Short term volunteering in Le Centre de Beaumotte
SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES MCP
Le Centre de Beaumotte
Beaumotte Aubertans, France
Description
Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) is a national movement of non-formal education and is composed of a National Secretary (Paris), and eight regional delegations across France. Our delegations host international volunteers throughout the year. Each regional delegation is unique, but all of the activities organized benefit the local community and share common ground: - gather people from different culture and social background to participate in social, ecological and cultural development. - contribute to the integration of people with fewer opportunities. Each project is dedicated to actions of solidarity and collective living. We believe that cultural exchanges are a key for personal learning and for the volunteer to experiment and undergo personal development.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The project is located in BEAUMOTTE, a small village in Franche Comté in the East of France. The site includes a big main house with outbuilding, and a vegetable garden. As a volunteer you will share a house with other volunteers or you will sleep in individual tents! It is of high importance to commit into daily life, as in a big house-share, because the house will look like its inhabitants, it's your home sweet home for a few weeks
Training during the activity
We work approximately 7 hours per day. Sometimes we are based in the house, but most of the time we work outside the house. The outside work could be: - Renovation of the local heritage(fountains, ancient wash-houses, etc.) - Preservation of the grounds - Renovation of the centre (masonry, carpentry, etc.) - Environmental projects ( gardening, etc.). - Woodcutting You can read the complete infosheet on our website: https://www.solidaritesjeunesses.org/volunteeringinfrance
