Petit Résumé en Anglais

What will you do?

In a work camp, volunteers are expected to work around 30 hours a week on activities that should serve the local community or benefit the environment. This usually involves cooperative labour in rural or urban areas, that doesn’t require any particular skills. Local inhabitants often take part in the projects. You can spend your free time relaxing, preparing meals and talking, and on activities and excursions with other volunteers and the local community.

You should be prepared to live and work in a communal environment, where living conditions are often simple and work can be strenuous but fun and rewarding. Food and accommodation are usually provided, so you will need money only to cover your travel costs, the application fee to the sending organisation, and some pocket money.
