Resumo: Our organization is a non-profit making organization which develops environmental and heritage conservation projects, through different actions and publics: inclusion work, training work, voluntary work and other actions of sustainable development in rural areas.
For this voluntary project, a group of 6 European volunteers and 2 French volunteers will be hosted. This team will take part in the conservation of built heritage.
The volunteers will have the chance to work in three counties. The volunteers will travel and spend time outside their lodging location for several week camps. That will be the opportunity to discover local culture and people.

Our organization aims to raise people awareness about our heritage which also vehicles social connections. Built heritage is a great medium to share and federate people on the history of a territory and its people. Heritage also reflects the cultural diversity of our European communities. The main goal of this conservation project is to make the ‘heritage’ topic more accessible to young people in order to develop the participation of everyone to its conservation.

The team of volunteers will take part to several kind of activities :
A/ Technical activities: Conservation work of built heritage on different supports and using different techniques.
The activities will be supervised by the technical leaders of the organization.
B/ Educational activities: Raising awareness on built heritage conservation and local heritage (with schools, local population, visitors …), link with the local actors. Enhancement of European culture and exchanges.
