Come and experience a total disconnection in a small village in Normandy!
This is the first year of Concordia’s partnership with the town of Chicheboville.
The elected officials wish, by hosting this workcamp, to energize the commune, to set up a European and intercultural project for the inhabitants and to enhance the local heritage.
Chicheboville has a church, which has been closed to the public for many years due to the deterioration of the building. This year, you will start the restoration of the church!
Your mission will be to restore a facade of the village church: staking of the mortar, repointing with lime mortar (masonry technique for old buildings). You will be accompanied by competent camp leaders throughout the project to help you step by step in the learning of these techniques!
Everyone to the adventure! You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat), and will be directly connected with nature. You will stay in front of the church, on a site specially built for this workcamp. The kitchen and the living space will be set up in the village hall, 3 minutes’ walk from the camp. The toilets and showers will be set up on the camp. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare the meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of the meals, by privileging the healthy and local products, and to exchange your recipes if you wish it.
You will not have access to WIFI however internet connexion is doable through mobile data or French volunteers and camp leaders’ hotspots. Handwashing of laundry.
Chicheboville is a French town located in the Calvados department in the Normandy region, in the West of France. It is located 25km south-east of Caen, the regional dynamic city. You will have a minibus at your disposal therefore you will be able to collectively organise outings in the nature, by the sea, or in touristic hotspots of the region such as the seaside town of Deauville or the famous Mont Saint-Michel.
This is the first year of partnership between Concordia and the commune of Chicheboville.
The commune will host for the first time an international work camp. The inhabitants are very involved to make you discover the Norman culture and a remarkable heritage. They will be very happy to exchange with people from all over the world. Exchanges between locals and volunteers are guaranteed: be sure to be won over by the warm atmosphere of the town!
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
Beware, you will be required to work at height, on scaffolding. Remember to take good shoes and work clothes that do not fear dirt. Don't forget to bring warm clothes for the cold and rain, a sleeping mat and a good warm sleeping bag: the nights can be chilly in Normandy. Don't hesitate to bring back home specialties, photos, games, musical instruments, etc.
