Work

The Beaumotte Center is a living space where each visiting group is invited to contribute to community life. At the start of this year, we need new volunteers full of energy to share friendly moments and help with meal preparation, join the masonry team, or assist with the upkeep of the center.
If the group of participants includes at least six people, we would like to invite you to combine your energy to help us repaint one of the rooms to better welcome our visitors!

Accomodation and food

You will be accommodated within our association, in a mixed two-level room with a capacity for 12 people. You will sleep in bunk beds. The center will not be able to provide access to a washing machine, so please bring enough clothing for the entire week! Wi-Fi is available at certain times. Meals are prepared by the volunteers in rotating kitchen teams. Bring your best recipes with you!
During the project, please note that you will not be having meat every day. Solidarités Jeunesses aims to reduce meat consumption on construction sites. Let us know if you have any allergies or food restrictions.

Location and leisure

Beaumotte is located in a small rural village where social activities are few. However, this does not mean that volunteers will feel lonely or bored! At any given time, about 30 people live and work at the Center, with many more passing through regularly. Whether in the afternoons or on weekends, your group will initiate and organize leisure activities. Individual preferences, local possibilities (hiking, multi-sport fields, village visits, etc.), and financial resources will influence your choices.

Project hosted by

The Beaumotte Center works towards social and cultural integration by opening its doors to everyone, without distinction. True to its mission, the association promotes active participation from all individuals, creating an environment where living together takes on its full meaning. In a society marked by individualism and consumerism, Beaumotte advocates the idea that every experience, no matter what it is, is a source of wealth and an opportunity to learn. Here, we open up, enrich ourselves, and share practices and knowledge to build a more supportive world. With this in mind.
Beaumotte invites its visitors to overcome the boundaries of socio-cultural differences through collective activities: building walls, sharing recipes from around the world, or painting living spaces in vibrant colors. Together, we cultivate a true community life, with its joys and challenges, where everyone contributes to transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Directions to meeting point

The meeting point will be at 5:30 PM (the train to Besançon Viotte departs from Paris Gare de Lyon at 12:18 PM), at the main entrance of Besançon Viotte train station.

If the group of participants consists of at least six people, we would like to invite you to combine your energies to help us rebuild a small wooden hut that was used to store our garden tools, which was destroyed a year ago due to a storm
