INITIATIVE ET DEVELOPPEMENT CITOYEN

Cur síos
We are looking for 1 mushroom lover, who will work in this circular economy project called Café Vert! This project started years ago, with formation and lots of experimentation, and since 2020, our ESC volunteers are part of this experience. Our cooperative IDC's projects aim to raise awareness about the actual context we are living and to propose and create solutions to be part of a positive change in a social, cultural and environmental aspect. In this project especifically, we will reuse waste to create new life. We collect coffee waste from cafés and restaurants and mix it with mycellieum to grow oyster mushrooms. The volunteer for this mission will take care of the fruiting room and the mushrooms hospital at the eco-land, by monitoring their growth, harvest and sell them in a local market. And after harvesting, we use that new “waste” in our earth-worm farm, which is great to create new and rich soil for plants. Also, the volunteer will help in the animal care and other tasks!!
Socruithe lóistín, bia agus iompair
IDC is located in a small town, 20km from Carcassonne where the nearest train station and airport are (the volunteers will be picked from there and will be taken to the place). This region is rural, living mainly from wine farming and tourism. The place is surrounded by nature, so no shops. Accomodation: volunteers will stay in mobile homes, in shared-rooms, usually with another volunteer of the same sex. Food will be bought twice per month, and volunteers will cook healthy and low-impact food! following the food guidelines.
Oiliúint le linn na gníomhaíochta
Volunteers will learn how to grow mushrooms from coffee waste (from the collection step to the selling of the products), how to maintain a fruiting room and harvest correctly, how to participate in local markets, and they will learn different sustainable practices to be more ethical and respectful with the environment. They will be able to lead them after or to propose new ideas/projects around sustainability, local and organic agriculture, intercultural exchange...
