Le projet tournera principalement autour du travail du bois, afin de rendre la grange praticable pour les activités culturelles de l'association qui l'habite. Tu participeras à la construction d'un espace en bois, modulable en fonction des besoins d'accueil. Tu auras l'occasion de scier, poncer, visser, assembler et monter un ilôt original. En plus de ça, la grange aura besoin d'un sol praticable et agréable ; tu auras donc l'occasion d'apprendre à poser un plancher ! Le projet comprend aussi des actions de protection de l'environnement, comme l'entretien d'un ruisseau sur le site. En dehors des temps de chantier, Tu auras l'occasion de participer à de nombreuses activités en nature, comme des randonnées ou des baignades, pour découvrir toute la beauté des paysages locaux.

This project aims to transform an unused space into a welcoming venue for theater groups, musicians, and artists-in-residence. This workcamp may also host people with disabilities, so volunteers are expected to be kind and considerate toward them.
The project will mainly focus on woodwork to make the barn suitable for the cultural activities of the association that lives there. You will take part in building a wooden, modular space that can be adapted to the different needs related to the activities organised. You'll have the chance to saw, sand, screw, assemble, and build a unique wooden structure. Additionally, the barn will need a functional and beautiful floor, so you'll also learn how to lay a wooden floor!

Work

"The Time for Youth" summer camp will consist of the following tasks:
1. At the small youth energy station point, where we organize daily meetings, we expect you to conduct traditional Cultural Evenings for Latvian youth, where you can share about your country, its opportunities, traditions, and interesting facts. You may also participate in some activities to share your personal experiences.
2. Each year, we organize a charity event by going to the fields and forests to pick flowers, oak branches, and other traditional Līgo decorations to create special bouquets and wreaths under the guidance of a specialist. These will then be donated in exchange for contributions to collect funds for the organization "The Time for Youth" and its work with rural region youth, including at-risk youth—street youth.

3. We have a large charity warehouse in the district, where we provide humanitarian aid to Latvian and Ukrainian civilians, but during the summer period, we will move to newer, better-equipped facilities. We need help sorting clothes from more than 1,000 boxes by size and gender, so they can be placed in the appropriate boxes.
About Līgo celebrations: Līgo celebrations are the traditional Jāņi holidays celebrated in Latvia on the night of the summer solstice. These holidays symbolize the time of light, summer, and the flourishing of nature. The main essence of the holiday is to celebrate the return of the sun and fertility. Līgo holidays are associated with various folklore and ritual traditions, such as weaving wreaths from grasses and flowers. A significant part of it is Līgo singing, which includes traditional songs. Eating is another tradition of the holiday, with bread, cheese, and beer served at the table. Many celebrants also watch the sunset and light bonfires. A notable activity is Līgoing during the night, when people dance and sing. It is believed that celebrating helps ensure a good harvest for the following year. Līgo holidays are a clear symbol of community and cultural heritage in Latvia. Līgo is celebrated every year from June 23rd to 24th. You will have the opportunity to experience traditional Līgo - Jāņi in Latvia, creating unforgettable emotions and memories. We will ensure that you have the chance to attend several offered events in the region, including in Riga (the capital of Latvia).

Work

Together we are going to reconstruct a traditional agricultural farm for living archaeology project of the early Middle Ages. In our attempt to make everything the traditional way, and to honor the spirit of the past by preserving its heritage, we avoid using modern tools. The only materials used will be wood, clay, reed, straw and willow rods. Concrete tasks will be:

• the maintenance of gardens and green spaces
• repairing walls and roofs made of clay and reeds
• the construction of a simple wooden shelter

At the same time, there are numerous opportunities for the participants to try out historical craft techniques and gain experience in working with natural building materials.

If there are disruptions during the main work, smaller tasks can also be carried out on the grounds, for example in garden maintenance, building a clay oven or creating wattle fences.

