Description: The Cultural Association of Boquen organizes meetings in different places on social themes and concerns that challenge us. Secular and independent from denominations in its approach, the association is enriched by philosophical reflections. It offers events that encourage reflection, alongside manual activities and artistic expression that support personal growth, connection with others, and a deeper bond with nature.
Type of Work: The plan is to create an environmental discovery trail on the 8,000 m² site. In addition, a small stone house dating from the 16th century will be renovated. Volunteers will also carry out lime pointing of the old stone walls as part of the restoration work.
Accommodation: You will be accommodated in a dormitory. Therefore, you must bring your sleeping bag and a pillow case with you. There are showers, toilets, a living room and a kitchen. Wifi is available on site.
Food will be prepared by volunteers with local members of the association. Volunteers will also help with washing-up and cleaning.
Language: English will be the main language for exchanges and instructions, but volunteers will have the option to use other languages for communication. Additionally, some local volunteers will speak French. All languages are welcome!
Requirements: Bring warm and light clothes but also a hat and rain gear. Walking shoes can be ideal for your free time visits, and a bathing suit for a weekend at the sea. You must bring work gloves and waterproof shoes, the rest of the equipment will be provided.
Approximate Location: Location of the worksite: Cultural Association of Boquen in Saint-Mayeux in Brittany.
