Letter to the volunteers

To come to a workcamp in France means, first of all, to make the choice of “discovering”: discovering a culture in which you are going to be fully integrated; discovering of a new language; discovering intercultural learning in a group of volunteers coming from all parts of the world; discovering of a region…

Jeunesse et Reconstruction was created in 1948 and, since then, it has never stopped promoting the idea of another way of travelling. The organization has its head office in Paris, and regional offices in , Midi- Pyrénées and Rhône Alpes. Since its creation, it has hosted more than 100 000 volunteers on workcamps or on long term volunteering programmes.

The aim of a workcamp is to promote volunteering through a community service project in the municipality which is going to host you, but also to promote respect, exchange and tolerance through intercultural and intergenerational exchanges. The work that has to be done is thus central in the set up of a workcamp and its completion guarantees the recognition of the group within the community. Depending on the type of workcamp, the work can be: the renovation or restoration of a monument/building, the maintenance of « green spaces », the protection of the environment, a social or a cultural project… Then, we are not talking of usual tourist holidays any longer: you are going to be integrated in the French culture and its diversity; as a consequence, you will make a significant and enriching experience. Moreover, the volunteers who come to a workcamp come from different countries, different backgrounds, and their age can be different too (from 17 to 30 years old) : they are not only students but all of them want to share they culture.

A workcamp is thus a space and a time for exchanges and encounters for the volunteers, but it is also the result of an important partnership between our organization, the municipality that is hosting the camp and different structures such as the district and regional councils or the Youth and Sports ministry. The funding of a workcamp is done by those different structures as a policy promoting open-mindedness and intercultural learning. The camps mainly take place in rural areas, and consequently, the aim is to meet foreign cultures, for those people who cannot travel abroad, and to mobilise the volunteers around a common project which is useful to the community.

The group will be managed by a « camp leader »: he/ she is not a paid staff of our organisation but a volunteer, just like you, who has chosen to get more involved in order to federate the workcamp volunteers: he/she will be in charge of the management of the group, of the food budget and of the free time activities but he/she will always be ready to listen to your suggestions because initiatives are always welcome and strengthen the team spirit of the group, particularly concerning free time activities. The team leader will expect a personal involvement from you and also some help in the daily life and chores. He/She is also the representative of our organisation towards the different actors: municipality, funding partners, local organisations...etc.

You have chosen to make the experience of a workcamp organised by Jeunesse et Reconstruction consequently you are making a commitment and that is why we expect from you:

1) At work: 4 ______

- To respect the work timetables and schedules defined with the village/city municipality and to adapt to the difficulties inherent to every workcamp. - To follow the safety regulations in order to protect yourself and to protect the other members of the group from any accident, - To wear appropriate clothes for working, - To take good care of the materials and tools, - To respect the environment in which you are going to work, - To involve yourself so that the work is finished at the end of the camp.

2) In the daily life of the group and during the free time activities:

- To respect the culture of the other volunteers and of all the people you are going to meet during the camp. - To get involve in the daily life of the group through the free time activities and the daily chores, - To respect the accommodation premises and equipment (kitchen, bathroom….) - To adapt to the living conditions of the camp because they may be very different from what you are used to live in (tents, school rooms, etc…) and to accept simple living conditions. Moreover, workcamps are usually located in quite isolated rural areas. - To follow the regulations concerning the consumption of alcohol: no excess will be accepted, please be responsible and adult. The use of any drug is prohibited in France, and thus fully prohibited on the workcamp. - To give life to the group: indeed, the success of a workcamp lies in the personal involvement of all the volunteers : initiatives are welcome and they allow better exchanges. - To make sure you will be present from the starting date till the ending date of the camp in order not to disturb the group, but above all in order to respect the hosting municipality. - To follow the advice of the camp leader for the well-being of the group.

The involvement is thus important but it will guarantee the success of your experience and, above all, the quality of the exchanges during the workcamp.

We remind to read carefully the infosheet of your workcamp. Please pay attention to the remarks giving you advice on what to bring for the workcamp. Particularly, be careful to the necessity of bringing good shoes for work (for safety) and a sleeping bag (in case you do not bring it, we cannot provide one and you will have to buy one).

Have a nice workcamp and enjoy it! The Jeunesse et Reconstruction staff and team
