This season, we have secured a partnership with Beniconnect, a transport company that will provide direct transfers for volunteers attending TEEN workcamps in Alicante province. Participants will be picked up directly from the airport arrivals and taken to the workcamp location in a private minibus (8 to 14 people per group).

In previous years, transportation has been a significant challenge, as public connections to the locations where our workcamps take place are not very reliable. We believe that this new solution will make the journey much smoother, safer, and more comfortable for everyone.

Work

La ville de Saint-Mihiel organise des chantiers de bénévoles pour restaurer des murs et murets en pierre-sèche, qui ont été reconstruits trop vite et peu durablement après les Guerres Mondiales. Pourtant, ils font le charme de la ville et représentent aussi des refuges importants pour la biodiversité (insectes et oiseaux viennent s'y installer). Aujourd'hui, l'ensemble est inscrit au titre de zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique et sa protection est assurée par l'Etat.
La mission consiste à restaurer les murs et murets de la Promenade des Capucins, au nord de Saint-Mihiel, afin de leur redonner leur aspect originel et sécuriser les chemins. Sur les murs maçonnés, les bénévoles devront enlever l'ancien mortier, réparer fissures et trous, et appliquer un nouvel enduit à la chaux. Ils rehausseront les murs et poseront des couvertines (enduit ou tuiles) qui permettront de protéger durablement les murs. Pour les murs en pierre-sèche, il faudra démonter et trier les pierres, parfois les retailler, et surtout les assembler avec soin en vérifiant leur stabilité. Le travail se fera en équipe, guidé par un professionnel qui transmettra les techniques traditionnelles de maçonnerie. Attendez-vous à un travail parfois physique, incluant la manipulation de pierres et l’application de mortier. Certaines tâches se dérouleront en hauteur. En période de forte chaleur, les travaux se limiteront aux matinées.

The town of Saint-Mihiel organises volunteering workcamps to restore dry-stone walls and small stone structures that were rebuilt too quickly and unsustainably after the World Wars. They add to the town's charm and serve as important refuges for biodiversity, providing homes for insects and birds. Today, the entire area is recognised as a natural zone of ecological interest, and its protection is ensured by the state.
The mission involves restoring the walls and small stone structures of the Promenade des Capucins, located to the north of Saint-Mihiel, in order to return them to their original appearance and secure the pathways. For the masonry walls, volunteers will need to remove the old mortar, repair cracks and holes, and apply a new lime plaster. They will also raise the walls and install coping stones (plaster or tiles) to protect the walls in the long term.
For the dry-stone walls, volunteers will dismantle and sort the stones, sometimes reshaping them, and most importantly, carefully reassemble them while ensuring their stability. The work will be done in teams, guided by a professional who will teach traditional masonry techniques
Be prepared for physically demanding work, which will include handling stones and applying mortar. Some tasks will take place at height. During periods of intense heat, work will be limited to the mornings.

Accomodation and food

Les bénévoles logent à la Base de Loisirs de Saint-Mihiel, située à 20min à pied de la Promenade des Capucins. Ils partagent les lieux avec un centre de loisirs local, et des vacanciers installés en caravane ou en tentes aux alentours. Les espaces dédiés aux bénévoles du chantier sont privatisés.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les volontaires 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 !

Volunteers are accommodated at the Saint-Mihiel Leisure Center, located 20 minutes on foot from the Promenade des Capucins. They share the space with a local recreation center and vacationers staying in caravans or tents nearby. The areas dedicated to the project volunteers are privatised for their use.
Beyond the 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 organization!

Project hosted by

Nestling in a lush green valley, the commune of St Amand de Coly lies at the heart of the Périgord Noir, an area rich in history! Made up of two former communes that decided to merge into one, we’ll be working to unite these formerly separate areas into a single one. The ruins of the abbey castle at Coly bear witness to the valley's rich past, preserving some fine architectural features (bread oven, vaulted room, etc.) and revealing some wonderful secrets. The abbey of St Amand is proof of the power of the church in this area throughout the Middle Ages.
After a number of excavations at the castle, this year we have reached the layers of archaeological interest. Festivals, night markets, and village fairs will punctuate the summer.
You’ll discover the welcoming nature of the local people and the charm of the countryside and heritage, as you organise your programme of activities with the other volunteers, the other groups hosted, and the organisers.

