Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
For the fourth time, Etudes et Chantiers will welcome you in the heart of Fosse Maussoin's park in Clichy-sous-Bois. This nature case is now listed "Natura 2000". It's a place to create, to experiment and to share where, every saturday afternoons, group activities are organised in order to cogitate and to open its eyes and ears !
Close to the forest, with en incredible view over cities, we find :
- an open greenhouse : to do seedlings and do swap
- a mandala and a pedagogical space : to learn how to cultivate respetfully
- an experimental space : to create and try some new methods about gardening
- a biodiversity space : to observe and make a special attention to insects
- a space to relax : to have a lunch, take a break or read
- the "leaf-mossoin" : to cultivate its own small garden.
Every summer, organisations are here to fill with life the park and propose doing activities !
During the last sessions, volunteers have done the greenhouse construction, the relax space, and the revegetation of a container. Thanks again to them for their work !
By participating in this workcamp, you are interested about sustainable cities and communities (SDG11) and Life on Land (SDG15).
Work:
Would you like to help build a bread oven? This project will complete the installation of the outdoor kitchen that was built last year. You will be supervised by a technical instructor who will guide you through all stages of construction and teach you their expertise in design and masonry. The bread oven will be built with bricks and terracotta. It will be used to bake bread, pizzas, and other dishes. You will learn traditional construction techniques, such as bricklaying and terracotta work. You will have the opportunity to work as a team and meet new people!
