Resumo: The host organization is an NGO founded in 1957. Its aim was to help a population that had
been hard hit by the effects of World War II, to reconstruct those homes destroyed during the conflict. From the very beginning up until today, the organization has been putting the principle of solidarity into practice in the form of workcamps, as well as promoting peace and better understanding between people from all over the world.

Perfil: The volunteer posts are open to girls and boys over 18 from different nationalities, with or without
preliminary knowledge in construction and renovation. They have different status: European Voluntary Service volunteers, conscientious objectors, and Civic Service volunteers (French status).

They all must be prepared to commit themselves in the fulfillment of the objectives of the organisation and develop their awareness of:
- Working closely with families in need and with organisations involved in community projects
- Participating to associative and communal life.
- Working as a genuine part of a team outside traditional structures
- Sharing a different experience of life.

This commitment is very demanding but also offers unquestionable experience and awareness of
responsibility.On the project, volunteers also will find many ways to enjoy themselves through new acquaintances and cultural exchanges.

Tarefas: Working with the organisation staff (administrative mentors and technical supervisors) and with the
social worker in charge of the family, the volunteers prepare and assure the technical, financial and
human aspects on the building site. They also try to make the families involved in the improvement of their living conditions by working together on the site.
Although the main purpose in the carrying out of the work, the activity has therefore an important
social and human aspect that makes our intervention different from a professional one.

This in particular includes the participation of the family in the project (choice of the work that has to
be done, the material…) and also in its technical realisation.
Furthermore, when possible the volunteers share the lunch with the family which provides a valuable
time to get to know each other and may create strong links based on trust and sharing.
Volunteers are also fully involved in the organisation life, especially through their participation in the
national and local administrative councils, general assemblies and through the Volunteers’ Collective
which regroups all volunteers. In summer, volunteers can work as group co-leaders on international summer workcamps organised by the association.

Condições: The volunteers live and work as a part of a team of 3 to 5 people, sharing a flat or a house in one of
the places where we host volunteers in France. In some of these places there is also local French volunteers as part of the team, the difference is that they do not share the flat.

Accomodation is provided by the host organization. Because of their low budget, the coordinating organization have to adapt them selves during their long term experience to an alternative way of living, sharing a communal life. The host organization pay all the costs related to the training, the local or national associative activities in which volunteers are involved.
