Bona Fides Association and Solidarites Jeunesses are looking for Polish participants (aged 18-30) for 2-weeks workcamp in France with Association du Centre de Beaumotte!
Location: Haute-Saône (30 minutes from Besançon), France
Dates: 30.11.2024 – 14.12.2024
Duration: 2 weeks
PROJECT
If you want to live a collective experience, learn to cooperate and discover other ways of living or seeing things, we’re waiting for you at the Centre de Beaumotte, a popular education association. In the middle of the countryside, you will share daily life with young people from Europe and from different social backgrounds. Here, we want to make the most of our differences!
WORK
Every year, the Centre de Beaumotte welcomes people from all walks of life. It’s a place for learning and experimentation, where everyone is invited to leave their mark. During this work camp, we’re offering you the chance to learn carpentry techniques, because we’ve got lots of projects in the pipeline to improve our home! From building shutters and furniture to solar-powered shower cubicles, we have no shortage of ambitions to take our sustainable practices to the next level.
ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD
You will be accommodated within our association, in a two-storey shared room. You will sleep in gender-mixed bunk beds. The centre is equipped with a washing machine, but it will be easier if you bring as many things as possible with you. The wifi will not be unlimited: it will be turned on at certain times during free time. That’s what group living is all about: not being on your mobile phone all day!
You’ll take it in turns to cook in our professional kitchen. There will always be a group leader to help you. Your group will play an active role in community life. There will be teams for cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc. Food will be provided by the association. Our food is organic and/or local! You will eat meat 2 times a week. Solidarités Jeunesses wants to reduce meat consumption on its workcamps.
It is important to note that Beaumotte has been running a social project for 45 years: we welcome minors under the protection of the State and people on their way to integration. Alcohol is not permitted at the Centre.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES
Afternoons and weekends will be devoted to leisure activities. You will organise these with the activity leaders and will be asked to suggest activities. Some activities are essential: visiting Besançon, walking or cycling in the surrounding area, fun and intercultural activities, etc.
