Help build an international ecological camping village!
In 1995, volunteers from our partner organization Solidarités Jeunesses founded 'Vir'Volt', a regional delegation in the Ile-de-France, the region around Paris. Every summer, Vir'Volt organizes international Workcamps and European youth meetings on its own premises or in the surrounding towns and villages.
For 3 years, Vir'Volt has been building a small camping village that will welcome young people from all over the world every year. They should get to know each other and learn from the differences, think and act together to protect the environment, but also get to know and support the environment and its people.
When?
April 14th-28th, 2025
What is the camp about?
Help build the wooden floor of the summer kitchen! Workshops on ecological cooking and training on local and organic cooking take place in the summer kitchen. In addition, according to the work done last month, the association's solar shower may need to be dismantled and moved to a new location in the village.
Please be aware: the construction of the eco-village is a participatory process, which means that you will adapt to the rhythm and participation of all volunteers, and plans may have to be adjusted due to rain or the delivery of various materials.
Vir'Volt's goal is to become completely eco-friendly and sustainable, which is reflected in the camping village: yurts and tipis as rooms, permaculture cultivation and gardening, water saving projects, waste prevention and reuse. This small village is intended to grow without affecting or damaging the environment, always looking for better and more environmentally friendly ways of living.
This project is funded as a volunteer team through the European Solidarity Corps.
This means that as a volunteer in this camp you will receive pocket money and a travel allowance for your trip from Germany to France. Participation in European Solidarity Corps projects is open to all young volunteers between the ages of 18 and 30, residing in a country participating in the program.