Work

L’École du Breuil, école horticole de Paris, est implantée dans les jardins publics de la ville. L’an dernier, des bénévoles ont réalisé des relevés de faune et de flore pour enrichir les données de l’école et initier les visiteur·se·s aux sciences participatives. Cette année, l’objectif est de fabriquer un mur de nichoirs adaptés aux espèces locales, afin de favoriser la biodiversité et d’encourager l’observation des oiseaux.
As-tu déjà entendu parler des sciences participatives ? Cette année, tu partiras à la recherche des oiseaux du jardin, mais pas n'importe comment ! Pierre-Yves, notre animateur technique, accompagné des jardiniers du parc, te guidera à travers les protocoles d'observation. L’objectif : construire des nichoirs adaptés aux espèces recensées, en déterminant les dimensions idéales, puis en passant à la découpe et à l’assemblage du bois. Ces nichoirs deviendront aussi un support pédagogique pour les élèves et visiteur·se·s. Un second chantier consistera à créer des éléments en tressage végétal et des installations en bois pour enrichir l’espace de classe extérieure et le relier au mur de nichoirs par un chemin "végétal". Ces temps de chantier, menés aux côtés de passionnés de faune et de flore, seront aussi l’occasion d’échanger autour de la gestion écologique des espaces naturels et des principes de permaculture.

École du Breuil, a horticultural school in Paris, is located within the city's public gardens. Last year, volunteers conducted fauna and flora surveys to enrich the school's data and introduce visitors to citizen science. This year, the goal is to build a birdhouse wall tailored to local species, to promote biodiversity and encourage birdwatching.
Have you ever heard of citizen science? This year, you'll be searching for the garden's birds, but not just any way! Pierre-Yves, our technical facilitator, along with the park's gardeners, will guide you through the observation protocols. The goal: to build birdhouses tailored to the recorded species, by determining the ideal dimensions, then cutting and assembling the wood. These birdhouses will also serve as educational tools for students and visitors. A second project will involve creating woven plant elements and wooden installations to enrich the outdoor classroom space and link it to the birdhouse wall via a "vegetal" path. These work sessions, alongside passionate experts in fauna and flora, will also provide an opportunity to exchange ideas about the ecological management of natural spaces and the principles of permaculture.

Accomodation and food

Les bénévoles dormiront sous tentes individuelles, au sein du parc de l'école du Breuil. Ils auront accès à des espaces de vie collective proche du campement : cuisine extérieure, foyer des élèves (avec espace détente, babyfoot, table de ping pong), douches et sanitaires.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les volontaires 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 !

Volunteers will sleep in individual tents, within the École du Breuil park. They will have access to communal living spaces near the campsite: outdoor kitchen, students' lounge (with a relaxation area, foosball, ping pong table), showers, and toilets.
Beyond the 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 organization!

Work

This summer workcamp in Penáguila invites motivated teens to contribute to the recovery of the local natural and cultural heritage. After a recent fire damaged part of the Phytoclimatic Route leading to the historic Jardín de Santos, volunteers will help restore this unique botanical area through tasks such as gardening, environmental clean-up, painting, manual restoration, and replanting.

In addition, participants will support the local museum, help with maintenance tasks, and engage in creative work to beautify public spaces. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to connect with the community by organizing a weekly visit to a local senior center, sharing moments and activities with the elderly.

The project is coordinated in close collaboration with the Penáguila Town Hall, so tasks may also include other helpful activities according to the town’s needs. This workcamp offers a meaningful and hands-on way to make a difference, learn new skills, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this charming mountain village.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will stay in a basic apartment with bunk beds, a kitchen, and bathrooms. The apartment also has access to a pool for relaxing during free time.

Food will be provided by De Amicitia. Volunteers will have the opportunity to cook together with the campleaders, creating meals as a team.

Location and leisure

Tucked away in the heart of the Alicante mountains, Penàguila is a small but enchanting village that offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and tranquility. Surrounded by olive trees, almond groves, and pine forests, it provides an ideal setting for volunteers looking to disconnect from the fast-paced city life and immerse themselves in authentic rural Spain.

Penàguila is known for its rich historical heritage, featuring a charming old town with narrow cobblestone streets, stone houses, and remnants of medieval walls. It’s a peaceful and welcoming community where locals live at a slower pace, and nature is just a few steps away.

