| In Frankreich arbeiten wir mit den Organisationen Concordia (CONC), UNAREC (U), Compagnons Batisseurs France (CBF) und Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) zusammen. Es gibt eine sehr große Auswahl an Camps. Die Campsprache ist zwar meistens Englisch, da aber viele französische Teilnehmer anwesend sein werden, empfehlen wir eine Teilnahme nur mit Grundkenntnissen in Französisch! |
Es gibt auch einige rein französischsprachige Camps im Angebot, dies ist in den Beschreibungen vermerkt.
Für manche Workcamps von Concordia benötigst du ein Certificate for Scaffolding Work (= Arbeiten auf einem Gerüst). Dieses kannst du hier herunterladen.

Bulligny is a small village of Lorraine located on the side of a hill, in the southwest of the district of Meurthe-et-Moselle. Belonging to the chain of the Côtes de Meuse, Bulligny is near the departments of Meuse and Vosges. It is about ten kilometers from Toul, second town of Meurthe-et-Moselle and around 30km west of Nancy, the main city of the district.
The topography of Bulligny gives it a particular landscape, and floral and agricultural variety which can be divided in four main parts : the plain below, the plateau at the top and between them, the two parts of the slope of the hill : below a quite flat slope and at the top a strong slope. It is on these limestone hills that we find the vineyards producing the "Grey of Toul".
This village has been hosting the festival of today's music "Au fond du jardin du Michel" (meaning: at the back of Michel's garden) for years, which gathers every year several thousand visitors.

Frankreich U03 Festival "La Bouchure" 22.06.-06.07.2012 KIDS/FEST 10vols
French speaking camp!
Festival of La Bouchure: contemporary and eclectic music in rural France!
For the 7th consecutive year, the organisation "Les Bouchures" is happy to host international volunteers to help in the implementation of an amplified music festival. The “bouchure” designates locally the field hedge because one of the characteristic of this music festival is to be located in rural area and to be touring (moving from a village to another). On the program: 4 days of music festival in 4 villages & 70 local volunteers hosting around 10 music groups and 8000 spectators!
Be ready to live on the steady rhythm of this festival, to adapt yourself to the unexpected moments of these 4 happy days. In return, the workcamp will be rich in social and cultural discoveries : the members of the local association will introduce you to the region and to their passion for the 'contemporary music'. More information on the festival website: http://www.labouchure.com
You will live in the small town of Commentry in the heart of the Bourbonnais region in the Allier department. A former mining city, which today is a pleasant place for its 7.000 inhabitants as well as for the tourists. You will find shops, parks and will go around its rich heritage linked to its industrial past... you will have walks in the surrounding area (lakes, typical villages...). Around 15km from Montluçon, in a former mining and industrial region, the town still keeps the economical and social memory of the territory. Neighbour villages, involved in the festival, will allow you to discover built and natural heritage : Huds and its roman church, Malicornes and its conservation orchard, Colombier and its legendary spring…
WORK: You will participate in the implementation of the festival (which takes place from the 27th to the 30th of June): installation and dismantling of the performance sites (fences, stalls, bar, etc.), create and install arrows for itinerary, reception of the public, management of the refreshment and food stall... Because the festival is touring, this job has to be done each day: caution, the work rhythm is heavy during the 4 festival days! Free hand will be let to the group for sensitizing young people and families to auditary risks due to high level sounds: animations, strolling performances... almost everything is allowed! A training will be proposed and material provided (earplugs...). Good ideas and creative minds are welcome!
ACCOMODATION: In the village hall converted in dormitory room - kitchen right on site and showers five minutes walking from there (sport stadium's locker room).
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: French speaking camp!
