The municipality of Roye, an historical partner of Concordia, which used to host our local office, has decided to reconnect with volunteer workcamps in 2022. The municipality is keen to welcome young internationals in its commune and prepares activities throughout the stay for you.
İş Tanımı
In the heart of the town of Roye, the ancient ramparts bear witness to a rich past…but time has left its mark. Why not take part in restoring them to their former glory? This historic site is a must-see for locals, and with your help, it will regain its beauty!
Your mission? Clean and remove vegetation from the ramparts, then repair and repoint the damaged sections using basic masonry techniques. No experience is needed: you will learn everything on site with the support of the technical team. Beyond the manual work, you will also help promote this heritage site by sharing its history with local people and taking part in activities that bring the place back to life.
Get ready for a warm welcome from the people of Roye! An opening ceremony with the city hall, meetings with local residents and activities with beneficiaries of the Local Social Action Centre (CCAS) will be part of your stay. On top of that, many events will be organized by the town during the project, including a famous… foam party!
A unique experience combining heritage, learning, community life and fun for an unforgettable workcamp!
Konaklama ve Yemek
You will be hosted in individual tents next to the village hall Guy Marechal equipped with a kitchen, and set up as a living space for your visit . Showers and toilets will be available in the rest room of the stadium in front of the living area.
Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you will take part in grocery shopping and meal preparation, with a focus on healthy and locally sourced products.

The charming town of Roye, located in the eastern part of the Somme department, is ready to welcome you, as you’ll discover its rich heritage and natural surroundings. During your stay, you can explore the local sports clubs with activities like archery or water polo, as well as take part in the many events organized by the town.
A visit to Amiens is also planned, where you can admire its famous Gothic cathedral and the unique “hortillonnages”, the floating gardens that are a highlight of the region. The first week will end with a fun and lively foam party in the town center!
For some free-time relaxation, the swimming pool is just a short walk from the accommodation, and the town will likely provide unlimited access—so don’t forget your swimsuit!

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as closed shoes. As you will sleep under a tent, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a sleeping mat for more comfort.
Don't forget your bathing suit in case you go swimming. You can also bring specialties from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this site, either with the local population or with the group!
