Travail

Are you a nature and biodiversity lover? This workcamp is made for you!
This workcamp is the result of a partnership between the Concordia and Echologia associations, located in Louverne. Echologia is a real oasis of nature and promotes strong ecological values. With more than 70 hectares of land, it has an exceptional eco-tourist site at the gates of Laval, the capital of the Mayenne region (in western France).
For this first year of partnership, you will be based at the foot of an old lime furnace. You will continue the construction of a part of the low walls: staking of the mortar, repointing with lime mortar (masonry technique used for old buildings). These walls will become a filtering waterfall for aquaponics. In a few words, aquaponics is the fusion of 2 techniques, aquaculture and hydroponics, which allows plants and aquatic animals to live together in perfect harmony in a closed system. This system works as a virtuous circle, ecological and healthy to produce vegetables, flowers and fruits. You will learn more on site!

Logement et nourriture

You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat), and will be directly connected with nature. The kitchen and the living space will be set up in a room near the camp.The dry toilets and showers are close to the camp. Volunteers will be able to share their internet connection or use the wifi available at certain locations on the worksite. Laundry will be done by hand. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare the meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals, by privileging healthy and local products, and you can exchange your recipes if you wish. You will also be able to eat organic and seasonal fruits and vegetables, produced directly by Echologia and their aquaponics system.

Please note that this site receives weddings on weekends. Therefore, some parts of the site will be privatised for these events. You will not have access to the showers on Saturday to Sunday’s morning. However, water points are still available. Apart from that, the park is very vast so you will not be disturbed by the noise.

Situation, loisirs

Echologia is located in Louverne, a small village of about 5,000 inhabitants at the gates of Laval, in Mayenne (1h30 from Paris by train and 10min from Laval by car).
This site is an opportunity to take full advantage of the exceptional setting in the heart of nature. You will have access to educational workshops involving the thematics of water, animals, the environment, but also aquaponics, Echologia's main activity!
You will have access to different activities on site: swimming, archery, hiking, etc. Moreover, the site is located a few kilometres away from a leisure centre, accessible on foot, where you can swim!
Please note that the swimming pool and archery will not be accessible on weekends during weddings.
More information on the site: https://echologia.com/

Partenaire

Echologia is built on the site of former lime quarries, closed in 1963. Abandoned for 50 years, nature took over and transformed it into an exceptional site full of unexpected treasures.
This site is now entirely rehabilitated thanks to the work of a team of enthusiasts. Based on a co-construction approach, each tourist who passes by can contribute to the building by participating, at his or her own level, to the expansion of the site. For many years, Echologia has been organising workshops or mini-building sites with different schools or social structures. Thanks to this partnership between Echologia and Concordia, it is the first time that the site will welcome a group of international youth for a workcamp.

Echologia's approach is proactive and cohesive with their strong ecological values. The development of the site is respectful of the environment and heritage in the principle of sustainable development. It is also the first aquaponics training centre in France.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is fixed at the end of the afternoon at the Louverné (53) train station on the 3rd of July. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the infosheet, sent at the latest 4 weeks before the beginning of the work. On the last day (17/07), the departure time is usually set in the morning.
Several trains with connections leave from Paris Montparnasse to the station of Louverné. Please consider using low-carbon transportation (train or bus, rather than aeroplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.
Train reservations are possible about 4 months before departure on the SNCF website, link below: https://www.sncf-connect.com/.
If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress free travel.

Travail

This year, Concordia is teaming up with France Bénévolat and l'Arche de la Nature to create an international work camp in Le Mans.
Located ten minutes from the town centre of Le Mans, the Arche de la Nature estate offers to visitors a vast natural area showcasing the main landscapes of the Sarthe region.
Along the paths, visitors can admire the river, the forest and the grove, and can visit the “Maison de l'Eau”, the “Maison de la Forêt” and the “Maison de la Prairie”. Sports fields and children's playgrounds will satisfy young and old alike. In all, 500 hectares of nature are permanently open to the public, including La Mare aux Poissons Rouges.
La Mare aux Poissons Rouges is an artificial pond that hosted a religious procession from the early 20th century until the Second World War.
The procession group came from the church in Yvré-l'Évêque and passed through the Château de l'Arche estate.
Today, the pond has been cleaned up and is the home to a number of protected amphibians, including the marbled newt.
The aim of this project is to protect the pond by building a dry-stone wall.
You'll be accompanied by a team of expert guides throughout the project to help you learn these techniques step by step!

