Arbeit

Take part in the construction of a sensory pathway at the Foyer d'accueil médicalisé (FAM) La Fontaine in Gien (45), which provides permanent accommodation for people with disabilities. As well as the technical aspects, this project will be a great human experience, as you will be living in contact with the local residents and will have the opportunity to share moments together.
This work camp takes part of a project to develop the outside areas requested by the ADAPEI 45 association, which administers the site. The new facility will help residents to develop their relationship with the outside environment in all its dimensions, as well as improving their self-confidence and motor skills.
Your job will be to carry out the preparatory work (laying out the ground), build a vast wooden structure, and then install the various elements making up the sensory trail, to the delight of the residents and care assistants living on site all year round.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be hosted directly on the site. You will have an individual tent outside. An indoor area will also be available for you to organize activities or retreat in case of bad weather. You will have access to sanitary facilities and showers. A kitchen will also allow you to prepare your meals. In collaboration with the animation team, you will participate in the shopping and cooking. Following an eco-friendly approach, you will be invited to use local and seasonal products. By the way, feel free to come with your own recipes, it's a great opportunity to share your history and culture with the group. A washing machine or laundromat will be available from time to time (preferably allow 3 weeks for laundry). Wifi will be available on site or shared with the French volunteers and the activities team.

Lage und Freizeit

The town of Gien (45) is located 150 kilometers south of Paris, in an area renowned for its large forests and farmland. The area has a rich history. As well as its well known castle, now transformed into a museum, you’ll be able to discover a local specialty in the “Musée de la faïencerie”, which houses a unique collection of earthenware pieces made in the local workshops since 1821. The banks of the Loire are also a great place to take a stroll in your free time. A lot of activities are proposed there in summer. Feel free to explore the region's architectural gems, such as the famous Briare canal-bridge and the castle in Sully-sur-Loire. Paris will also be reachable by train.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The ADAPEI 45 association was founded in 1959 by a group of parents and professionals who wanted to promote the specific needs of intellectually disabled children. Since then, the association has grown considerably. It now provides moral and material support to people with disabilities (intellectual, multiple disabilities, autism, etc.), their families and carers. To this end, it administers different sites that offer all kinds of adapted solutions to live or work. The association also develops a spirit of mutual aid and solidarity through its community initiatives. Meetings with the residents of FAM La Fontaine will be organized to give you an enriching human experience.

The volunteers will give a hand, new inspiration and ideas to the centre’s animation team.
They will be required to get actively involved in the daily life of the centre.
For most of their time, volunteers will propose and plan activities for children between 3 and 6 years old. According to the population currently present in the centre, activities can be proposed also to teenagers, isolated women... Some example could be: creative and artistic workshops, board games, walking excursions, going to swimming pool, sports and games, movies, cultural visits, …
To a lesser extent and depending on the weather forecast (2 afternoons/week in small group), volunteers will take part in gardening tasks. For example: pickings, planting of seasonal vegetables, storage and cleaning of the site. Recently the centre starts a vegetable garden project with and for the residents.
The management team of the centre is very well used to work with volunteers as they have been hosting this workcamp for many years.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will be lodged in a common room (dormitory) in a building next to the central one. Showers are accessible in the central building. A washing machine is also available.

Lage und Freizeit

Rixensart is located in the Brabant Walloon province, 25 km from Brussels and 7 km from Waver. The zone is highly urbanised and has all the usual conveniences, Rixensart still keeps its countryside charm but one can feel the proximity of Brussels (40 minutes by train, 20 by car). Asylum seekers Centre is located outside the town centre, but at a walking distance from the famous local lake Genval, cinema, shops, supermarkets, train station…

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Rixensart Asylum Seekers Centre accommodates people or families who have asked for asylum in Belgium. Refugees come from Syria, Irak, Iran, Congo etc. Many of them fled from war or from countries that were under a dictatorship or devastated by an ecological disaster. Thus they came to Belgium with dreams of stability, richness and comfort life. It is not, however, that easy to be allowed to settle in Europe, especially for somebody from the South or the East. Before these people may start their new live, their refugee status has to be proven and accepted. While waiting for the document that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the immigrants are accommodated in this centre in the Brussels vicinity.
People living there await the solution concerning their administrative status. They never know what tomorrow may bring to them.
Therefore, residents often found themselves overwhelmed by feelings of relief and anguish, hope and disappointment. The life of Rixensart Asylum Seeker Centre reflects these individual dramas and hopefulness of residents.
Website (available in English): https://www.fedasil.be/en
This project is organized in line with several other volunteering teams hosted in refugees centre in Belgium. It aims to bring a small contribution to the welcoming of the residents as well as to permit the volunteers to learn about and be better aware of the realities of the migration policies.
By volunteering for this project, you are actively helping the centre welcome people coming from a wide variety of difficult situations and take care of them while they are waiting for a response to their asylum request (UN SDG 10 Reduced inequalities).

The Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre hosts people who have asked for international protection in Belgium. These people fled situations of war, persecution, discriminations, environmental disasters…. But before to feel actually established in Belgium and allowed to build their future here, their refugee status has to be proven and accepted through a long administrative process. While waiting for the documents that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the asylum seekers are accommodated in this centre.
People living there await the solution concerning their administrative status. They never know what tomorrow may bring to them.
Therefore, residents often found themselves overwhelmed by feelings of relief and anguish, hope and disappointment. The life of Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre reflects these individual dramas and hopefulness of residents.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

“Overseas” is a non-profit association and NGO set up in Spilamberto (Modena) in 1971 to promote the global development of communities in non-European countries through voluntary work and international cooperation, support for local community organisations and groups, and long-distance solidarity for children and young people in need.
Overseas has always attached great importance to the assumption of lifestyles oriented towards moderation in consumption, solidarity 'without borders' and has made recovery and reuse practices the main way of seeking economic resources for the construction of its facilities.
The work camp takes place at the association's headquarter, which consists of a residential unit and a shed located in a large green area on the outskirts of the village.
Participants will stay in the Overseas House and carry out their service in the facilities and spaces used for the promotion of reusing and recycling and near the Natural Garden 3.0, cultivated according to permaculture methods by people with disabilities and the association “Insieme a noi tutti”.
The participants will have the opportunity to approach experiences that try to promote the culture of sustainability in the dimension of daily life: intercultural living together, moderation of consumption, taking care of the environment and of the community.
At the start of the camp the possible activities will be presented and together with the participants a working plan will be defined according to the attitudes, abilities and the wish to lean new things. Moments of exchange and confrontation about the experiences and the topics of the Agenda 2030 are also planned.
An integral part of the camp is respect for the environment, values, traditions and ways of living in the Overseas House in which other people reside and the association's activities are carried out. An extra dose of empathy, understanding and adaptability is required of everyone in order to experience multicultural dialogue!

In Wohnheim St. Martin there are two living groups/communities and several practice rooms, where the clients (inhabitants of St.Martin) work during the day. Our main task is to offer housing and (re)integration into the society for adults with disabilities. This is done mainly through leisure time activities and by offering a working place. As a volunteer you will support the daily routine at Wohnheim St. Martin, creating leisure time activities for the clients, helping with meal times, accompanying the clients on excursions, etc.