One of the highlights of the village is the Jardín de Santos, a 19th-century botanical garden that once flourished with exotic species and romantic pathways. Although partially damaged by a recent fire, it remains a symbol of local pride and will be the focus of restoration during the volunteer project.

For leisure, volunteers can enjoy:

Nature walks and hiking through the Phytoclimatic Route, which connects the village to the botanical garden and offers stunning views of the surrounding valley.

Cultural visits to the local museum, which showcases the village's agricultural and historical past.

A trip to the nearby Safari Aitana, a drive-through animal park with giraffes, elephants, and lions.

Weekly intergenerational visits to the local senior center, promoting cultural exchange and community bonding.

Volunteers will find Penàguila to be a place where they can connect with nature, engage with the local community, and contribute to a meaningful environmental project—all while enjoying the serene beauty and simple joys of rural Mediterranean life.

Project hosted by

Penáguila Town Hall

Work

Discover a trail where nature and heritage come together – and help bring it back to life!
After the success of several restoration projects, a new challenge awaits you: renovating a hiking trail along the Oise River, serving as a vital link between two towns. This project is particularly significant, not only for its environmental impact but also for its role in bringing communities together and showcasing the local heritage.

Building on past initiatives, you will take part in several key tasks to restore and improve access to the trail. The work will include pruning trees and shrubs blocking the path, removing invasive plant species to protect local biodiversity, clearing overgrown areas, and improving the trail’s accessibility. Additionally, you will help design and install educational panels to provide hikers with insights into the site’s history and natural treasures.

Accomodation and food

Your accommodation will be located in the garden of the "Maison pour Tous Nelson-Mandela", a bourgeois-style house from the end of the 19th century, which hosts the communal music workshops, exhibitions as well as cultural and leisure associations.

The group will have access to the kitchen of this house. You will sleep under individual tents. Large tents will be installed for the collective life. The infrastructures of the municipal stadium (300 metres away) will offer access to showers with a separation between girls and boys. You will share the various collective chores and prepare meals together, prioritising vegetarian meals and local products from the market.

Location and leisure

Saint-Maximin (3 000 inhabitants) is located in the department of Oise, 70km from Paris. The region has a rich historical heritage that you can discover nearby: The Chantilly Castle, the Compiegne Imperial Palace or the Pierrefonds Castle. Each year, in addition to outings, leisure activities are scheduled (St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre, swimming pool...).

Activities are planned with the youth service of the town to include you in the activities planned during the summer like the July 14th celebrations and meetings with the local population.

Project hosted by

The small town of Saint-Maximin, nestled at the heart of the stone quarries of the South of Oise, has an uncommon cultural heritage (troglodyte houses, old open-air quarries, mushroom beds, etc.) that it promotes in its museum "La Maison de la Pierre".

Today, there are still five stone quarries in use in Saint-Maximin. The stone extracted from them is mainly used for the restoration of historical monuments (Paris City Hall or the Arc de Triomphe). The quarries of Saint-Maximin also provide the clay used for the tennis courts of Roland-Garros. An initiation to stone cutting is planned during your stay!

Directions to meeting point

The meeting is planned at the CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX train station on July 09 at the end of the day. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the info sheet, sent at least 4 weeks before the beginning of the workcamp.

From PARIS, regular trains leave from the Gare du Nord train station for CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX (30-minute trip).

The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/

If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress-free travel.
Whenever possible, use low-carbon transport solutions to get to the site: trains rather than planes, public transport rather than private cars.

Additional comments

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as tight shoes. As the accommodation is under tents, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a floor mat or a camping mattress for more comfort.

Don't forget your bathing suit in case you are going to swim in the pool or at the St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre. You can also bring back specialities from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this workcamp, either with the local population or with the group!

Requirements

Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

Don’t forget to send us your Medical Factsheet and Parental Authorization at least one month before the beginning of the workcamp.

Discover the Ramparts of Péronne and Take Part in Their Restoration!

Nestled in the heart of the Somme region, the town of Péronne boasts a rich historical heritage, a testament to its strategic past.

Alongside this, you will also assist in installing a new fence along the ramparts to protect and secure the site.

