About the local hosting organization

Notre partenaire local gère un projet exceptionnel situé dans un village médiéval reconstitué près de Chepstow, dans le Monmouthshire, au Pays de Galles. Cette région du sud-est du Pays de Galles, frontalière de l'Angleterre, est réputée pour sa vallée de la Wye, classée « Zone de beauté naturelle exceptionnelle », et ses nombreux châteaux historiques.

Depuis le milieu des années 1980, notre partenaire se consacre à la restauration de ce site de plus de six hectares pour lui redonner son apparence du début du XVIIe siècle. L'objectif est de préserver ce patrimoine unique et de créer une ressource éducative vivante pour les visiteurs, en particulier les groupes scolaires. Le domaine comprend une trentaine de parcelles qui ont été réaménagées selon leur usage historique : prairies de fauche, pâturages, bois, terres arables, jardins et vergers.

Presentation of the programme

Ce projet de trois semaines propose une immersion unique dans l'histoire et la conservation du patrimoine. La contribution des volontaires permettra de maintenir l'authenticité du site et d'enrichir l'expérience des futurs visiteurs.

Semaines 1 et 2 : restauration et préparation

• Les deux premières semaines sont consacrées à la restauration du paysage agricole. Cette année, les tâches principales incluront l'achèvement de la construction d'un abri à bois et la réparation de portails (principalement des travaux de menuiserie). Les volontaires participeront également à la préparation du site pour l'événement de reconstitution, notamment par le débroussaillage des sentiers.

Semaine 3 : immersion dans l'histoire vivante

• La dernière semaine, le site accueillera son grand événement annuel de reconstitution historique (« Living History ») pour les écoles locales. Les volontaires rejoindront une quarantaine d'experts bénévoles en costume d'époque qui feront revivre la vie rurale de l'année 1599. Pour cette expérience immersive, les volontaires recevront un costume d'époque et collaboreront étroitement avec un petit groupe d'experts locaux sur une activité spécifique. 
  

Local accommodation

L'hébergement est rustique, offrant une expérience authentique et immersive de la vie au XVIIe siècle. Les volontaires dorment sous tente au cœur du site historique. Des toilettes sèches sont disponibles sur place. Il n'y a ni eau courante ni installations modernes, et l'eau chaude est limitée. Des visites régulières à la piscine locale seront organisées pour permettre à chacun de prendre une douche.

Special info about the food

Les repas sont préparés en commun sur des feux de camp, une expérience qui fait partie intégrante de l'aventure. La nourriture fournie est simple mais nourrissante, adaptée à la vie en plein air. Ce sera également l'occasion de découvrir des spécialités locales, comme les « Welsh cakes » (gâteaux gallois), lors des sorties dans les environs.

About the project location

Le projet se situe à environ 8 kilomètres de Chepstow, dans le comté verdoyant du Monmouthshire, au sud-est du pays de Galles. Cette région rurale offre un cadre paisible et authentique, caractérisé par des collines douces, des forêts anciennes et des paysages agricoles typiques de la campagne galloise. À proximité se trouve la vallée de la Wye, l’une des plus belles régions naturelles du Royaume-Uni, réputée pour ses panoramas spectaculaires et sa biodiversité. Chepstow, petite ville historique située à la frontière entre l’Angleterre et le pays de Galles, possède un riche patrimoine médiéval, notamment avec son imposant château surplombant la rivière Wye. 

About the leisure activities possible

Pendant leur temps libre, les participants peuvent profiter de nombreuses activités de découverte et de détente. La région se prête particulièrement bien à la randonnée, avec de nombreux sentiers traversant forêts, collines et rives de la Wye. Il est également possible de pratiquer le vélo, l’observation de la faune et de la flore ou encore des activités nautiques comme le canoë dans la vallée. La visite de Chepstow permet de découvrir son château, ses marchés locaux et ses cafés traditionnels. Les environs offrent aussi la possibilité d’explorer des sites naturels remarquables, des villages pittoresques ou des jardins historiques. 

Requirements

Notre partenaire recherche des volontaires ouverts d'esprit, motivés par la vie en communauté et désireux de participer activement à un projet porteur de sens. Une bonne capacité d'adaptation et un intérêt pour l'échange interculturel sont essentiels.

About the meeting point

Les détails précis concernant le point de rencontre seront communiqués aux volontaires après la confirmation de leur inscription.

About the local hosting organizationOur association was established in 2004 by highly qualified researchers working in the field of social sciences, with the aim that by researching the social changes and problems that can be observed in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary, the organization contributes to the management of these problems and thereby to the development of a knowledge-based society. We have participated in many local, regional and specific researches, we have joined the scientific and political discourse at the domestic and international level. In the course of our operation, we have established strong partnership relations with municipalities and professional organizations (chambers, government offices and their administrative bodies, civil and church-run organizations). After a few years our scope of activities expanded to include youth, education and business development. We have implemented numerous domestic and international projects in these areas in recent years. Our employees participate in youth development, curriculum development. We have also participated in the founding of social enterprises. Since 2009 we have been operating the "Ötletfa" school, where the competence development of 26 young people, mostly Roma, is currently taking place. Previously we were active implementers of volunteer hosting projects also within the framework of EVS. Our experience shows that hosting international volunteers represents a serious development opportunity for all participating actors.

A tevékenység megvalósítása komoly szakmai és lelki fejlődést is jelent a részt vevő külföldi önkéntesek számára. Szeretnénk, ha kölcsönösen tudnánk újat mutatni egymásnak a hátrányos helyzetű emberek felemelését célzó módszertanok területén.

The association pursues the mentioned purposes through two main fields of action. 1. Social voluntary work.

For several years we have specialised our activities on the issues of social inclusion, involving NEET participants and unemployed young people, young migrants, young people with sensory disabilities, and young offenders in probation period. Over the years, the association has managed numerous international projects in Italy and other European countries, within the "Youth in Action" programmes ("4.3 - Training and networking of operators active in youth work and youth organizations", and "4.6 - Partnership"), "Erasmus Plus" (Key Action 1 - Mobility of Youth and Youth Workers; Key Action 2 - Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good Practices, Capacity Building in the Field of Youth; Key Action 3 - Support for Political Reforms, Civil Society Cooperation: Youth Sector), Daphne III, and "Europe for Citizens".
