Description de l’activité

We are looking for 2 volunteers to help in different activities related to sustainability, permaculture, eco-building and resilience. Volunteers will have the chance to learn how to set the bases for a sustainable land, help with animals and plants, help in the maintenance of the place, food and shopping logistics, animations in schools, build with wood...Of course there are also the community lifestyle tasks and the sustainable and green practices of each day. With this project, we aim to promote commitment, ledearship, autonomy and resilience in order to make our daily life more ethical. The current crises (health, environmental and social) require us to think about how within our daily lives we must promote respect for the environment and living together. The team of volunteers will experience a quality intercultural learning and an openness to the world, having the chance to free themselves from judgements.

Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport

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. 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 take turns to cook healthy and low-impact food! following the food guidelines.

Formation pendant l’activité

The volunteers will be supported by our staff of professionals, who will guide them in order to achieve a succesfull accomplishment of the tasks. Although the development of activities is done in autonomy. Feedback and communication are very important to do the activities and achieve objectives as a team. There will also be workshops proposed both from IDC and the volunteers, about sustainability, low-impact food, zero waste, DIY, climate change, resilience, personal development...
