The "sentier des Moines" (monks' path) winds along the hillside below the chapel; it is supported by dry stone retaining walls and has a stone-covered path, called a "calade" in southeast France. This year, it is a portion of the alley of Fusains which joins the path of the Monks. The goal is to rehabilitate the alley in dry stone in order to restore its initial aspect.
The following work will be undertaken : fishing and sorting of stones, earthwork and construction of the calade according to the very precise technique of dry stone construction (theoretical and practical contribution).
The workcamp will be supervised by a professional in dry stone construction techniques. A daily work of 6 hours is planned, the organization of the days will be discussed and decided by the group of participants.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in individual tents next to the municipal gymnasium of the small town (1km from the workcamp site, walking distance). A team of animators will be present to accompany you in the organization of the collective life: planning of the household tasks, elaboration of the menus and preparation of the meals in turn (vegetarian, vegan and other specific diets possible), organization of the leisure activities and the outings. The purchase of local products is widely favored. Bring a mattress, a warm sleeping bag and a pillow.

Lage und Freizeit

Serres (05700) is a small town nestled between the Alps and the Provence (30 km North of Sisteron, 140 km South of Grenoble).

Leisure activities: You can discover many major sites in the south of the Hautes-Alpes: Aujour mountain and Clausonne abbey, Saint-Genis mountain, the Méouge gorges, Orpierre site, the Riou lake where you can practice many sports activities (climbing, mountain biking, hiking, swimming in lakes and rivers).

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Come and discover one of the small perched towns in the South of France, Serres in the Alps, which offers a magnificent panorama of the medium mountain range of the Baronnies Provençales ! The town, leaning against the Pignolette rock, is made up of small shady medieval streets and covered and sloping passages in which it is good to stroll. At the top of this village and at the bend in the monks' path, is the chapel of Notre Dame de Bon Secours, which overlooks the Buëch valley. This building was erected in 1730 and blessed in 1732. Partly dug into the rock, it marries the hillside, on the presumed site of the former chapel of the castle of Serres.

The municipality wishes to maintain its paths for the pleasure of hikers. Discover the rich heritage of the town, with its archaeological oppidum, its “capitelles” (huts made of dry stones) and old dry stone walls, and its calades. Your work will consist of enhancing the site by carrying out small-scale landscaping work, clearing undergrowth and making small improvements to the existing calade. This work is therefore essential to maintain the path while allowing visitors, walkers and the curious people of all horizons to come and discover this rich heritage!

Dare to be in the mountains... the high mountains! In the heart of the Mercantour National Park, at an altitude of 2200m, lies the magnificent Sanguinière hut. Built over a hundred years ago from dry stone, this hut was used to shelter shepherds. Now out of use, it will be the focus of this original and unforgettable project. For those who love the mountains, outdoor life and evenings under the stars, for sports enthusiasts, for those who want to learn to live with the bare minimum... dare to go to the mountains!

You will be leading the restoration of the pastoral hut, at altitude, using traditional techniques (dry stone) for the walls and the construction of the larch under-roof. The technical aspects of this project, as well as life in the mountains, require you to be in good physical shape.
Our aim with this project is to return to the origins of international work camps for young volunteers. The location is exceptional, and life in the mountains is unforgettable. It's a unique project that has been organised by several partners.

Taking part in this work camp requires you to be physically and mentally fit enough to: climb the mountain with a lot of weight (your bags, food, tent), live in the high mountains with the bare minimum (no internet), swim in high mountain lakes, respect nature (flora and fauna), sleep in a tent, take part in the restoration of a dry stone pastoral hut, hike back down to the village (1h30min walk each way).You will be asked to provide a letter of motivation for taking part, in which you can describe your experience and/or your desire to take part in this type of project.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation during the week will be in individual tents, in the high mountains (2200m altitude). You will set up the tents and your bags on foot (1h30min walk).Cooking will take place in a hut close to the Sanguinière hut, where a gas cooker and (rustic) cooking equipment are installed. The toilets will be dry and the showers solar-powered.

Weekend accommodation will be in the village hall, which is a hard-standing building (very large single room, mattresses on the floor). There will be solid sanitary facilities and a well-equipped kitchen.

You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders and you will help with the shopping and meal preparation, giving priority to healthy, local produce.

