Project: For several years, the city of Riom has been organizing the festival “My summer in Cerey”. The main aim of this event is to offer free activities to those who don’t go on holiday. The or- ganization is very family-friendly and keeps values of the non-formal education movement: “meeting” and “sharing”, in mind. For ten days, sport, recreational and cultural activities will be run by the city of Riom and local associations. This year, “My summer in Cerey” will take place from July 6th to July 17th. For the second year, an international work camp will partici- pate in the organization of this festival. The activities will take place everyday between 2pm and 7pm. You will be able to fully enjoy this event and spend plenty of time with the local population. Work: You will be present before the festival starts in order to help set up the site. You will build wooden furniture to welcome the public and put up pergolas from kits provided by the car- pentry workshop. You will make the decorations and information panels about sustainable development for the festival. During the festival, you will be in charge of welcoming people and running activities like the zip line, trampoline or inflatable attractions, but you don’t have to worry; you will be taught how to handle these responsibilities. Lastly, you will help take down the structures after the end of the festival. This work camp needs a great deal of com- mitment on behalf of the volunteers as the festival takes place during ten days. Accommodation: You will be housed in the Pierre Robin stadium, which is a 5 minute walk from the festival and 10 minutes from the town centre. You will sleep in two-person tents and group life will take place in a marquee. A kitchen, changing rooms, showers and indoor toilets are available on the stadium premises. The stadium will be entirely reserved for the work camp.
