Resumo: Founded in 1974, the association hosting youngsters with fewer opportunities was since the beginning in the core of the structure.

The association wants to give back this central place to this public. The implication of the association within local projects of inclusion and education bring forward the exchanges between local and international volunteers/participants. For several years, the hosting organization is settled in a old and stylish house, in Beauvoisin village.
If some of the workcamps are organised in the house itself like some renovation camps, there is no full year camp in it.

Indeed, the association organises workcamps around Beauvoisin, in different places to work on local and regional heritage. It is often the case that volunteers go to other villages to work and discover other places, in partnership with locals and inhabitants. During summer time, life in the association gets more intense due to the rythm of international workcamps (that go on for some weeks or even some months). Those workcamps foster a lot the territorial impacts of the association in summertime, in cooperation with some local authorities and associations.

Tarefas: The hosting organization project is really diverse, in one year of volunteering you will participate to various projects and actions .You will actively participate in the life of the house, throught collective dynamic and different activities. Our approachs and activities :

• Chantier /Workcamp
The workcamps are changing every year, it depends on the contractsand evolution of the hosting organization’s project thouth the years.
Mainly during the volunteering the workcamps will be dedicated to manual workshops (site maintenance, rehabilitation of patrimony and green spaces, gardenning ..)
In the hosting organization’s house is hosting 5/6 international volunteers.
The average age is from 18 to 25 years old . The house mascot will also be your roommate, it’s a cat called Shitty.
During the years, the hosting organization is also hosting EVS for short term period and sometimes teenagers, these hostings are between 1 week to 2 months .
The hosting organization‘s house is both association’s office and volunteers‘s flat
You will be accomodated in shared bedrooms with bunk beds(2 to 4 people per rooms).
There are 2 common bathrooms with showers and toilets. The group is autonomous to appropriate itself the common areas
and organise collectively., the workcamps are in general 2 days per week .
In the past year, volunteers participated to the plantation of trees with the objective to preserve the natural local environment, and during the whole year the group was taking care of the maintenance of the hiking path around Beauvoisin , our hosting village .
When the hosting organization does not have outside workcamps the work is focused on the house , the garden, volunteers have opportunity to developp new project to improve the site with the team and in cooperation with our technical leader .

• Local Animation
the association has the aim to developp activities for the village and local population. As volunteers , you will be asked to developp relationships with the locals thought social and cultural activities (weekly english courses for adults and teenagers, animation of monthly intercultural dinners, participation to cultural ponctual events in the local area ).

The association is really involved in the village and is trying to developp as mush as possible some actions to
encourage the participation of the inhabitants and create intercultural and intergenerational meetings, discovery and experiences .

Local animation is a big part of the hosting organization project, Volunteers will need to be motivated to developp interactions with the locals and the learning of basic french will of course be a big asset .

We transfoprmed a little flat in an open space for the locals. This is a second hand shop (with super solidary prices) and it’s also a place where people can have coffee, will discover a place when you can fix, recycle, arrange old things in order to not throw it away and to struggle against planned obsolescence . In the hosting organization, volunteers have opportunity to developp any social actions they feel that will encourage mixity, diversity between people.

Horário: The projcet includes 35 hours of work per week, from 9 am to 5.30 pm from Monday to Friday , and each volunteer and staff member will work one Saturday per month.
These hours are flexible and changing a lot through the year depending on the project activities . Some weeks volunteers will realize less than 35 hours and some weeks it will be a lot more . The association will always try to let volunteers have their leisure hours back, but that's not always the case, participating to the project is full time involvement so it requires sometimes to do more than expected.

When the association is hosting groups, the daily life gets more intense and you will work until late in the
evening sometimes, groups are coming on short periods so the team is developping a lot of activities and actions to encourage the exchanges between participants as mush as possible .
The weekly tasks are including the collective meeting time, the maintenance and cleaning of the hosting place, the local activities and the manual workcamps .

Everyday the collective will have a cooking team who will prepare and serve the meals for everyone, the lunchs and meals are always shared with all the team, this is a collective time that association’s members really value in the daily life . If cooking is not your « passion », do not worry, it can be a learning through your volunteering experience and creativity will come !
