Join the Citrus association's major project and help renovate the future international reception center in Laguépie. For over ten years, international volunteers have been building, renovating, imagining and giving shape to a large-scale project.
On the heights of the village of Laguépie, the Citrus association is a place of sharing and encounters, where young people from all over the world come to contribute to the renovation and fitting-out of the international welcome center. Since 2012, the association's buildings have been located in the former hamlet of La Mayounelle: offices, a communal living space and an activity room, all surrounded by fields, a green theater and a vegetable garden. Accompanied by experienced leaders, you'll live at the heart of the association and share daily life with the Citrus team and other volunteers on site.
İş Tanımı
For this job, you'll be able to take a 360° tour of the garden! The tour begins with the development of the site, a crossroads of international cultures and gardening. To showcase these cultures and your own, you'll take part in the construction of a wooden book hut. Once completed, you'll have fun decorating it to your heart's content. The aim? To create a collection of books of all genres and in all languages to leave a trace of your passage and pass on your stories to new participants. So don't hesitate to bring along your favorite books and share them with your future worksite friends.
What's more, we're counting on you to create a small stone path that will mark out the 4 corners of our garden. The path takes you to the vegetable garden. Here, you'll be able to harvest vegetables ready to be eaten and take part in processing them. Maybe you'll be able to prepare some tasty dishes!
Finally, if construction has progressed well, you'll have the chance to make "low-tech" tools that can be used to create cultural activities in our garden.
So, are you ready to set the scene for your garden tour?
