, and handling the tools. You will also assist with maintaining the woodwork: safety barriers and building with pallets for relaxation areas. Finally, you will take part in maintining the fortress's environment: clearing brush, pruning shrubs, maintaining the vegetable garden, and renovating the dry toilet cabins. You will also be able to take part in hands-on and cultural activities aimed at enhancing and showcasing the fortress.

Kost og logi

L'hébergement se fait sous tente, à 10/15 min à pieds de la forteresse et à 5 min à pieds du centre de la commune. Tout est organisé sur place dans le respect de l'environnement (tri des déchets et compost) avec l'objectif d'avoir un mode de vie plus écologique.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les bénévoles participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs. Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !
Dans une optique de réduction de l’impact environnemental de nos chantiers, nous privilégions des menus végétariens, qui répondent à tous les besoins nutritionnels des participant·e·s.
Le groupe sera constitué de bénévoles français·e·s et internationaux·ales. Afin d’assurer l’intégration de tout le monde, nous comptons sur toi pour parler anglais autant que possible !
Cette année, il est possible qu’un autre groupe de volontaires, français·e·s et/ou internationaux·ales, soit accueilli en parallèle du chantier et participe également aux temps de travail. Les espaces pourront donc être partagés : une communication attentive et bienveillante sera essentielle. Cette cohabitation sera aussi une belle occasion de multiplier les rencontres et de renforcer la dimension interculturelle du projet.

Accommodation is in tents, 10-15 minutes on foot from the fortress and 5 minutes on foot from the centre of the village. Everything is organised on-site with respect for the environment (waste sorting and composting) with the goal of promoting a more ecofriendly lifestyle.
Beyond working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces. Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organisation!
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, we prioritise vegetarian menus, which meet all the nutrional needs of participants.
There will be French volunteers on the workcamp. Some of them might not speak English. This can be an opportunity for everyone to develop new language skills and innovatove ways of communicating!
This year, another group of French and/or international volunteers may be hosted at the same time and take part in the work activities. Living spaces may therefore be shared, and attentive, considerate communication will be essential. This cohabitation will also be a great opportunity to multiply encounters and further strengthen the intercultural dimension of the project.

Depuis les années 80, des bénévoles participent chaque année à la sauvegarde, la rénovation et à l'animation touristique du château, alors pourquoi pas toi ?
Ces dernières années, la forteresse s'est refaite une beauté ! Les bénévoles ont continué à faire des travaux de maçonnerie traditionelle sur les murs du château et ont développé le potager médiéval au pied de la tour du Seigneur. A vous de prendre le flambeau !

Inside a lovely little French village, the castle of Montaigu le Blin is an impressive medieval fortress, classified as Historical Monument. It is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the countryside. Since 2002, volunteers have been participating, every summer, to the restoration of the castle. These last years, the fortress has regained its beauty! Since the 80s, volunteers come every year to restore and protect the castle. These last couple of years, volunteers restored the castle walls using traditional masonry techniques and developped the medieval vegetable garden at the bottom of the Lord's tower. This year, it's your turn to live an experience back in time!

Arbejde

The purpose of this workcamp is to participate in the recovery of old paths and learn the history of the Pyrenees, learn about culture and nature, and participate in both with different activities of preservation and conservation.
The technical work that will be carried out in the field of work consists, in general, in different tasks related to the recovery of the old roads of the valley.
The following are the main ones:
- Road clearing: mowing grass, bushes, etc., which grow in the spring to leave the roads comfortably passable on foot.
- Remove stones from the road: pick up stones that have fallen on the road and set them aside in an orderly manner at the edges to make the passage passable.
- Rebuild the simplest sections of dry stone wall: rebuild those walls that have fallen and are easily rebuildable.
- Improved signage with paint: review the tracking marks of the paths with paint according to the instructions given to us by the "Alt Pirineu" Natural Park.
- Improved paved sections: some trails have cobbled sections that have worn out; redo these sections in order to maintain the cobbled areas.

Kost og logi

The accommodation is in a terrain called "La Solana”, near the village of Vilamur.
It's a camping area in the middle of nature, so you should definitely be eager to have a (somehow) wild experience!
Volunteers will spend their days at a campsite, and they will camp and sleep in tents; usually there are 3-4 participants per tent and no separation by gender.
Tents are basic; mainly, there’s only space for sleeping or lying down. Tents will be provided by the organization, and volunteers will sleep on a mattress on the floor. Participants must bring their own sleeping bag (it’s highly recommended to bring a good one, as in the Pyrenees it can be cold at night even in summer) and mattress.
There is 1 dry toilet near the campsite and 1 shower available in the camp with COLD WATER (we strongly recommend bringing eco- and biodegradable shower gel or shampoo). There is no hot water in the camp. No gender separation for showers in the river; previous agreements will be done with the group.
The volunteers are in charge of cooking and keeping the area clean and safe: they will be split into groups, each group will prepare the food for one day, and they will be rotating every day, so they will be camping in the field and cooking by themselves.
In general, lunch and dinner will be warm meals, but exceptions can be made in case of a trekking route or spending the whole day out of the campsite.
There’s no Wi-Fi at the campsite. However, there's a mobile phone signal in the area, so you should be able to connect to 4G almost everywhere.
IMPORTANT: There is no electricity to charge phones in the terrain, but there is the possibility to charge the phones in the village of Vilamur.