Lage und Freizeit

Saint Pons is a very small commune in the Alps (Ubaye), just a few kilometres from Italy. Backing onto the border with the Italian Piedmont, with which it shares almost 33km of ridges, the Mercantour massif is the last promontory of the Alpine arc to the south, before it plunges abruptly into the Mediterranean Sea. From the summit of Gélas, the highest peak in the Mercantour at 3,143 m, you're just 50 km from the sea as the crow flies!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The commune of Saint Pons, which is very active in mobilising its young people and protecting the mountains, together with the Mercantour National Park, is hosting this first youth work camp in 2024 to restore the La Sanguinière pastoral hut (2200m). It is important to respect the rules of life in the high mountains, so as not to disturb the fauna and flora present.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is at Barcelonnette station in the late afternoon of 26/06. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the route map, which will be sent no later than 4 weeks before the start of the project. As the journey from Paris is very long, we will be able to accommodate your travel arrangements.

Weitere Infos

With the help of a professional for the half of the time the volunteers will extend a dry stone wall built in the previous workcamp by international volunteers in order to separate the garden itself from the part of the field developed as relaxation area with tables and benches in wood.
The rest of the time is dedicated to gardening tasks (watering, clearing, planting, transplanting, cleaning, etc.) in the CBB gardens as well as in other gardens shared near other associations on Marche en Famenne (Jardin des Petits Pots, Maison de la Culture, etc.).
This project is another step forward in our idea to create a “green space” for young people for learning about gardening, permaculture, biodiversity, for meeting, for having outdoor activities, … but also to create more links with other local associations that develop environmental projects.
BEWARE: This workcamp is based on manual and outdoor tasks which might be sometimes hard.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The accommodation is in a boarding school (Saint François complex): a corridor with double rooms; the toilets and showers are on the same floor with also a small kitchenette for enjoying a coffee or tea in peace. No smoking inside. A large common area is also available for indoor activities.
You will cook your own meals, so bring your recipes to enjoy the ‘kitchen life’!
PLEASE NOTE: you will share the kitchen and living spaces with the youth exchange group (26 young people) that will take place at the same time as this project. So expect a great experience of community life, sharing, intercultural encounters, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

Marche-en-Famenne is a city in the countryside and it is also CBB’s town! You can find everything there: schools, supermarkets, industries… But still, it is surrounded by woods, fields and small villages where the life rhythm remains rural. Liège, Namur, Brussels and Luxembourg can be easily reached by train in about one hour.
For more information see: www.marche.be

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

At the end of 2020, CBB received the management of a plot of land of around 20 acres, near the center of Marche-en-Famenne, in order to work on the theme of ecological transition and responsible consumption while creating activities that encourage the meeting of small groups of young people.
We developed the plot into a garden, where we lead workshops (discovery of permaculture, construction of nest boxes, insect hotels, vegetable beds, etc.) and cultivate useful resources for young people who invest in our activities.
We want our garden to become a place of meeting and (bio)diversity. It will live and evolve thanks to the interaction of the young people involved. Above all, our garden must allow us to cultivate social ties, such as sustainable and inclusive practices between more or less vulnerable young people, with or without disabilities.
Your help will ensure the renovation and improvement of the rural landscape of Marche-en-Famenne (UN SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, UN SDG 15 Life on land).

The main aim of this workcamp will be to create ponds to host pockets of biodiversity on the REV association site. You will build these spaces with the advice of professionals from the Cévennes National Park. You'll create the spaces needed to hold the water (depth, width, tarpaulins, etc.) and plant the first plants needed to welcome amphibians and reptiles, for whom the pond is part of their natural habitat. You will work 25h/week.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The workcamp will take place in a particularly isolated area, where you will be accommodated on the REV site in individual tents (remember to bring your sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. What's more, if weather conditions deteriorate too much for camping, a shelter a few meters away will be available. Meals will be provided and prepared in turn by participants.

Lage und Freizeit

The project will take place in the southern part of Mont-Lozère, the nearest town is Mende (48000).