Accomodation and food

For the duration of the project, the Workcamp participants will be accommodated in a flat in the industrial zone of Kirchheim. It is a 120m² 4-room flat with a kitchen and a bathroom in each room. The rooms are each furnished with camp beds. Please bring your own sleeping bag and a pillow if needed. It is also possible to barbecue or cook over an open fire on the grounds of the open-air museum.

The route from the accommodation to the open-air museum is easy to manage on foot or by bus. Food will be purchased using the camp budget, and everyone will take turns cooking and cleaning. To reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage volunteers to consume less meat and try more sustainable dishes.

Location and leisure

The municipality of Kirchheim b. München is located in southeastern Germany (Bavaria) to the east of the state capital in the district of Munich and has excellent public transport connections to the city. Around 14,000 people currently live in the municipal districts of Kirchheim, Heimstetten and Hausen.

All everyday facilities are available locally. You will find several supermarkets, restaurants, bars and bakeries nearby. When the weather is nice, you can spend the day at the Heimstettener See in the immediate vicinity of the Bajuwarenhof.

Munich Central Station is only 20 minutes away by S-Bahn. Other destinations in the foothills of the Alps can be reached by train.

Project hosted by

This project is a collaboration between IBG and the “Bajuwarenhof Kirchheim”. The Bajuwarenhof is described as a ‘project for living archaeology of the early Middle Ages’ and a hands-on archaeological open-air museum that you can interact with.

Since 2003, they have been reconstructing an agricultural farmstead as it would have looked in the 6th to 8th century. The basis for this is formed by archaeological finds and features from the municipal area and the surrounding area. At the centre are several residential and farm buildings and their furnishings. There is also an experimental field and various gardens in which cereals, vegetables, herbs and berries but also flax and various dye plants are cultivated. In this way they convey an impression of daily life in the early Middle Ages with the aim of making current archaeological research findings tangible and enabling the visitors to learn more about the history and archaeology of the region around Munich.

Get an impression on their website: https://www.bajuwarenhof.de/

Directions to meeting point

Meeting point: Please try to arrive between 1pm and 7pm in Kirchheim bei München.

To create a positive impact on the surrounding environment and people living there or simply passing by. Here lie our goals for this future village, which each year, is built thanks to youths who come and contribute, with solidarity as their driving force. Vir'Volt also aims to become fully ecofriendly and sustainable, which is reflected in our campsite; yurts and teepees as rooms, permaculture farming and gardening, water saving projects, reducing and reusing waste. This small village will become great without sacrificing or damaging the surrounding environment, whilst always searching for better and more eco-friendly ways of living.

Work

The aim of this work camp is to help organise the festival by joining the team of volunteers and organisers. As part of a team of volunteers, most of whom are villagers, you'll be helping to set up the site, putting up fences and tents, etc. During the festival, you'll also have the opportunity to attend conferences and welcome visitors. You'll need to speak French to share your time with the public and the organisers. You will work 5 to 6 hours a day, spread over the duration of the stay, in liaison with the festival coordination team.

Accomodation and food

You will sleep in 2-person tents, depending on gender. You will need to bring your own warm duvet and pillow, and we will provide air mattresses. Meals will be prepared in turn by you, in particular for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes, including options for vegetarians and vegans, will be prepared). Meals during the festival will be provided by the organisers.

Location and leisure

One of the aims of this workcamp will be to exchange ideas with young people from the village of Couthures, who are themselves involved in organising the festival. An excellent opportunity to discover the charms of the Lot-et-Garonne, such as the town of Marmande and its many activities and festivities: the tomato capital is ready to welcome you and to unveil its charms, such as the Parc de la Filhole (where the Garorock festival takes place), where you can swim in the river Garonne or take advantage of its nature area. The city is well worth a visit, as are the surrounding communes, such as the Garonne hillsides, its vineyards and wines, and the Canal Latéral. The locals will be delighted to welcome you into their homes for a meal or a chance to chat and discover the region.