Beliggenhed og fritid

The workcamp is done in a calm and peaceful area of the Catalan Pyrenees called “Vall de Siarb”.

- Visit to the Despoblat de Santa Creu de Llagunes: guided visit to the medieval Despoblat where we can see the strategic location of the town, its function during the medieval period and why the wall, the watchtowers.
- Thematic tour of the mills: circular itinerary of the mills, where you can see the remains of two flour mills and a hydroelectric power plant that supplied electricity to several villages in the Vall de Siarb.
- Itinerary of Tornafort: circular excursion that will allow us to get to know the paths of the surroundings visiting the picturesque town of Tornafort.
- Vilamur itinerary: circular excursion that will take us from the land to the village of Vilamur, then towards Soriguera, and following the river we will return to the camp.
- Orientation activity: the group will be divided into different teams and based on a series of clues related to the environment they will have to decipher an enigma or map. This dynamic enhances group cohesion and organization, agility and skills.

Arrangeret af

The organization in charge of the work camp is "Balmes Blancs", a non-profit association created in 2010 with the aim of offering unique activities in nature with the aim of presenting new places and new people and deepening, thus, the knowledge of the Catalan territory. 
Since its inception, it has organized various activities such as snowshoe outings with animal footprints, astronomical discoveries, kayak outings to discover marine fauna, rafting drops, hiking in the mountains, or leveling and safety workshops, among others. 
In 2013 the association began working in the Siarb Valley. From that moment on, Balmes Blancs began to focus its activities around this valley and, among other things, guided visits to the "Despoblat de Santa Creu" de Llagunes, visits to the trenches on the Pallars front and to the Vilamur bunkers, discoveries of geology, and activities of flora and fauna in the environment. 
At the same time, the refuge promotes hiking with the creation of signposted routes around Llagunes, as well as a series of actions aimed at recovering the heritage of the Siarb Valley and discovering rural life in Pallars Sobirà and in the rest of the Pyrenees.

Our association is a vibrant living space that welcomes people from all walks of life every year, working together on collective projects and firsthand learning. This year, two projects are being offered to improve the hosting of groups and the life of the center. One involves renovating the volleyball court, which quickly gets overrun by grass during the first rain. You will learn the techniques to make the court playable in any season, working about 4 hours each morning. The second project is to build wooden elements for the house, including insulating shutters. You will also participate in daily life tasks: cooking, gardening, and maintaining the shared spaces.

Kost og logi

You will be housed in the park of our association, where we will set up large communal tents (8 to 16 people). You will sleep in bunk beds in a non-mixed space. Bring a good sleeping bag and your pillow! You will have access to the showers and toilets in the main house. There are also dry toilets outside. The venue is equipped with a professional kitchen. Accompanied by the leaders, your group will take turns preparing meals each day. At Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week. Wi-Fi access is limited and only available in certain rooms of the house. There is no washing machine on-site, so please bring enough clothes for 15 days or hand-washing detergent!

Arbejde

“Youth for Smile”, in partnership with a local NGO, is revitalising the former orphanage building in Lauderi village and transforming it into a centre for non-formal education and community activities.
Volunteers play a key role in this transformation. Through practical work and shared initiative, you will help prepare the territory and the building for its new purpose.
Your Tasks and Activities
Outdoor Area Maintenance (approx. 4 hectares)
The area surrounding the former orphanage is about 4 hectares large. Volunteers will help:
Mow the grass
Clear bushes and overgrown areas
Clean and organise the territory
This work is essential to make the area safe, accessible, and ready for future community use.
Building Preparation
Inside the building, volunteers will assist with:

Dismantling damaged interior finishing (such as wall panels or other worn elements)
Clearing debris
Preparing rooms for future renovation works
This is preparatory work — the goal is to create clean and ready spaces for the next phase of reconstruction.
Community Engagement
The local community is currently not very active, and hosting international volunteers is also a new experience for them. One of our aims is to gently encourage the start of dialogue and cooperation.
Together with volunteers, we will take the first steps toward building communication with local residents — through small meetings, informal conversations, and shared moments. This is an important social aspect of the project, alongside the physical renovation work.
This workcamp is not only about practical tasks, but also about creating connections — with the place, with its history, and with the people who live there.

