Work

You will work alongside the assistant farmers on site, helping with a variety of tasks that support the garden and its produce. This includes garden maintenance, taking care of plants, weeding, and ensuring everything stays healthy. You will also help prepare seedbeds by getting the soil ready for sowing new seeds and planting seedlings. Creating pathways is another part of the work, keeping the garden organized and accessible. Finally, you will assist in preparing vegetable boxes by sorting and packing fresh vegetables for distribution or sale on local markets. These activities give you hands-on experience in sustainable farming while contributing to the daily running of the farm.

Accomodation and food

There will be three meals provided each day, and vegetarian options are available upon request. The site offers a beautiful area to enjoy, and accommodation will be in tents, so be sure to bring your own tent and sleeping gear. If this is impossible, we can arrange something!

Don’t forget to bring clothing that can get dirty, rain gear, work gloves, and closed-toe shoes. You will also need a tent (you can share with other volunteers if you like) and your sleeping equipment, including a mat, sleeping bag, and pillow.

Location and leisure

In consultation with Liesbeth, evening activities can be organized. Things like going for a walk, or visiting Leuven are perfect for the location!

Project hosted by

De Plek Werchter

At De Plek, it is committed to sustainable, small-scale organic farming, growing vegetables with respect for nature and the climate. By working bio-intensively, it is able to offer a wide variety of high-quality vegetables on a small piece of land, with minimal impact on the earth. It believes in the power of healthy and fair agriculture that is not only good for nature, but also for the people who work the land and enjoy its products.

Its mission is to create a community where connection, learning, and collaboration are central. It aims to develop De Plek into a unifying force in the region — a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to work, learn, and grow. It does this by organizing cooking workshops, providing a platform for social interaction, and involving volunteers and people with disabilities who are looking for meaningful daytime activities.

By continuing to invest in the project, it seeks to expand its impact. It aims to organize activities that further strengthen its role as a place of connection and inspiration.

At De Plek, it works towards a resilient future, where sustainable agriculture, social engagement, and community building go hand in hand.

Directions to meeting point

The volunteer will travel from Brussels airport to Leuven station. This is a direct train that takes about 25 minutes. From Leuven they can take a direct train to Haacht train station, here they will get picked up by the project.

Work

The parents' association "l'Enfance de l'Art" from the school “l’Ecole de la Providence” in Templeuve is appealing to international volunteers to help renovate the school buildings. The school is housed in the former premises of a convent and its boarding school. From an international workcamp to another, the buildings and outdoor spaces are being refurbished to create an increasingly welcoming environment that supports the school's educational mission.
The volunteers will renovate a room intended to become a woodworking workshop. To do this, they will learn about lime plastering, which they will use to insulate the room's interior walls.
They will also carry out dismantling and demolition work in the building that will house the kindergarten in the future.
Finally, they may be asked to perform other small renovation and improvement tasks in the classrooms and outdoors.
The parents also want to introduce the volunteers to their community of parents involved in their children's school. They will supervise the volunteers in their tasks (some of them are construction professionals). They will also share lunch with the volunteers. So, get-togethers, sharing, and good cheer are on the agenda!

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will be housed in basic shared rooms within the school. They will have access to showers and toilets, and will be able to use the washing machine occasionally.
Lunch will be prepared by the parents' association in large quantities so that volunteers can eat leftovers for dinner. Occasionally, volunteers will cook in the evenings. Please inform us in advance of any specific diet so we can organize the initial shopping.

Location and leisure

The school is located in Templeuve, near Tournai, in the western part of French-speaking Belgium. From Tournai, it's possible to reach Lille (France) by train in half an hour, Brussels and Ghent (Belgium) in one hour, and Bruges and the North Sea in two hours. Many weekend excursions are therefore possible.
But there are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy in Templeuve. The school has a ping-pong table, basketball hoops, a soccer field, … Volunteers will also have bicycles available for exploring the surrounding area. Finally, on both Friday evenings of the workcamp, the parents will organize a BBQ and a little party for the volunteers.

Project hosted by

The school “l’Ecole de la Providence” is an alternative pedagogy school – based on the Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy – that welcomes children from preschool to primary school. Here, there is no place for competition or grades; the teaching offered is based on the principles of freedom, trust, and enthusiasm, focuses on each child as an individual, and aims to enable them to develop their full potential.
The school's project is led by its parents' association, organized as a non-profit organization called "l’Enfance de l'Art" (Childhood of Art); the parents are indeed deeply involved in the school's daily life.

Project hosted by

Esperanzah! is a festival that has been offering a varied programme of well-known and lesser-known artists since 2002. It takes place at Floreffe Abbey, between Charleroi and Namur in Belgium. It is organised by the Zah! Cooperative.



Esperanzah! Is a musical, festive and committed experience. As you enter the festival site, you wiill discover Esperanzah Island! You will have the chance to enjoy 7 musical stages and/or spaces dedicated to the street arts. The festival is designed for everyone, from the very young (children's village) to the very old.

Discover the world and take a tasty trip to the Comptoir des Saveurs, or make new connections by meeting the craftspeople and designers at Baz'Art.



The Esperanzah! festival is founded on strong values and principles of good conduct. They guide every aspect of the event.

Our aim has always been to celebrate artistic and cultural diversity while working towards a positive social, political and environmental impact. Social inequality and exclusion, poverty, discrimination and environmental damage are issues that we fight against in every choice we make.

Through collective spaces for reflection and exchange, we explore new perspectives on society. We encourage a society that is more respectful of the environment, more supportive, fairer, feminist, anti-capitalist, inclusive and anti-racist.

We want our values to be embraced by everyone involved, whether they are part of the organising team, festival-goers, artists, external service providers or volunteers.