Logement et nourriture

You'll be staying at the Yvré Leveques municipal campsite, just a few kilometres from the site and Le Mans, in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag or warm duvet, and a mat or mattress). The kitchen and living area, as well as showers and toilets, will be close by. You'll be able to take advantage of the campsite's various facilities, including the swimming pool (remember to bring your bathing suit!). Travel between the living area and the work site will be by bike (distance of around 5 kilometres, between 15 and 20 minutes), so you'll need to know how to ride a bike.
Volunteers can share their internet connection (no WIFI) and laundry will be done by hand. You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you'll help with shopping and meal preparation. You can exchange recipes if you wish.

Situation, loisirs

Le Mans is located in the West of France. It is the administrative centre of the Sarthe County, in the Pays de La Loire region (50 min from Paris, and 1h30 from Nantes by train). You will have time to discover the city. Le Mans is a beautiful artistic and historical city, it is the third one of the Pays de la Loire region when it comes to culture and tourism. The old city centre is surrounded by Roman walls and the most recent renovation works organised to preserve the oldest parts of Le Mans have helped to enhance its local heritage. Two rivers cross the city which has been named one of France's greenest cities. You can find various parks and gardens, in addition to the two big forests bordering the city. For more information about the city: www.lemans.fr

Partenaire

We already carried out a work camp with France Bénévolat about ten years ago. As for Arche de la Nature, we've been working with them for years on various civic services and event organisation projects. Today, we're expanding our partnership by organising a workcamp in their nature areas.
The Arche de la Nature estate, managed by the Le Mans Métropole urban community, offers visitors a vast natural area of almost 500 hectares. Every year, more than 500,000 visitors enjoy this park, which is permanently open to the public free of charge. L'Arche is the green lung of the Le Mans urban area. Various events (festivals, courses and outings) have been organised since 1997.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is at the end of the afternoon on the 12th of July at Le Mans train station: North exit, on the ground floor at the car park. On the last day (17/07), the departure time is usually set in the morning.
From Paris, you can take the train from Gare Montparnasse; regular departures are scheduled throughout the day.
If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress free travel.
The exact meeting time will be given with the infosheet which will be sent at the latest 4 weeks before the start of the workcamp.

Strand, Natur und Wellenrauschen: kommt mit uns in die Bretagne!
Auf der "Ile Ilur" erlebt ihr ein Workcamp der besonderen Art - denn natürlich ist die Insel nur mit Hilfe eines (privaten) Boots zu erreichen. Als Teilnehmende unseres Workcamps aber bringen wir euch dieses einmalige Naturschutzgebiet im Golf von Morbihan näher :-).
Wild und geschützt: Hier erlebt ihr Natur! Auf der Insel lebt nur ein Küstenwächter (gemeinsam mit einer Schafherde ;-)), der sich das ganze Jahr um die Pflege der Insel kümmert.
Die 1 km lange Insel ist Teil des Archipel d'Arz. Einst lebten dort 9 Familien, die Kartoffelanbau und Schafhaltung betrieben; heute wacht eben der Küstenwächter über Hecken, Wiesen und die landschaftliche Vielfalt - stets im Kampf gegen die Baccharis-Pflanzen ;-).
Backöfen und das Dorf bezeugen heute die damalige Existenz der Familien. In den 50er Jahren wurde die Insel privatisiert. Seit 2008 ist die Insel dank einer großzügigen privaten Spende einer Bretonin im Besitz der Küstenschutzbehörde. So kann der kleine Schatz im Golf von Morhiban nun mit Sorgfalt instand gehalten werden.
Die Aufgaben während des Workcamps werden sich dementsprechend um die Pflege der Insel handeln, hierzu können zum Beispiel folgende Tätigkeiten gehören:
- Leichte Renovierungsarbeiten (z.B. eine Mauer wieder aufbauen)
- Strandreinigung
- Pflanzen pflegen
- Dünen von Unkraut befreien; Gestrüpp unkrautjäten und entfernen
- Instandhaltungs- und Verschönerungsarbeiten des traditionell-bretonischen „Dorfs“ der Insel.

