Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
In the heart of an impressive mountain cirque in the French Alps, the hamlet of Vaunières rises on a vast, gently sloping plain. Surrounded by large stone buildings, meadows, and forests, the village welcomes people of various cultures, ages, and social backgrounds, creating a unique atmosphere. Purchased in ruins in the 1960s by the association Les Villages des Jeunes, the site has been entirely renovated and is now a vibrant place of life, animated by events and the multiple local and international connections forged there. Vaunières has become a place for meeting, working, and sharing, where everyone can enjoy both the calm of the mountains and the dynamic energy that emanates from the site. Today, the site lives thanks to a team of employees working on site maintenance, groups of volunteers, tourists, passing hikers, and enthusiasts. Roll up your sleeves and join us on the workcamp and in our collective living spaces!

Description of work:
You will work on preserving the facades of the Hôtellerie building, located in the hamlet of Vaunières. This stone facade is currently covered with an insulation layer and a very damaged coating. You will be responsible for preparing the facades for traditional lime-based work, repointing the stones with mortar, and then applying the bonding coat. A local craftsman will guide you through the different phases of the project. Some tasks will involve working on scaffolding. Every day, other site maintenance activities will be proposed, as well as meal preparation for the team. The menu will be defined in advance. You will work on the site every morning, from Monday to Friday. Generally, the work involves masonry, tool and meal preparation, as well as organizing and managing collective life.
