Travail

This project is based on a dynamic meeting between the volunteers and the residents of the centre.
With the help of technical leaders, the volunteers and the residents will work together to improve the quality of life and well-being in the center: painting some rooms and corridors, building benches and tables, creation of 2 games storage boxes and proposing leisure activities and workshops to the residents and specially youngsters and kids: sports, crafts, games, treasure hunt, film projection, debate…
Feel free to bring your fresh ideas.
Sugny’s center wants also to create more connections and share between the residents and the local community and so they would like to organize an event (to be confirmed) around the theme of the “Kitchen of the World” during the week-end of the festivities for the Belgian National Day (21th of July).
BEWARE : Probably volunteers will work during the week-end (20th – 21th of July) and they will have free time on Monday and Tuesday.

Logement et nourriture

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.
BEWARE : Volunteers will share the same living conditions of the residents that are really “basic”.
The food will be provided by the center and you will eat in the refectory with the residents. There is also a kitchen available if you want to propose to the others your favourite meal ;)

Situation, loisirs

Sugny is a small and isolated village in the south of Belgium nearby the French border. By choosing this workcamp, you decide to live in the nature. All around, there are fields, woods and small villages. But there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment: football fields, basketball playgrounds… During the weekend, and according to the group decisions, it will be possible to organise cultural visits and to travel to the biggest Belgian cities.
BEWARE: the place is really isolated.

Partenaire

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.
Website (available in English): https://www.fedasil.be/en
This project is organized in line with several other volunteering teams hosted in refugees center 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 13th of July at Gedinne train station at 3.00pm.

Remarques

This project is 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:
 The participation to the ESC volunteering teams is subjects to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en
 The volunteers do not have to pay any fee (not sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project
 The volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of 4€/day, once they arrive on the project in Belgium
 The volunteers will receive a financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established in accordance with their travel distance
 The volunteers need to register on the European Solidarity Corps Portal; CBB will organize their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project
 The volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online by the ESC portal

We warn the volunteers that the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden inside the centre.

The volunteers are required to have basic knowledge of French.
Besides, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about group’s animation (songs, music, dance, plays…) and to be able to assume responsibility within a group. Be able to listen to others is very important there. This kind of workcamp is a very rich personal and human experience. It makes people aware of the complexity of certain social conditions related to the great inequalities on our planet.
In order to demonstrate this, we ask the candidate volunteers:
 to answer our specific questionnaire (if you do not have it yet, please ask it to your sending organization)
 to send us a criminal record

We will not confirm any placement request before the analysis of these documents.

Travail

Le Terrain d’Aventure du Peri is calling on international volunteers to realize an eco-responsible construction project on the organization ground. Supervised by a technical leader specialized in this type of construction, the volunteers, helped by the children and the young people who frequent the association, will build a “kerterre”, an ecological construction-sculpture in lime-hemp in a round shape (to give you an idea, it resembles the hobbit houses from Lord of the Rings) which will be used by children during activities in the field.
For this construction Le Terrain d’Aventure has all the needed equipment to work safely :
• Thick, long rubber gloves for heavy work, which protect up to the elbow
• Anti-dust masks
• Protective glasses
• Protective suits

According to time other tasks can be renovate wood huts and build a dry toilet.
The team of Le Terrain d’Aventure thinks that international volunteers can help the young people of Le Terrain to open themselves thanks to the meeting of other cultures, mentalities and different beliefs.

Logement et nourriture

The volunteers will sleep in a separate building from the main one, called “le chalet”. A small wooden cabin with mattresses on the floor. The floor of the chalet is already well insulated from the ground by soft carpets. In addition, they will install additional mattresses for sleeping during the construction period. They will install curtains to respect the privacy of each volunteer. Space in the cabin is quite limited (there is only space for mattresses and luggage).
In the main building, volunteers will have access to a shared living room with kitchen (volunteers will cook their meals together) and to the toilet. For showers, volunteers will use outdoor camping-style showers.
BEWARE that the accommodation conditions are really basic and not too comfortable.

Situation, loisirs

Le Terrain d’Aventure du Peri is a green space of 8,000 square meters, located in the “Coteaux de la Citadelle”, a ten-minute walk from the city center of Liege.
Called “La Cité Ardente”, Liege is, by number of inhabitants, the first Walloon urban area and known for its cultural abundance, its warm and festive atmosphere (especially in summer).
Culture, nature and gastronomy mixt themselves in Liège.
Not to be missed are the Liege-style meatballs, the regional beers and the Authentic Liege Waffle and after a walk in the famous Coteaux de la Citadelle (where Le Terrain d’Aventure is located) that will offer you tranquility and breathtaking views of the valley.
During the weekend, it will be possible to organize cultural visits in Liege or to travel to the biggest Belgian cities. Brussels, the capital, is an 1h away by train.

Partenaire

Le Terrain d’Aventure du Peri (The Adventure Playground of Peri) is an organisation, created in 1977. Passionate people, parents and neighbors offered to children a new space of freedom as an alternative to the technical progress and modernity. It is a place dedicated to self-development and community life, a place where children can learn and experiment without pressure.
Every day, between 10 and 60 children gather there to share outdoor games, table games, sheds building, do-it-yourself workshops, cooking activities, artistic projects and gardening. All these activities must help them to develop their autonomy, responsibility, critical thinking and solidarity.
The playground is recognized as a youth center by the French community of Belgium. It follows a mission of education to an active and responsible citizenship.
The adventure playground is open to all young people, from 5 to 26 years old.
Your support will help the centre promote healthy behaviour and well-being among families and kids (UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being, UN SDG4 Quality education).

Travail

Assisted by local technical leaders, the volunteer group will restore an old walking path in the forest by cleaning, building footbridges to step over streams of water and building benches and a covered rest area. This camp is the continuation of the project of the last summer where volunteers restore another path in the same area. This path is promoted by the tourism office and used by hundreds of walkers every year. In summer you will not see but in the autumn and winter this area is full of water cumulated with the rains and the footbridges you will build are really useful.
If you work fast, several other manual tasks are foreseen: repairing fences, repairing some shed for walkers, repairing stone walls and taking care of construction realized during previous workcamps.
If you like working with wood, screws and tools this is your workcamp!

BEWARE: This workcamp is based on manual and outdoor tasks which might be hard.

Logement et nourriture

Accommodation can be compared to a boarding school (Saint François complex): a corridor with double bedrooms; toilets and showers are at the same floor. No smoking inside. A big common space is also available for indoor activities.
Self-catering. Bring your recipes to enjoy ‘kitchen life’!
The working place is not the same as the accommodation place so volunteers will leave the town every day.
Sleeping in town, working in the countryside.

Situation, loisirs

Marche-en-Famenne is a city in the countryside and it is also CBB 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

Partenaire

The Marche-en-Famenne workcamp is the outcome of the collaboration between municipal authorities and a local non-profit organization. More than twenty years ago, the mayor and deputies wanted to develop international contacts for the local youth. GRIMM association was just beginning to work on the protection of the local life framework and promoting models of sustainable development. Their members had a full load of ideas but were short of hands to realize them. Thus, they came to the idea of involving volunteers from all over the world. Since then, the municipality makes its buildings available every summer and welcomes foreign youngsters. GRIMM members organize the work. With the help from the volunteers, they are eventually able to realize the projects they dreamt about. Their actions are based on the following philosophy: Nature belongs to everyone. And if each of us may enjoy it, it has to be protected.
They organize workcamps for more than 20 years!!!
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).
