Who has never imagined gathering around a fire, surrounded by nature, to share simple moments, learn how to do things together, and experience collective life beyond the everyday routine? This time, it’s your turn we’re looking forward to bringing this project to life with you!
Surrounded by greenery and natural spaces, you will have the opportunity to help create a welcoming and sustainable meeting space designed for collective living and shared moments. This project promotes environmentally friendly practices, community living, and hands-on learning in a cooperative setting. Citrus welcomes you for a meaningful holiday, where everyone comes to experiment, learn, and grow, while developing awareness of social and environmental issues.
Supported by our facilitation team, you will stay in the heart of the village of Laguépie, on the Citrus association site, and share daily life with international volunteers living on site.
İş Tanımı
Immerse yourself in the Citrus site in Laguépie, where you will help develop a campfire area dedicated to gathering and social time, especially for shared moments such as evening activities.
Guided by a construction professional, you will learn how to design and build a collective space while taking into account its environment and uses. Step by step, you will take part in preparing the ground, installing structures, and crafting wooden elements that will shape this living space. These morning work sessions will allow you to gain practical skills, build autonomy, and become familiar with manual work.
In the association’s beautiful garden, you can also help maintain outdoor spaces and harvest seasonal fruits and vegetables, which will then be cooked for the group.
Taking turns and working together, you will also be involved in organizing daily collective life, especially through the kitchen team, where you will prepare seasonal meals for the whole group.
This project will be a great opportunity to meet young people from different countries, share daily life with international volunteers, exchange about your cultures, and enjoy convivial moments in a peaceful natural setting.
An enriching experience combining collective engagement, practical learning, and discovery of community-based living awaits you at Citrus!
