SJ01 BOUGE TA BOGUE 14/04/15 – 23/04/15 TEEN RENO /SOC 16 vols 15-25

Project: Installation of a space to be used as a youth center. At the heart of the project “Bouge ta Bogue”; which is relevant to the local adolescent population and is organized by the association CITRUS, a public locale has been offered, allowing the local teenagers to create a space of their own to meet up and exchange ideas. The plans for the center will be drawn up, in advance, by the youth concerned by the project. The application, within the framework of an “international workcamp”, will enhance the project by bringing a fresh perspective and an intercultural influence.

Work: At the heart of a group comprising 8 local adolescents and 8 international volunteers, your job will, firstly, be to convert the space designated as the new youth center at Laguépie and secondly, you will be assigned the job of repainting the bedrooms of the municipal premises where you were welcomed at your arrival. You will have the opportunity to learn interesting renovation and construction techniques; using recycled materials amongst others.

Leisure activities: During the workcamp, you will have the possibility to discover the life of young people in rural France. You will also be participating in the cooking and preparation of collective meals, along with the organization of outings and the festivities celebrating the completion of the renovated venue.

SJ02 HIKING TRAILS 1 26/04/15 – 09/05/15 ENVI 12 vols 18+

Project: L’espace Randonnée (Hiking area) of the Pays du Buëch (www.buech-rando.com) brings together five communities from communes in the Hautes Alpes around a common objective: develop, invigorate and promote non-motorised hiking activities: pedestrian, bike tourism, VTT and horse riding, for the purposes of tourism and local development. In the face of extensive maintenance work required every year over the 1000 kilometres of trails, since 2010 l’espace Randonnée organises many international volunteer workcamps in partnership with the association Les Village des Jeunes (www.villagedesjeunes.org). This workcamp is an occasion for a true immersion in nature: it will allow you to discover the beautiful Hauts-Alpins countryside, its fauna and its flora. The proposed work is accessible to all but it involves walking in mountains every day to reach the site of the workcamp.

Work: This workcamp involves clearing bush from paths invaded by vegetation, cutting down trees, pruning or marking out the trails in the Rosanais sector. In this region lying next to the Drôme, the meeting of alpine and Mediterranean vegetation creates a diversity and surprisingly rich flora, whether it be in the wild or in the heart of the countryside. Every week, the group will move to different sections, a time to discover the countryside from different points of view.

Leisure activities: During free time, you will be able to go swimming in the Rosanais lake and in nearby rivers, carry out sporting activities and to organise international meals with the local inhabitants. During the weekends, touristic outings to discover the region may also be organised. For the enthusiasts of VTT and bike tourism, note that the session in May finishes with the “Buiscyclette”: a local sports event that takes place in a convivial and family atmosphere with numerous activities.

Accommodation: Camping

Location: Rosans (30km from Serres, 40km from Nyons, 200km from Marseille)

Closest train station: Serres

SJ03 ASPREMONT CASTEL 07/06/15 – 28/06/15 RENO 12 vols 18+

Project: In 2013, the town of Aspremont, a small locality of 320 residents located in the Buëch valley (Hautes-Alpes), bought the remains of a castle overlooking the town. Soon afterwards, a small group of residents formed with the shared purpose of creating places for walking and hosting outdoor cultural events. In order to encourage the local population to take part in this project, and given the extent of the work to be completed, the town approached les Villages des Jeunes to request that an international youth workcamp be put in place. Overlooking the village, on a promontory from which can be seen the entirety of Aspremont, the castle was probably built to control the routes from Sisteron, from Gap, and from the Cabre pass. The ruins that exist recall the architecture of the 16th century, but the first construction of the castle is thought have begun in the Middle Ages.

Work: This year's workcamp will focus on restoring one of the four original towers, which is for the most part in ruins. After having made improvements to the interior walls of the tower in order to install scaffolding, the task at hand will now be to remove stones in danger of falling and then to reintegrate them into the wall. This workcamp, completed under the instruction of an archaeological overseer will allow you to discover techniques of traditional masonry and built heritage conservation.

Leisure activities: Opportunities for meeting locals will be organized, and you will have the chance to take part in local events including the Aspremont village local celebration. During free time; you will be able to discover the small nearby villages and enjoy the surrounding nature with hikes, swimming and sporting activities. Sightseeing trips in the surrounding area will also be organized.

Accommodation: in tents, on a camp ground

Location: Aspremont (40 km from Sisteron, 35 km from Gap)
