Work

In this workcamp, you will participate in the center's life and in diverse aspects: community (cook, washing, planning...), intercultural exchanges (locals and association's volunteers encounter)...
The workcamp's purpose is to raise awareness over sustainable development. Caring the garden (seeding, transplanting, hoeing, watering, picking, processing). Upkeep of compost, phytosanitary pool, henhouse, insect-house and bamboo canopy.

Accomodation and food

In collective dormitories (8 places), at the Maison des Bateleurs in Montendre, where you would be all the accommodations at your disposal and a vehicle for transport to the site and also to discover the region. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you have a budget which camp-leaders will manage and communicate with you throughout the workcamp). Meals will be prepared, in turn, by you, especially for lunch and dinner while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as the culture of each and every one (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarians and vegans will be prepared).

Location and leisure

Montendre, 75 Km from the sea, between Bordeaux and Angoulême.

Leisure Activities: Tour of the region will be collectively planned as you wish: city visits, ocean, museums or the Forest House... Interactions with house volunteers will be provided like pizza party... This will allow you to see how "Solidarités Jeunesses" works.
