Presentation of the program

For several years, projects have been organised in Port-de-Bouc to restore Raymond Morales' sculptures. This year, volunteers are embarking on a cycling tour between the town of Port-de-Bouc and Catalonia to discover the artist's Catalan origins. The group will transport pieces of the artist's work to be exhibited in different towns along the itinerary and will participate in events with the local population to present the sculptor, his history and his work, particularly during the Heritage Days. The first three days will be devoted to preparing for the journey, then the volunteers will alternate between days of travel, averaging 50 km (from 30 to 85 km), days promoting the project and the artist, and discovering the local heritage. In Gruissan, volunteers will carry out a small work project to restore and promote a piece of art by a local sculptor, alongside a technical supervisor. You will woron cleaning and promoting a piece of art and learn how to maintain metal material.

About the accommodation

The group will be accommodated in individual tents (provided), on camping sites or in areas provided by local municipalities. The group will have access to sanitary facilities and showers. On one of the stages, accommodation will be in a hotel with shared rooms. Each day, a pair of volunteers will join the vehicle with one of the campleaders and will be responsible for reaching the next location to prepare the campsite and a collective living space before the group arrives, as well as going shopping on a budget and preparing meals giving priority to healthy, local produce.

The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