Leisure activities : Far from the French metropolises, Lozère is nonetheless a very dynamic region. The region's activities revolve around local festivities, concerts and unspoilt natural areas (mountains, rivers, forests). Shaped by erosion, this territory is criss-crossed by several watercourses, geological formations such as the causses and numerous forests of many species. A wide variety of flora and fauna have been preserved here thanks to the low human density of recent centuries.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The workcamp will take place at the REV's permanent home, a former vacation camp at an altitude of 1,200m. The site is located at the foot of Mont-Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes. The REV took over the site in the spring of 2022, and wants it to become a place of welcome, exchange and encounter. This project will be part of the transformation of the colony into a place where people, fauna and flora live together in harmony. This project invites you to reflect on the role and place of amphibians in the ecosystem of biodiversity, and more particularly on the question of their preservation. It will also be a great opportunity to create and expand your ecological awareness by participating in and creating these ponds, spaces of biodiversity.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

You should arrive at Génolhac train station on Wednesday 3rd July between 4pm and 6pm. If you arrive the day before, you'll need to arrange your own accommodation.

Are you a nature and biodiversity lover? This workcamp is made for you!
This workcamp is the result of a partnership between the Concordia and Echologia associations, located in Louverne. Echologia is a real oasis of nature and promotes strong ecological values. With more than 70 hectares of land, it has an exceptional eco-tourist site at the gates of Laval, the capital of the Mayenne region (in western France).
For this first year of partnership, you will be based at the foot of an old lime furnace. You will continue the construction of a part of the low walls: staking of the mortar, repointing with lime mortar (masonry technique used for old buildings). These walls will become a filtering waterfall for aquaponics. In a few words, aquaponics is the fusion of 2 techniques, aquaculture and hydroponics, which allows plants and aquatic animals to live together in perfect harmony in a closed system. This system works as a virtuous circle, ecological and healthy to produce vegetables, flowers and fruits. You will learn more on site!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat), and will be directly connected with nature. The kitchen and the living space will be set up in a room near the camp.The dry toilets and showers are close to the camp. Volunteers will be able to share their internet connection or use the wifi available at certain locations on the worksite. Laundry will be done by hand. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare the meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals, by privileging healthy and local products, and you can exchange your recipes if you wish. You will also be able to eat organic and seasonal fruits and vegetables, produced directly by Echologia and their aquaponics system.

Please note that this site receives weddings on weekends. Therefore, some parts of the site will be privatised for these events. You will not have access to the showers on Saturday to Sunday’s morning. However, water points are still available. Apart from that, the park is very vast so you will not be disturbed by the noise.

Lage und Freizeit

Echologia is located in Louverne, a small village of about 5,000 inhabitants at the gates of Laval, in Mayenne (1h30 from Paris by train and 10min from Laval by car).
This site is an opportunity to take full advantage of the exceptional setting in the heart of nature. You will have access to educational workshops involving the thematics of water, animals, the environment, but also aquaponics, Echologia's main activity!
You will have access to different activities on site: swimming, archery, hiking, etc. Moreover, the site is located a few kilometres away from a leisure centre, accessible on foot, where you can swim!
Please note that the swimming pool and archery will not be accessible on weekends during weddings.
More information on the site: https://echologia.com/

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Echologia is built on the site of former lime quarries, closed in 1963. Abandoned for 50 years, nature took over and transformed it into an exceptional site full of unexpected treasures.
This site is now entirely rehabilitated thanks to the work of a team of enthusiasts. Based on a co-construction approach, each tourist who passes by can contribute to the building by participating, at his or her own level, to the expansion of the site. For many years, Echologia has been organising workshops or mini-building sites with different schools or social structures. Thanks to this partnership between Echologia and Concordia, it is the first time that the site will welcome a group of international youth for a workcamp.

Echologia's approach is proactive and cohesive with their strong ecological values. The development of the site is respectful of the environment and heritage in the principle of sustainable development. It is also the first aquaponics training centre in France.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is fixed at the end of the afternoon at the Louverné (53) train station on the 3rd of July.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Terre des hommes (Tdh), a prominent Swiss organization dedicated to aiding children in need, is collaborating with the Egyesek Youth Association to organize summer programs for refugee children in Budapest and Győr, Hungary. The project aims to support the successful integration, well-being, and prospects of refugee children and young individuals under 25 from Ukraine in Hungary, by providing opportunities for refugee and local disadvantaged children and young people to participate in new types of educational and skills development programmes using digital technologies. These activities take place in the Resilience Innovation Facilities (RIF). RIFs are first and foremost, spaces where children and young people can feel safe and secure, no matter where they come from or what their background. In addition to providing a safe space, RIFs offer a variety of skill-building workshops in Ukrainian and/or Hungarian. During these workshops, children and young people create and learn, using various digital technologies (2D/3D design, 3D printing, laser cutting, sticker making, etc.).
