Arbeit

You'll be taking part in the enhancement of local heritage around the castle and its recipe room. Working with a history enthusiast and an archaeologist, you'll be clearing the ground, clearing undergrowth, and consolidating, and then carrying out careful excavation work on these areas, which bear witness to previous centuries. The summer will be punctuated by local events where you will be invited to take part in festivities such as the ‘Saint-Amand fait son intéressant’ performing arts festival, night markets, village festivals, etc. You'll be in close contact with local volunteers to help organise these events.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be welcomed at the Coly municipal stadium. Tents for two will be provided, as well as trekking foam mattresses. Remember to bring your duvet and a pillow. A covered dining area is reserved for you, with a kitchen where you can take turns preparing tasty dishes. You will prepare the menus and meals together, taking into account the season, everyone's needs, and the pleasure of sharing together."

Lage und Freizeit

During your stay, you will have the opportunity to participate in local festivities and cultural events, to discover the region, and to organise your programme of activities with the other volunteers and the animators.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

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.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is Condat-le-Lardin railway station. You need to get there on 07/07 between 4pm and 8pm. If you arrive the day before, you will need to arrange your own accommodation.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

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!

Arbeit

You'll be working on a timber frame for a hiking shelter, located in the immediate proximity of the Abbey of Clausonne. A local carpenter will guide you in assembling the supporting structure, making the joints and building the floor. Each day, two members of the group will rotate in preparing meals for the team; the menu will be defined in advance. You'll work on-site during the mornings from Monday to Friday.
Generally speaking, the work involves carpentry, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up community life.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

We will host you at the Faï FermeFaï, a welcoming site located at an altitude of 1000 meters. You will be accommodated in individual tents. A kitchen, dry toilets, and showers will be at your disposal at the site.
Here, we take care with our food to reduce our environmental impact: we eat local as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week.
Daily life is organized collectively: menus (vegetarian, vegan diets, etc.), shopping, activities, and so on.

Lage und Freizeit

The Clausonne site is a 20-minute walk from Ferme du Faï. Le Faï is 2 km from the village of Le Saix and 13 km from the town of Veynes. There's no Wi-Fi, so the connection is weak, but you'll meet people from all over the world!

The site is located below the summit of Aujour Mountain, so the view may inspire you to discover the pleasure of the hike in your spare time. Indeed, this wilderness spot is ideal for mountain walking and wandering. You'll have the chance to discover the area in the company of a group of international volunteers, which will enrich your experience. Here, you'll be the protagonist of your stay: you'll organize your free time together with the support of our staff.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

A small valley in the heart of a sublime alpine landscape, the remains of the 12th-century abbey of Clausonne, and a 300 km hiking trail. All this invites you to discover this rural area and its history! Here, for the past 30 years, a local association has been involved in preserving and promoting the site, as well as contributing to the life of Clausonne and writing its present-day history.
Last summer, work began on the construction of a hiker's shelter on the site. As this is a stage on an itinerary of ancient transhumance routes, you'll be contributing to welcoming cyclists and hikers for years to come.
This project is just one of the many initiatives in which international and local volunteers, the people on work integration programs and other professionals have participated over the years.
You'll be staying at the Ferme du Faï, an old mountain farmhouse that's kept alive by a team of employees working on the renovation of the buildings, artists and musicians in artistic residence, hikers passing through and the curious. Roll up your sleeves and join us on-site and in our collective living space!

Arbeit

You will be working on the preservation of the south facade of the Hôtellerie building, in the hamlet of Vaunières. This stone façade is currently covered with a layer of insulation and a really damaged finish. The first phase of work will therefore involve removing the insulation to reveal the ancient masonry. Next, you will repoint the stones with mortar, and then apply the bonding plaster. A local expert will guide you through the various phases of the project. Some activities involve working on scaffolding. Each day, two members of the group will take turns preparing meals for the team; the menu will be defined in advance. You'll work on-site during the morning, Monday to Friday.
Generally speaking, the work involves masonry, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up collective life.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

We welcome you to the hamlet of the Vaunières, at an altitude of 1170 meters. You'll be accommodated in dormitories with sanitary facilities, kitchen, and dining facilities at your disposal. Here, we pay close attention to our diet to reduce our environmental impact: we eat locally as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week. Daily life is organized collectively: menus (vegetarian, vegan diets, etc.), shopping, activities, and so on. Once or twice for weeks, we organize shopping trips using the vehicles provided on site.

