U01 Raw earth- ecoconstruction in MadOnArts 16/05-30/05/2015 envi/reno +18 8 vol.

The project: For 2 years, our regional organisation in the South West of France has been organisaing workcamps with the MadOnArts association. We have one main project on this eco-site: to restore and valorise the Raw Earth built heritage of the South of France. We will mainly restore the bakery oven of Noganets.

Works: In 2015, our work will be to finish the wall in 'pisé' which we started in 2014. The pisé is a technique of construction using rammed earth, like the 'bauge' (clay and straw mortar) or 'torchis' (wattle and daub). To use it, you create big wooden boxes. You press and compact earth with water in the boxes until you get a very compact mix.

You will work approximatively 6 hours a day with our technical leader.

COMPULSORY: For safety reasons and hygiene reasons, you need to bring your own safety shoes (first price safety shoes are enough) and working gloves.

Activities: You will work around 6 hours a day to restore the building. The rest of the time, the campleaders will offer several activities, entertainment and outings. It is expected of each of you an active involvement to develop and live comfortably the tasks of daily life (kitchen and camp maintenance...) as well as activities of cultural discovery. Be creative! You will experience a life group! This project is focusing on education to eco-citizenship through practices such as waste sorting, making a compost and the use of dry toilets. Eco-citizenship is a stakeholder in this little corner of paradise, the area of MadOnArts.

Location: The association MadonArts will welcome you in a small village called Noganets, which is part of the town of Puygaillard de Quercy, in the south West of France.

http://madonarts.blogspot.fr/p/blog-page.html This association organises workshops of personal development and permaculture in this very beautiful site.

Accommodation: In tents. (there will be a big room to sleep in case of rain) Pay attention that we try to be very respectful of the environment in MadOnArts. You will use and maintain dry toilets. There are showers near by the camping site.

Special Requirements: For the intercultural evening, bring gastronomic specialties from your country and pictures, music... Anything you want in order to present your country and culture. If you are a musician, bring your instrument! If you are an artist or and artisan, show us your beautiful skills!
