Act for ecological transition and heritage restoration

Activity description

The Union Régionale REMPART Grand Est is a member of REMPART, a national union of 200 local associations that preserve and promote heritage throughout France and beyond. Most of them organise volunteer camps or training courses to offer heritage restoration projects to everybody. More than 3.500 French and foreign volunteers are involved each year in its activities! More information on : https://www.rempart.com/en/ Our association supports the 19 member associations of REMPART network located in the northeast of France. The ecological transition is a priority topic to us; we want to reduce the impact of our actions on the environment. To achieve this goal, your mission will be to raise awareness of environmental issues among local volunteers and project participants. You will also advise the 19 associations in the Great East on what they could implement to reduce their impact, and create tools and documents to help them. You will be paired with a French volunteer.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

You will be welcomed in the town of Vaucouleurs where the offices of the association are located, which you will share with the employees and volunteers of the association. Individual accommodation will be available in the city centre. The town of Vaucouleurs has all the shops and essential services (food stores, health services, etc.). Vaucouleurs is a small rural town of 2,000 people. You have to be prepared to live in the countryside. There is not much public transport but someone from the team can drop you off at the station if necessary. You will receive an allowance for meals.

Training during the activity

Your training will be carried out on arrival and throughout your mission by the employee in charge and the other volunteers. You will participate in various training actions outside the structure according to the date of your arrival (climate fresk...).