Lage und Freizeit

The hamlet of Vaunières is 6km from Saint Julien en Beauchêne village and 23km from the nearby town of Veynes. There's no Wi-Fi, and the connection is weak, but you'll meet people from all over the world!

You will be in an exceptional location to discover the pleasures of hiking in the mountains, wandering near rivers and lakes, enjoying local markets, and festive evenings organized in the surrounding villages (according to the program). Discover this place in the company of a group of international volunteers who will enrich your experience. Here, you will be the protagonist of your stay: you'll organize your own free time and benefit from the support of our staff.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

At the heart of an impressive mountain cirque in the French Alps, the hamlet of Vaunières sits on a vast, gently sloping plain. Large stone buildings nestled between meadows and forests... But this village is not like the others! Purchased as a ruin in the 60s by the Les Villages des Jeunes association, the site is now completely renewed, bustling with life thanks to the many events that take place here and the many local and international connections. Vaunières is a place to meet, to work; to enjoy the peace of the mountains, and the dynamism of the area. Today, the site lives and breathes thanks to a team of employees working on the maintenance of the site, volunteers, tourists, hikers, and aficionados. Roll up your sleeves and join us on-site and in our collective life spaces.

The aim of this project is to rebuild the perimeter wall of the former priory, located behind the school and alongside the stream. The work will involve restoring and consolidating this structure to ensure its solidity, while ensuring that it blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. As well as helping to preserve the local heritage, the project will give volunteers an opportunity to learn traditional masonry techniques, such as cutting and assembling stones, repointing and laying mortar.
You don't need any qualifications to take part, just your enthusiasm and desire to learn. You will be supervised by experienced professionals who will guide you through the various stages of the work. Don't forget to bring suitable, comfortable, and hard-wearing clothing, as there is a risk that your clothes will be damaged or soiled. All the necessary safety equipment will be provided.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge is a commune in south-west France, in the Cognac region, in the heart of the Charente countryside, close to the Lande forest and a short distance from the banks of the Gironde estuary. This commune is a long-standing partner of the association, with whom we carried out the first workcamps in the Charente-Maritime region in 1996. After a ten-year hiatus in projects in the area, in 2019 the municipality wanted to rekindle the intercultural momentum generated by the work camps, and in particular to use them to renovate the cemetery walls last year.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is Jonzac station, on Tuesday 8 July, between 3p.m and 5p.m. The organisers will provide a shuttle service between the station and the accommodation. All the information you need to get there will be in the project roadmap.

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.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

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.

Lage und Freizeit

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.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

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!

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Help preserve the heritage of Châteaudouble, a small medieval Provencal village typical of southern France. For lovers of nature, hilltop villages and heritage!
The village hosts a number of cultural events at its open-air Théâtre de Verdure, on an esplanade overlooking the village and its listed monuments, with a magnificent unobstructed view.
As the site is vast, a number of restoration projects are planned, with the main aim of building the dry-stone wall adjoining the Châteaudouble open-air theater, and the secondary aim of constructing the steps to demarcate the passageway.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You'll be housed in tents (provided by CONCORDIA) on the Plateau de Sainte-Anne, adjacent to the Théâtre de Verdure, with access to the former Sainte-Anne chapel, now a multi-purpose hall with toilets and an indoor kitchen and dining area. As we don't have a bathroom on site, we'll be installing solar-powered showers. Laundry will be done by hand.
You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together, either in the outdoor summer kitchen or under the small covered facility. A budget will be allocated to the organizers, and you'll help with grocery-shopping and meal preparation, giving priority to healthy, vegetarian, local products.

