Two weeks to create a bike repair center!

Περιγραφή της δραστηριότητας

Do you like cycling? Do you like to craft? Thanks to its many volunteers, the local organization Dynamo has already created several Bike Centers in and around Nancy. These Bike Centers are designed to allow learning and sharing of cycle repair experience. Within the workshop, members have free access to tools and mechanical advice. The idea of these Workshops is also to enable the collection and repair of second-hand bicycles, and to promote green travel. A few months ago, a group of volunteers came together to create and lead a new bike repair center in Jarville-la-Malgrange. For that, they need you! With a dozen other European volunteers, and technical supervisors, you will have two weeks to set up a workshop in the old Jarville trainstation. On the program: Discovery and visit of other Bike Centers; Construction of furniture (shelves, workbenches...), painting, landscaping (compost, revegetation, sign...) and animation in Jarville to make known the new Bike Center.

Διαμονή, διατροφή και έξοδα μετακίνησης

You will be accommodated in a solid building, with access to sanitary facilities and a kitchen. Remember to bring a mattress and a sleeping bag, as there are no beds in the rooms. You can install your mattresses wherever you want, with the possibility of setting up single-sex dormitory spaces. All aspects of collective life (shopping, preparing meals, cleaning) will be managed by the volunteers themselves, on the basis of an operation that they will have decided on together (e.g. use planning, formation of pairs, etc.). They will be helped in this task by a community facilitator.

Κατάρτιση κατά τη δραστηριότητα

You will be able to make proposals and decisions about the work to be carried out, and thus become an actor/actress of the project. This workcamp will also be an opportunity for you to discover bicycle mechanics and educational materials to pass on this know-how. There is no need to have skills in bicycle mechanics or other technical skills to come to this site: everyone is welcome! This workcamp can also allow you to improve your level of English and/or French, to learn how to manage community life and to live an intercultural experience.

Προφίλ συμμετέχοντος

This workcamp is open to everyone (regardless of gender, age, nationality...) with the unfortunately exception of people with reduced mobility, as the work site is not accessible to wheelchairs. If you need support in your country to register and prepare your trip, it is possible, do not hesitate to ask us by email. The only condition to participate is your motivation! Explain to us in your cover letter what drives you to apply for this action: we are interested!
