Regular Outgoing: France (MTV ST Rome, 2nd April and the 4th May 2012)

Our partners from France, Concordia France, already renew their project information. Now their project for Middle Term Volunteering is open. Please check this information:

WHAT kind of the program?

Middle Term Volunteering projects, 5 weeks (1 month).

WHERE are the projects?

Saint ROME du TARN, South of France

WHAT are the projects?

Environmental, working on old canals for irrigation. The project aim is to offer a human and professional experience to volunteers who are ready to participate in a special project. The main idea is to work in the village, on an environmental project in the beautiful village of Saint Rome du Tarn. The purpose is to restore and fit out some canals for the irrigation of many gardens that’s belong to some inhabitants of the village.

You will be in south of France, in a rural place in the natural regional park “Les Grands Causses” in the typical area “le Larzac”. The bigger city Millau is at around25 km, Montpellieris at 120 km and Toulouse at 170 km. You’re going to stay for 5 weeks in a beautiful place, living in a mobil home with the rest of the group in the village.

You will have a few questions to ask yourself:

• Do you enjoy living and working in a group?
• Do you like to perform manual work and to work outside?
• Do you enjoy contacts with people?
• Do you have enough autonomy to work and live by yourself?

Of course, if you have a personal project, Pézenas office team will make all the efforts to help you to realise it.

You will have to do some masonry in order to restore canals. Now, they are old and a big part of the water does not stay in the canals but go away so the gardeners don’t have all the water they need. In fact you will do different works with various techniques. First, you will have to prepare the restoration of the canals by cleaning some vegetation and doing some excavation. After that, you will have to do some basic masonry. You will work around 30 hours per week in the morning and in the afternoon according with the village organisation and your own organisation.

Practical information:

ACCOMMODATION: You will live in a mobil home with a kitchen to make your own meals, a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. St Rome du Tarn is a little village (700 habitants) in the Aveyron not too far from Millau (25 kilometres). You can see this place on the mail with the address http://www.vivreaupays.fr/communes/com77.htm . You will make your own cooking together with the rest of the group in the kitchen of your place. Some times, French volunteers will join you for few days. You will have to bring boots to work in a humid place and working clothes.

POCKET MONEY: 40 € per week during the entire project.

FOLLOWING: Concordia will have some tutors during the entire project. There will be some technical tutors from the town. There will be also one other tutor from Concordia helping you to organise your everyday life. He will not be all the time with you and that’s why we need some volunteers motivated with autonomy.

INSURANCE: You will be covered during the time at work, but you need medical insurance. Bring your European insurance card if you are coming from European Union countries or a medical insurance if you come from outside EU.

FREE TIME/LEISURE: There are many exciting places to visit around Saint Rome du Tarn and in the Aveyron witch is very well-known for its heritage, its patrimony like castles, churches, etc. There are also many possibilities to see beautiful country landscapes all around. If you want to, you can also meet wonderful people in Concordiaoffice (and their friends). We have some associative meetings and the volunteers will be welcomed.