Lage und Freizeit

Overlooking the Nartuby gorges in the Haut Var, Châteaudouble has preserved its authentic medieval appearance. The village invites you to explore its narrow streets, wander between the houses and climb up to the castle ruins on the Sainte Anne plateau.
Châteaudouble offers a wide range of leisure activities, including visits and walks, swimming in the rivers and gorges, kayaking in the gorges or at sea, hiking, local sports such as pétanque, and participation in the various village festivities.
As the commune is isolated with little public transport, the vast majority of activities will take place on site. Outings to the gorges and/or the sea can also be organized.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Châteaudouble is a medieval village with a rich heritage of sumptuous monuments, some of which are listed. Very dynamic and committed to promoting its historical and natural heritage, the commune is also developing several projects in the village. For the seventh consecutive year, we are renewing our partnership with the commune of Châteaudouble.
Our work and your commitment will enable us to restore and enhance this magnificent site for the benefit of local residents and tourists alike!

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is the Gare des ARCS DRAGUIGNAN on 09/07 at 5pm. From the Gare de Lyon in Paris, there are several direct or connecting trains to Les ARCS DRAGUIGNAN station. The journey takes around 5 hours.
An “on-demand” rural bus service operates in the area, linking Draguignan and Châteaudouble; the organizers will be in touch with you in the days leading up to the site, with specific instructions on how to get to the site.
Train reservations can be made around 4 months before departure on the SNCF website, link below:
https://www.sncf-connect.com

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. Its ramparts, remnants of an ancient defense system, have stood the test of time but now require dedicated restoration efforts. This project is a unique opportunity to contribute to the preservation of this cultural heritage while learning traditional building techniques.
Your mission will be to restore a section of the ancient walls by undertaking various tasks. You will help rebuild a brick wall to close an opening, using traditional masonry techniques. Additionally, you will work on repointing the stones and bricks to reinforce the structure and ensure its long-term stability. 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!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation will be in individual tents at the municipal stadium, where a large communal tent will be set up as a living space with a dining area. (Don’t forget your sleeping bag!). Showers will be available in the stadium’s locker rooms.

Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you will take part in grocery shopping and meal preparation, with a focus on vegetarian, healthy and locally sourced products.

Lage und Freizeit

Peronne is a town of approximately 7,000 inhabitants located in the Hauts-de-France region, in the eastern part of the Somme, at the heart of the former Picardie region. The town is 1.5 hours from Paris, 1 hour from Amiens, and 30 minutes from Saint-Quentin. Due to its strategic location during World War I, the area is home to many sites of memory and commemoration.

A medieval festival will take place during your workcamp on the first weekend, offering plenty of opportunities for interaction and festivities. You will also participate in the celebrations of the French National Day on July 14th, including a fireworks display. Additionally, a visit to Amiens, the capital of Picardie, is on the agenda!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Founded in the medieval era, the town of Péronne holds a strategic position in the heart of the Somme region. Its history is marked by numerous conflicts, including the Hundred Years’ War and World War I, which have shaped its unique heritage. Among its most iconic sites, the town’s ramparts still stand as a testament to its defensive past. Although partially damaged over the centuries, they remain a powerful symbol of local history and deserve dedicated preservation efforts.

For several years, the municipality of Péronne has been collaborating with Concordia, welcoming volunteer workcamps aimed at safeguarding the ramparts, bringing together local youth and international volunteers. These initiatives not only help protect a valuable historical legacy but also foster connections between generations and cultures while raising awareness of the importance of heritage conservation.

Help restore a hut at the heart of the “hunters' site” in the south of France!
The commune of Puy-Sanière would like to restore the “hunters' hut”, a structure overlooking the Lac de Serre-Ponçon, and through which many hikers pass. Once used as a base for hunters, this structure is part of the commune's rural heritage and could also become a shelter for walkers.

You'll be taking part in the restoration of the hut's enclosure during a 3-week international work camp. You'll work on cleaning up the site, deconstructing it before starting to build, and finally constructing a low wall. At the end of your work, the walls will extend over 24 linear meters, allowing the hut to become a used shelter again!