Kost og logi

Accommodation
Volunteers will stay in a rural house close to the project site. Beds will be provided, but living conditions are simple and basic. The accommodation reflects the rural environment and offers an authentic experience close to nature.
Please be prepared for modest comfort and a shared living space. This is part of the experience of simple and environmentally conscious living.
As the project promotes sustainability, volunteers are strongly encouraged to use environmentally friendly personal hygiene products (biodegradable soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.). Through daily practice, we aim to integrate eco-friendly habits into everyday life.
Food and Cooking
Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves in a shared kitchen. Cooking will be organised in small teams, encouraging cooperation, responsibility, and teamwork.
This is also an opportunity to exchange recipes, learn about different food cultures, and enjoy time together beyond the working hours.
During the camp, we will organise an International Evening. Volunteers are kindly asked to bring some traditional or typical food (or small items/ingredients) from their home country to share with the group.
Living conditions are basic, but the experience offers closeness to nature, community spirit, and shared responsibility — all essential elements of this workcamp.

Beliggenhed og fritid

The project takes place in Lauderi village, located in Ludza municipality in Eastern Latvia. The area is rural, peaceful, and surrounded by forests and natural landscapes. It is a good place to experience quiet countryside life and nature.

Life in a small village allows volunteers to meet local residents and learn about their daily life and traditions.
Volunteers will plan their free-time activities together as a group. This can include small excursions, cultural visits, outdoor activities, or simply relaxing in nature.
More information about Latvia can be found on the official tourism website: https://www.latvia.travel/en](https://www.latvia.travel/en

Arbejde

Forte de son histoire, la forteresse accueille des bénévoles internationaux·ales depuis les années 1980 afin de l'entretenir, de la valoriser et d'animer la vie locale durant l'été. Cette année, ce sont 6 chantiers internationaux qui y sont organisés sur la période estivale. Tu participeras à la troisième session de l'année.
Viens participer à la sauvegarde et à la valorisation de ce patrimoine d'exception ! Autour du château, tu réaliseras plusieurs travaux de restauration. Accompagné·e par un·e encadrant·e technique, tu participeras à l’entretien des maçonneries en découvrant les techniques traditionnelles : dejointoiement et rejointoiement des murs, fabrication de mortier à base de chaux et de sable, maniement des outils. Tu participeras aussi à l’entretien des boiseries : barrières de sécurité, construction en palettes pour les espaces de détente. Tu participeras également aux actions environnementales de la forteresse : débroussaillage, taille des arbustes, entretien du potager, rénovation des cabines de toilettes sèches. Tu pourras également prendre part à des activités manuelles et culturelles d'embellissement et de valorisation de la forteresse.

With its rich history, international volunteers have been welcomed at the castle since the 1980s to help maintain and promote it, and enliven local life during the summer. This year, 6 international workcamps are organized at the fortress over the summer. You will participate in the third session of the year.
Come and join the preservation and enhancement efforts of this exceptional heritage! Around the castle, you will carry out several restoration tasks. Guided by a technical supervisor, you will help maintain the masonry by learning traditional techniques: removing and re-pointing the walls, making lime and sand mortar, and handling the tools. You will also assist with maintaining the woodwork: safety barriers and building with pallets for relaxation areas. Finally, you will take part in maintining the fortress's environment: clearing brush, pruning shrubs, maintaining the vegetable garden, and renovating the dry toilet cabins. You will also be able to take part in hands-on and cultural activities aimed at enhancing and showcasing the fortress.

Kost og logi

L'hébergement se fait sous tente, à 10/15 min à pieds de la forteresse et à 5 min à pieds du centre de la commune. Tout est organisé sur place dans le respect de l'environnement (tri des déchets et compost) avec l'objectif d'avoir un mode de vie plus écologique.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les bénévoles participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs. Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !
Dans une optique de réduction de l’impact environnemental de nos chantiers, nous privilégions des menus végétariens, qui répondent à tous les besoins nutritionnels des participant·e·s.
Le groupe sera constitué de bénévoles français·e·s et internationaux·ales. Afin d’assurer l’intégration de tout le monde, nous comptons sur toi pour parler anglais autant que possible !
Cette année, il est possible qu’un autre groupe de volontaires, français·e·s et/ou internationaux·ales, soit accueilli en parallèle du chantier et participe également aux temps de travail. Les espaces pourront donc être partagés : une communication attentive et bienveillante sera essentielle. Cette cohabitation sera aussi une belle occasion de multiplier les rencontres et de renforcer la dimension interculturelle du projet.

Accommodation is in tents, 10-15 minutes on foot from the fortress and 5 minutes on foot from the centre of the village. Everything is organised on-site with respect for the environment (waste sorting and composting) with the goal of promoting a more ecofriendly lifestyle.
Beyond working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces. Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organisation!
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, we prioritise vegetarian menus, which meet all the nutrional needs of participants.
There will be French volunteers on the workcamp. Some of them might not speak English. This can be an opportunity for everyone to develop new language skills and innovatove ways of communicating!
This year, another group of French and/or international volunteers may be hosted at the same time and take part in the work activities. Living spaces may therefore be shared, and attentive, considerate communication will be essential. This cohabitation will also be a great opportunity to multiply encounters and further strengthen the intercultural dimension of the project.
