Travail

With the help of a professional the volunteers will build a dry stone wall in order to stabilize the embankment between the garden and the wood shed built in the previous workcamp by international volunteers. This project is a step forward in our idea to create a “green space” for young people for learning about gardening, permaculture, biodiversity, for meeting, for having outdoor activities, …

BEWARE: This workcamp is based on manual and outdoor tasks which might be sometimes 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’!

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

At the end of 2020, CBB received the management of a plot of land of around 20 acres, near the center of Marche-en-Famenne, in order to work on the theme of ecological transition and responsible consumption while creating activities that encourage the meeting of small groups of young people.
We developed the plot into a garden, where we lead workshops (discovery of permaculture, construction of nest boxes, insect hotels, vegetable beds, etc.) and cultivate useful resources for young people who invest in our activities.

We want our garden to become a place of meeting and (bio)diversity. It will live and evolve thanks
to the interaction of the young people involved. Above all, our garden must allow us to cultivate social ties, such as sustainable and inclusive practices between more or less vulnerable young people, with or without disabilities.

Travail

Le Domaine de Chevetogne organise international workcamp for teenagers since more or
less ten years. Throughout the years the volunteers built cabanes, huts, bridges, fences, benches, trails and paths for walking. Now some of these realisations need to be refreshed and some reparations. Your team will be in charge of this: so prepare yourself to discover the entire park (the realisations are in many different places), to realise different tasks : painting, sawing, hammering, …

If you like nature and working with wood, screws and tools this is your workcamp!

Logement et nourriture

You will live in a lovely cottage in the middle of the domain with beds, a kitchen and a bathroom with hot shower. Bring with you your sleeping bag.

The meals will be on a self-catering basis, so be ready to cook all together. Bring your favourite recipes. Volunteers must notify beforehand about specific diet.

Situation, loisirs

Le Domaine de Chevetogne is located in the countryside. By choosing this workcamp, the volunteer decides to live in the nature. All around, there are fields and woods. As the domain is also a tourist centre, there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment: outdoor swimming pool (bring your swimsuit and swimming cap), football fields, minigolf, tennis or basketball playgrounds, kayak…

During the weekend, it will be possible to organize cultural visits and to travel to the biggest Belgian cities. The town of Ciney is 10 kilometres away from the Domain of Chevetogne.

Partenaire

Le Domaine provincial de Chevetogne is a big centre for environmental education and social tourism. There is a huge park situated on 550 acres and a modest castle.

Pupils from primary and secondary schools come there to participate in activities focusing on discovering the nature and rural way of life. During the summer, many kids and families make a one-day excursion to the Domaine or stay there for holidays to do sports, picnics, observe nature.

Motivated and professional staff from Le Domaine de Chevetogne hopes to share their passion for the environment with international volunteers.

Your support will help the center promote healthy behaviour and well-being among families and kids (UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being, UN SDG4 Quality education).

Travail

The volunteers will give a hand and a fresh air to the centre’s animation team.


They will be required to get actively involved in the daily life of the centre.

Half of the time the volunteers will propose and plan activities for children and teenagers (according to the population currently present in the centre). Some example could be: creative and artistic workshops, board games, walking excursions, going to swimming pool, sports and games, movies, cultural visits, …


To a lesser extent and depending on the weather forecast, volunteers will take part in gardening tasks. Recently the centre starts a vegetable garden project with and for the residents.

The management team of the centre is very well used to work with volunteers as they have been hosting this workcamp for many years.

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. Volunteers will share the same living conditions of the residents and beware that are really “basic”.

Food is based on self-catering. Take your own recipes and ideas. Please, be aware that meals have to be simple. You will have access to a small kitchen to cook your meals. Vegetarian or any other diet should be announced in advance in order to organise shopping.

Situation, loisirs

Rixensart is located in the Brabant Walloon province, 25 km from Brussels and 7 km from Waver. The zone is highly urbanised and has all the usual conveniences, Rixensart still keeps its countryside charm but one can feel the proximity of Brussels (40 minutes by train, 20 by car). Asylum seekers Centre is located outside the town centre, but at a walking distance from the famous local lake Genval, cinema, shops, supermarkets, train station…

Partenaire

The Rixensart Asylum Seekers Centre accommodates people or families who have asked for asylum in Belgium. Refugees come from Syria, Irak, Iran, Congo etc. Many of them fled from war or from countries that were under a dictatorship or devastated by an ecological disaster. Thus they came to Belgium with dreams of stability, richness and comfort life. It is not, however, that easy to be allowed to settle in Europe, especially for somebody from the South or the East. Before these people may start their new live, their refugee status has to be proven and accepted. While waiting for the document that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the immigrants are accommodated in this centre in the Brussels vicinity.

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 Rixensart Asylum Seeker Centre reflects these individual dramas and hopefulness of residents.

This project is organized in line with several other volunteering teams hosted in refugees centre 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 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 send a short motivation letter

to answer our specific questionnaire (if you do not have it yet, please ask it to your sending organization)

to send us a CGC (Certificate of good conduct) 

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

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.

Partenaire

The Marche-en-Famenne workcamp is the outcome of the collaboration between municipal authorities and a local non-profit organization. More than fifteen 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 15 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).

Situation, loisirs

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and Europe.

The Parmentier park was commissioned by king Leopold II to embellish the Woluwe-Saint-Pierre district that became the most elegant and the greenest of Brussels. Les Station de Plein Air, created in 1933, is one of the first playgrounds in Brussels. 

Upon request, the park can provide you with board games, books and comics.

Different city trips to discover Brussels, his culture, art and history will be organized !

Partenaire

Since 1933 Les Stations de Plein Air manages and organizes activities for children living in and around Brussels and also coming from less advantaged backgrounds. The organization is located in a nine-hectare park, classified as a special part of Monuments and Sites of Belgium, only a few kilometers from the capital.

Les Stations de Plein Air wishes to promote an active and healthy occupation of leisure time among children and youth. It aims to develop their sense of creativity, their ability to live together and their sense of citizenship. As such, they are also very happy to be able to welcome young people coming from abroad, and they hope that a connection can be created between their young summer camps leaders and the group of international volunteers.

Your support will help the organization promote healthy activities and well-being among kids. (UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being, UN SDG4 Quality education).