This is a high-mountain project, so you'll need to read the description carefully before signing up.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You'll be accommodated outside the hut, in a large shady area where tents (supplied by CONCORDIA) will be pitched to provide shelter from the elements. A party room is also available, with access to WCs and a covered kitchen. Telephone reception, but no WIFI.

Meals are prepared either in an outdoor kitchen or in the covered kitchen. You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animators and you will participate in the shopping and preparation of meals, giving priority to healthy, vegetarian and local products.

Lage und Freizeit

Puy-Sanières is a commune in southern France, located on the southern flank of Mont Guillaume (2,552 m), at the southernmost tip of the Écrins massif. It lies in the Hautes-Alpes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, near the Serre-Ponçon lake.
The site of the “hunters' hut” is located a few kilometers away from the center of the village of Puy-Sanières, on land mainly devoted to pastoralism and soft tourism activities.

The site will be punctuated by leisure activities, such as discovering the region and its specialities, hiking and other sporting activities, as well as opportunities to meet the local population.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Together with the Parc des Ecrins, Concordia has decided to set up a project in the Puy-Sanières mountain area.

During the workcamp mornings, you will participate in the construction of a wooden structure, a covered shelter, which will serve as a relaxing area and a cool, shaded space. Under the supervision of a technical supervisor, you will learn woodworking skills and become true apprentice carpenters. Once the structure is completed, you will be able to shelter there and take part in its decoration and layout.
But it doesn’t stop there – we need your motivation to restore the stone and mosaic slab in our "pond and performance" area. Over the years, relentless vegetation has infiltrated the space, and the ground is now all uneven. The frogs will be at the front lines, encouraging you with their croaks!
Additionally, you will help water the plants, harvest vegetables from the garden, and transform these products. You’ll have the chance to meet our 3 wonderful residents from the chicken coop and maintain this space regularly.
This project is a great opportunity to meet young people from across Europe and around the world, exchange cultures, and share friendly moments. It’s the ideal setting to make new friends while engaging in various positive experiences (sleeping in tents, eating responsibly, using compost toilets...).
Throughout your stay, you will be accompanied by professional facilitators who will ensure your safety and well-being. The activities are organized in a supportive environment where everyone can find their place.
If you want to take part in a project of sharing and discovery while learning new skills, join us at Citrus!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You'll be accommodated in 8- to 12-person single-sex collective tents with floors and beds. There are beautiful composting toilets and solar showers, all built by former workcamps participants. A washing machine is available for reasonable and regulated use. There is no Wi-Fi connection.
You will participate daily in maintaining the site and preparing meals. Collective decisions will ensure a balanced diet based on your tastes, dietary requirements, and seasonal local products. Cooking is part of the project, just like the construction activities.

Lage und Freizeit

Afternoons will be dedicated to various recreational activities and discovering the region. You can go hiking, canoeing, visit beautiful medieval villages, or explore cities steeped in history. You can also swim directly in the Viaur River at Laguépie.
Moreover, with the support of the animation team, you will also be actively involved in suggesting activities and organizing events. Discussions about your favorite movie, introducing a local dance from your region, exchanging ideas on a current issue that concerns you, karaoke nights, or international quizzes – the floor is open for your ideas!
And then, the time will come for the famous international dinner, open to everyone, where you will prepare one or more typical dishes from your country or region. It’s a great way to take your friends on a culinary journey and exchange ideas on interculturality!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Come join the Citrus association project and participate in several renovation, maintenance and development actions of our international reception center. For more than ten years, international volunteers and young people on site have been working one after another to help bring this intercultural, experimental place to life, focused on the challenges of tomorrow.
On the heights of the village of Laguépie, Citrus association is a place of sharing and encounters, where young people from all over the world come to contribute to the renovation and fitting-out of the international welcome center. Since 2012, the association's buildings have been located in the former hamlet of La Mayounelle: offices, a communal living space and an activity room, all surrounded by fields, the landscape of greenery, and a vegetable garden. Accompanied by experienced leaders, you'll live at the heart of the association and share daily life with the Citrus team and other volunteers on site.