Project hosted by

After the resounding success of the first project, the adventure continues! Over the course of a weekend, the International Journalism Festival transforms the small village of Couthures-sur-Garonne (and its 300 inhabitants) into a veritable crossroads for meetings and debates. Workshops, live shows, and screenings bring the village to life around a central theme: news and journalism. At the heart of the event, the international workcamp will enrich the experience with an intercultural dynamic that encourages artistic and intergenerational exchanges. Sponsored by the Le Monde group, this festival, set in an exceptional natural setting, combines reflection, sharing and conviviality.

Directions to meeting point

The meeting point is at Marmande station (47200) on Friday 4th July, between 3 and 4 pm. The organisers will meet you and take you to the village of Couthures-sur-Garonne (47180). All the information you need to get there will be in the project roadmap.

Work

The Robbe are small settlements in the countryside of Milena (CL), from which the present village has grown. At the end of the nineteenth century, the land was leased and, given the great distance from other towns and the difficulty of communication, the peasants built modest rural dwellings in the countryside, along the trazzere or near water sources. These were built in clusters called Robbe to not be isolated and to have access to drinking water. Volunteers will create photo-cultural installations (wooden totems to which they will attach photos and inscribe the name of the Robbe and local iconic features). Other activities related to the urban regeneration of the town of Milena will be carried out by volunteers. From July 11 to 13, they will also support the setup and logistics of a three-day rock music festival, preparing the outdoor area of the Magazzino Culturale and carrying out minor maintenance tasks. The initiative aims to engage the local community through art, music, and culture.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will live in an apartment and sleep in shared rooms with 3-4 beds, divided by gender. The volunteers, divided into groups and working in shifts, will take care of the management and cleaning of the house and the Magazzino, and they will prepare meals in a common kitchen. All meals will be prepared and eaten in a common room in the Magazzino.

Location and leisure

Milena is a small village in the province of Caltanissetta. The village is located in a rural mountainous context at 423 m above sea level. Like most remote Sicilian villages, it is served by a limited number of public transport services, so the organization of free time could be limited to visiting nearby places or organizing excursions out of town.

Project hosted by

Circo pace e bene is a cultural association that carries out activities of various types aimed at the most vulnerable people in the Milena area (children, people with disabilities, young people, the elderly, the unemployed, migrants). The organization mainly carries out artistic and cultural activities and realizes different projects to raise awareness in schools of all levels. The association was founded in 2015 in Milena, Sicily, by a group of local people with experience in volunteering and international mobility. The aim of the association is to encourage locals to be active in order to bring about the changes they want to see. The association represents a breakthrough for the locals and the territory where it is located, through their commitment and support. Its work contributes to the enrichment of the Sicilian culture and territory. The NGO runs a space called Magazzino in Milena, which is used to promote cultural events, festivals, active participation and advocacy.

Project hosted by

Grand Est has been a branch of SJ since October 2021, based in the Bruche Valley – Vosges Alsaciennes. It plans and coordinates various activities such as interculturality workshops, international workcamps, youth exchanges, and local youth projects. Located west of Strasbourg, the branch promotes diverse cultural activities and exchanges.

Would you like to meet other young people aged 17 to 30, from different backgrounds, explore the theme of food in relation to interculturality, ecology and well-being, or experience a human adventure in the middle of the Vosges mountains?

During this project, we'll be organizing a “cooking for all” evening together. The aim of this stay weeks is to reflect on our food practices in an intercultural context. We'll be trying to understand how well-being and a healthy diet that respects the environment and human beings are pillars of a sustainable way of life.

We'll share intercultural recipes and discover new dishes. We'll meet several producers and people who will raise our awareness of these issues and pass on their knowledge. We'll also express our creativity by co-creating a booklet recounting our experiences (recipes, interviews, articles, photos, etc.). It's up to you to build this evening from A to Z, according to your skills and interests. It will be an opportunity to invite local people to taste our intercultural, environmentally-friendly recipes.
It will be a wonderful way to conclude this adventure with all the people who have taken part!

