Resumo: "Created in 1964, the association ""Les Villages des Jeunes "", became regional delegation of Solidarités Jeunesses in Provence-Alps Cote d'Azur in 1996. It is an association for popular education, registered by the Ministry of Youth and Sport. The association organises short and long-term international programmes, inclusion and social actions, trainings, international solidarity actions, and manages two hosting structures in a rural environment, including Vaunieres. Vaunières reception centre: As many other small villages located in mountainous and isolated areas, Vaunieres was abandoned at the beginning of the 60s due to the profound changes of the local rural economy which caused the collapse of the agricultural and pastoral activities. When the association settled in Vaunières in 1964, there was only one inhabitant left and the majority of the houses were either in ruins or in a very bad condition. Thanks to a renovation project and international youth workcamps, the hamlet has become a national and international meeting centre. The almost entirety of the renovation work has been done with the participation of young people with social disabilities, international volunteers, families… Today, there are no more ""villagers"" in Vaunières, only the permanent staffs of the association lives there all year through. a) Geographical environment: Vaunières is situated 7 km from the village of Saint Julien en Beauchêne, in the north of the Provence -Alpes Côte d'Azur region, at an altitude of 1200 , at the bottom of a valley in the Alps. Located in the heart of a magnificent circle of mountains, the place benefits from a very well preserved environment composed of forests and green fields. Sited at the crossroad of many footpaths which connect other villages around, Vaunières also offers many possibilities for beautiful hikes in the mountains. St Julien en Beauchene, the closest village to Vaunières, has a population of about 100 inhabitants. It is set in a very rural area with a declining economy. The people live on agricultural and pastoral activities and are eager to develop tourism. The closest cities are: Gap (40 km), Grenoble (90 km) and Sisteron (70 km). Marseille is at 200 km away, travelling south. b) Description of Vaunieres reception centre: The centre comprises 6 buildings and 80 ha which allow it to accommodate up to 150 people during the summer. - Hôtellerie house: 34 beds in rooms of 4 to 5 people, collective kitchen and dining room shared with international volunteers and the permanent staff, showers and toilets on each floor. - Auberge house: 19 beds in rooms of 4 to 5 people, independent kitchen and dining room, showers and toilets on each floor. - Trois Roues house: one dormitory of 6 beds and one bedroom, independent kitchen and dining room, showers and toilets adapted for wheel chairs. On the place, you will also find rooms for activities and parties, a ""tavern"", some animals, an open air theatre, a traditional oven to bake bread and pizzas, a wood and masonry workshop…c) Actions held at Vaunières: - Reception of groups and individuals: The reception activity is one of the most important ones, especially in the summer. Many groups, schools, families and hikers stay at the centre, either to take part in renovation and construction activities or simply to take a holiday. Some other people also come for specific projects such as seminars, training courses and intercultural exchanges. The centre is open during the year; however, the activities of the centre are concentrated to the high season (May to October) and the school holidays. - Inclusion through economical activity: Every year, this action targets ten to twelve local people confronted with social and professional difficulties. The people who take part in this action are salaried on a part time basis, they come to work 3 days a week. They contribute to the renovation work of the centre and help us with the reception of groups. - International workcamps. At the centre and in the villages nearby, the association organises international youth workcamps in the period between April and October. Every year, these workcamps involve numerous volunteers coming from all over the world. d) Activities: - Preservation of the environment and renovation work: painting, plumbery, electricity, construction work, landscaping, wood work. - Cultural activities: concerts and music festivals organised in cooperation with local associations. Intercultural meals, thematic days. - Discovery of the natural environment: hikes, fauna and flora, geology. e) Collective life: Collective life is a key issue in the project. It is a support for meetings and exchanges between everyone. For this reason, everybody is supposed to act responsibly and to take part actively in everyday tasks (permanent staff, salaried people, volunteers, holiday makers, groups). Meals, household, washing up and all the efforts to keep the area clean and tidy are carried out in turns and by small groups. The meals are taken all together between all the residents of the centre.
