YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME ROYE

CODE: CONCF-28002-TEEN

Project and work

In the heart of Roye, the ancient ramparts bear witness to a rich past...but time has left its mark. This historic site is a must-see for locals, and with your help, it will regain its beauty!
Your mission? Clean and remove vegetation from the ramparts, then repair and repoint the damaged sections using basic asonry techniques. Beyond the manual work, you will also help promote this heritage site by sharing its history with local people and taking part in activities that bring the place back to life.

Accommodation and food

You will be hosted in individual tents next to the village hall Guy Maréchal equipped with a kitchen, and set up as a living space for your visit. Showers and toilets will be available in the rest room of the stadium in front of the living area. Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you will take part in grocery shopping and meal preparation, with a focus on healthy and locally sourced products.

Location and leisure

Get ready for a warm welcome from the people of Roye! An opening ceremony with the city hall, meetings with local residents and activities with beneficiaries of the Local Social Action Centre (CCAS) will be part of your stay. On top of that, many events will be organized by the town during the project, including a famous... foam party! For some free-time relaxation, the swimming pool is just a short walk from the accommodation, and the town will likely provide unlimited access—so don’t forget your swimsuit!

Partner

The municipality of Roye, an historical partner of Concordia, which used to host our local office, has decided to reconnect with volunteer workcamps in 2022. The municipality is keen to welcome young internationals in its commune and prepares activities throughout the stay for you.

Additional comments

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as closed shoes. As you will sleep under a tent, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a sleeping mat for more comfort.
Don't forget your bathing suit in case you go swimming. You can also bring specialties from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this site, either with the local population or with the group!
