Jr16/114 yolet– old foundry and new stone barbecue Aurillac 03/07-23/07/16 reno ,envi ,cons ,manu , age: 18-30. 12 vols

WORK: The goal of the workcamp is to give a new life to the old foundry discovered on the territory. For this, you will have to disassemble, to sort, to clean objects and stones. The land chosen to exhibit these remains is sloping, so earthworks will be useful. The municipality wants to make a porch with beautiful stones found on the site of the foundry, and to highlight the tools found there (bellows...) to give a new life to this forgotten foundry.

The group can also be divided into several work teams to also build an outdoor stone barbecue, near the village hall. Indeed, the municipality wants to promote beautiful stones currently unused, and an outdoor barbecue could be a great festive and convivial opportunity to meet locals and those who frequent the hall.

You will participate in the work with other international volunteers and technical supervisor will teach you specific techniques. The work takes place in the morning for 5 hours maximum. Afternoons and weekends are dedicated for activities.

ACCOMODATION: Volunteers will be accommodated in the village hall: in the wide hall there will be a sleeping and a dining area. Nearby are the changing rooms of the football field with all facilities (showers, toilets). Mattresses will be provided, please bring your sleeping bags and warm clothes. A budget and all the equipment necessary for cooking will be supplied (dishes...), you’ll cook in turn, by two people, and tables and chairs will be available to enjoy meals together. To be accommodated like this at the heart of the village and in a strategic place of the social and cultural life of the town (football field, playground nearby) will be for you a great way to build lasting relationships with locals. Jeunesse et Reconstruction can’t take care of the volunteers before the start date of the project.

LOCATION: Clermont-Ferrand is the prefecture of the department of Puy-de-Dome and capital of the Auvergne region. Partly for historical reasons, the city is often called Clermont. The modern city was born of a union of two separate cities, Clairmont and Montferrand imposed by Louis XIII and confirmed under Louis XV. While Montferrand was founded in the early twelfth century by the Counts of Auvergne, on the model of Southwest towns, Clairmont is much older, as it existed in ancient times. The oldest mention of the existence of Clairmont appears in the work of Strabo, in the early first century. Clermont is located in the Massif Central, at 410 metres above sea level. To the west, the city is dominated by basaltic plateau (900m on average) with the chain of Puys, the largest chain of volcanoes (extinguished) in Europe, including the Puy de Dome, the most famous volcano. To the east of the metropolitan area reaches the plain of Limagne, with river Allier. The city is both a point of contact between the plain Limagne and Mountains of Domes. A large part of the city occupies a volcanic hill called the central plateau. It is, in fact, the edge of the crater, one hundred fifty six thousand years old. It is approximately 1,5 km in diameter and has been filled by the alluvium of the Tiretaine, small river running through the city. Clermont is also built on the edge of the valley of Allier. The city has developed around this central plateau on which stands the cathedral, extending to the east in the plain, and to a lesser extent, on the hillsides to the west. www.ot-clermont-ferrand.fr/ requirements