Location and leisure

Area:
Sachsenhausen is a part of Oranienburg, ca. 33 km to the north of Berlin. Sachsenhausen was
one of the earliest concentration camps in Germany, built in 1936. For example, German
people who were in opposition to Nazi policy, homosexuals, so-called asocials, criminals,
Jews, and during the war especially people from occupied countries were imprisoned, forced
to work and a lot of them were murdered. Between 1945 and 1950 a part of this area was used
as a so-called Special Camp of the Soviet Secret Service

Leisure:
Volunteers have to be able to ride a bike, as several shorter and longer bike rides are planned. Bicycles are provided, but helmets are not required. In the free time it's possible to go to Berlin or Potsdam. The volunteers will find many forests and lakes to walk, cycle or just relax. However, the free time activities will mainly depend on participants' ideas.

Project hosted by

The Sachsenhausen Memorial was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany and was built in 1936 near Berlin. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here by the Nazi SS. The prisoners were forced to perform inhumane labor, and thousands died or were murdered. After the liberation in 1945, the Soviet secret service established Special Camp No.7/No.1 on the site for the internment of former Nazi functionaries and political opponents. Today the memorial is a place of remembrance, learning and research.

For this Workcamp it is necessary to have very good English skills as we will get a lot of information about the time of Second World War! ____________________________________________ This project is composed of a volunteering team, supported by the European Solidarity Corps program of the European Union. Compared to the usual workcamp participation scheme, some main financial and administrative differences must be underlined: For Sending Organizations: “Due to high costs and the lack of additional funding, we are unable to cover a sending fee on top of the ESC travel allowance (lump sum based on travel distance) that can be allocated to the sending organization for its volunteers. Unfortunately, this is the only way we can continue to run ESC teams in the capital of Germany.” ATTENTION PLEASE: This project is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en - Volunteers do not have to pay any fee (no sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project - Volunteers need to enroll in the PASS, the European Solidarity Corps Portal; We will organize your matching in the portal with the volunteering project. - Volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of the rate of our country ------ For Sending Organizations: “Due to high costs and the lack of additional funding, we are unable to cover a sending fee on top of the ESC travel allowance (lump sum based on travel distance) that can be allocated to the sending organization for its volunteers. Unfortunately, this is the only way we can continue to run ESC teams in the capital of Germany.

Work

You'll be working to protect the local flora and fauna while enjoying a unique experience combining nature and culture. From 15th to 17th July, you'll be helping to set up the Jazz Festival, and then spending the rest of your stay taking part in ecological actions at the RBC (Municipal Biodiversity Reserve) de la Craie (2.5 km from the campsite). On the programme: creation and restoration of ponds, development of a mudflat, installation of wildlife shelters (nest boxes, bat houses, perches). Your commitment will contribute directly to preserving an ecosystem rich in amphibians, dragonflies, birds and bats.

Accomodation and food

You will sleep in tents for 1 or 2 persons at the Melle municipal campsite. Mattresses will be provided. You must bring your own duvet and pillow. A Tivoli (large arbour) will be available with all amenities (fridge, gas cooker, cooking utensils, etc.). You will have a vehicle at your disposal for any mobility in the region. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you will have a food budget which the leaders will manage and communicate with you throughout the work camp). Meals will be prepared in turn by you, especially for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes will be prepared).

Location and leisure

Melle (79500), department of Deux-Sèvres, 60 km from the sea, between Poitiers and La Rochelle.

At the crossroads of some pretty little villages in the Deux-Sèvres departement, you can take full advantage of the local heritage. Visits to the region will be organised collectively according to your wishes, for example, the silver mines of the kings of France, the cinema, the municipal swimming pool, etc. You can also discover local towns such as Niort and Celles-sur-Belle. Leisure activity time and local activities will encourage you to meet the locals!

Project hosted by

For many years, the commune of Melle has been working hard to protect the environment. It is therefore committed to safeguarding and promoting biodiversity. This year, it is focusing its efforts on the Étang de la Craie, where you will be taking care of this exceptional wetland.

Directions to meeting point

The meeting point is at Niort station on Wednesday July 9th, between 4p.m and 6p.m. The organisers will provide a shuttle service between the station and the accommodation.
