Eurochestries

CODE: SJ49

Work:

You will have several tasks: helping to organise local life, particularly by assisting with the organisation of festivities. You'll also help to organise concerts and contribute to community life. You'll be an integral part of the volunteer team and will be responsible for loading instruments and setting up stages, among other tasks. On average, you'll work between 5 and 6 hours a day.

Accomodation and food

Accommodation will be shared between the Maison des Bateleurs in Montendre and the Lycée de Pons boarding school. You will be welcomed at the Maison des Bateleurs at the start and end of the work camp, where meals will be prepared in turn by you, in particular for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes, as well as for vegetarians and vegans will be prepared).
When you sleep on the festival site, meals will be provided by the organisers.

Location and leisure

At the crossroads of some pretty little villages in the Charente, you'll be able to take full advantage of the local heritage. Visits to the region will be organised collectively according to your wishes, for example to the Château des Enigmes, the Domaine de Birius, etc. You'll also be able to discover local towns such as Cognac, Saintes and perhaps La Rochelle! Leisure time and local activities will give you the chance to meet the locals!

Project hosted by

Come and enjoy a unique experience as part of the organisation of an international touring classical music festival! The main aim of this festival is to encourage encounters between musicians from different countries, promote cultural exchange, and celebrate musical diversity. It's an enriching experience for participants, who have been able to share their passion for music while discovering new cultures for 35 years.
It's an artistic event in contemporary music, a source of development and dynamism, contributing to the cultural blossoming of this region. The international workcamp, at the heart of the festival, adds an intercultural dimension that is rich in artistic and intergenerational exchanges.

Directions to meeting point

The meeting point is at the Maison des Bateleurs in Montendre, which is accessible from Montendre station, on Monday July 28th, between 3 pm and 6 pm. The organisers will welcome you at the accommodation. All the information you need to get there will be in the project roadmap.