Guided by heritage professionals, you will gain hands-on experience in restoration techniques while playing an active role in safeguarding this historic landmark. By collaborating with the municipality and local residents, you will help bring new life to the ramparts while enjoying a rewarding collective experience. A unique adventure blending heritage, engagement, and intercultural exchange!

Work

This year, the city of Pont-du-Château will host its sixteenth International Workcamp. Take part in this great project to restore the terraced gardens, which are gradually being transformed into an ecological place for walking, relaxing and discovering the landscape.

The 3-hectare site includes an eco-pasture, terraced gardens, a small orchard, a community vineyard and a play and relaxation area. This year, the city of Pont-du-Château has asked us to embellish the vineyard site : lime plasters, DIY supports for climbing plants and restoration of a Volvic stone stairway are on schedule.
The Workcamp will also have a strong environmental scope, and actions will be carried out around the biodiversity theme : small wildlife shelters, clean walks, debates and animations on environmental issues, etc.

You want to learn a variety of skills from masonry to carpentry, and carry out activities to support the local biodiversity ? You want to discover a village in the Auvergne region, in a relaxing natural setting? This project is for you!

Accomodation and food

Two group leaders will accompany you during your stay.

The accommodation will be situated on a municipal site located near the workcamp. You will sleep in individual tents (provided by Concordia) set up in the grass. Changing rooms and sanitary facilities are in the municipal center, collective life and kitchen under a large tent reserved for your group. WIFI is available on site. Laundry will be hand-washed or in a laundromat in town (for a fee).
The group will be sharing the different collective tasks together. The budget will be allocated to the group leaders and you will participate in the preparation of meals, run errands from the market and local producers.

Location and leisure

Pont-du-Château is a lively town which overlooks the river Allier. Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of the region, is only 15km away and can be reached by train or bus. The castle is in the heart of the city and offers a remarkable view over the agglomeration of Clermont-Ferrand and the Auvergne volcanoes.
You will be welcomed by local organizations who will offer you activities to do during your leisure time: kayaking, hiking, swimming, learning how to play the popular ball game called “petanque”, team sports, etc.

Local celebrations, meals with the inhabitants and the discovery of the region will be on your schedule, as well as the party organized at the end of the workcamp!

Project hosted by

Pont-du-Château wishes to bring nature into the city through sustainable management and creation of natural areas. Former terraced gardens have been gradually redeveloped and turned into ecological gardens by international volunteers. New works are planned, with the aim of enhancing the vineyard with the creation of a barrel, the development of the southern terrace offering a beautiful view over the whole valley and the creation of a green theatre.

This sixteenth workcamp in Pont-du-Château is part of this major landscaping project.

Work

Who has never dreamt of being in the dressing room of a theatre? We're offering you the chance to immerse yourself in the Jacques Cœur theatre in the beautiful town of Lattes!

Your job will be to enhance the theatre: you'll be helping to refurbish the dressing rooms, including plastering, painting and decorating. You'll also be making frames to showcase the theatre's annual programme posters.

You'll also have the privilege of maintaining, cleaning and checking the stage equipment under the supervision of the theatre's official stage manager.

You'll also be renovating benches in the courtyard. It's a great programme of manual and artistic activities to give the town's theatre a new lease of life!

Accomodation and food

You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and duvet) and live together in a municipal room provided for the group. You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders and you will participate in the shopping and preparation of meals, favouring healthy, vegetarian and local products.

Location and leisure

The town of Lattes is located near Montpellier airport and the Sud de France train station, between the town and the beach. It has a number of assets, including its proximity to the city, which is accessible by tram, and its natural areas, ponds, walking trails and cultural attractions. Modern and dynamic, it is home to many companies that have chosen it for its centrality and undeniable assets.
You'll be able to take part in a wide range of leisure activities and discover the area, and meet local young people on a daily basis. You can also take part in theatre workshops with local professionals!

Project hosted by

Lattes is a dynamic, modern town in the Montpellier metropolitan area. The town attracts many tourists in the summer thanks to its proximity to the beaches of Palavas and Carnon and the city of Montpellier, which is accessible by tram. This is our third project with this local authority, which is keen to continue its dynamic partnership with a project bringing together local and international young people.

You'll be able to take advantage of the outdoor activities on offer in the commune, as well as the festivities organised during this period. It's definitely a great project !