Noch gut zu wissen: Das Camp findet schon seit vielen Jahren mit viel positivem Feedback statt :-) In diesem Jahr hat das Camp eine Teenage Gebühr von 250€; dafür bekommt ihr aber erstmalig auch eine Fahrtkostenrückerstattung (abhängig von der Entfernung eures Wohnortes) bis maximal 200€.

Logement et nourriture

Camping in 2-Personen Zelten (Bitte Luftmatratze/Isomatte und Schlafsack mitbringen) auf einem Campingplatz in der Nähe von Vannes. Ein privat gemietetes Boot bringt euch an den Arbeitstagen zur Insel.
Ihr kocht gemeinsam und beteilligt euch in Koch - und Putzgruppen an den anfallenden Aufgaben Geld für die Verpflegung wird zur Verfügung gestellt.

Situation, loisirs

Die Insel ist in der Umgebung vom Meer und somit gehören Ausflüge ans Meer natürlich zum täglichen Programm. Wenn auch weiter von der Unterkunft entfernt, sind sportliche Aktivitäten wie Wanderungen, Mountainbike-Touren, Baumklettern, Segeln, Kayak, Tauchen und kulturelle Aktivitäten wie das Besuchen von Märkten, Museen und Konzerten oder Besichtigungen von bretonischen Sehenswürdigkeiten möglich.

Partenaire

Die Ligue de l’Enseignement ist eine Organisation, die kulturelle, sportliche und allgemeinbildende und Freizeitaktivitäten und Veranstaltungen anbietet. Sie existiert schon seit über 150 Jahren und ist auf lokaler, regionaler und nationaler Ebene vertreten (ein Beispiel für eine Aktivitäten dieser Organisation ist etwa die Aktion „Lire et faire lire“, bei der Freiwillige Kindern vorlesen, um ihre Leidenschaft für das Lesen weiterzugeben).
Darüber hinaus agiert die Ligue de l’Enseignement des Côtes d’Armor als Sending/Hosting Organization sowie als koordinierende Organisation für den Europäischen Freiwilligendienst. Eine weitere große Aufgabe des internationalen/europäischen Bereichs der Organisation ist das Organisieren von deutsch-französischen Workcamps in der Bretagne. In diesen Camps kommen deutsche und französische Jugendliche zusammen, um zu helfen das kulturelle Erbe aufrecht zu erhalten und/oder die Natur zu schützen. Sie legen beispielsweise zugewachsene Wanderwege wieder frei, renovieren Trockenmauern oder säubern den Strand. Vor allem aber wird auf den kulturellen Austausch zwischen den Jugendlichen Wert gelegt. Ein interessantes, diese Tätigkeiten begleitendes Freizeitprogramm rundet die Camps ab.

Die ijgd organisieren seit 1949 Freiwilligendienste. Wir sind ein unabhängiger, gemeinnütziger Verein der internationalen Jugendarbeit, anerkannter freier Träger der Jugendhilfe und eine der größten und ältesten Workcamp-Organisationen in Deutschland. Jedes Jahr begleiten wir rund 5.000 junge Menschen in Diensten im In- und Ausland. Dabei haben diese die Möglichkeit, kreativ zu sein, solidarisch zu handeln, Eigenverantwortung zu übernehmen und ihre eigenen Potenziale und Kompetenzen zu entdecken. Unsere Partnerschaft mit der Ligue de l’Enseignement besteht schon über viele Jahre.

Commentaires additionnels
