If you want to live an experience of collective life, learn to cooperate, and discover other ways of living or other views on the world, then come to the Centre de Beaumotte, an association based around popular and non-formal education. Here in the countryside, you will share your daily life with youth from around the whole world and with different socioeconomic backgrounds. In our house we like to make our differences a treasure!

Work: The Centre de Beaumotte is a place of living that welcomes every year people from all around the world. It is a space of learning and experiments where everyone is invited to leave an imprint of their passage. During this workcamp, you will participate in different activities around the house for around 4h each morning. You will learn carpentry techniques to build small wooden furniture, paint rooms or take part in the permaculture garden. You will participate in the daily life tasks, like cooking and cleaning as well.

Accomodation and food: You will be accommodated in big collective tents in the garden which we will put up. You will sleep in bunk beds and will be separated by gender. Bring a warm sleeping bag and a pillow! You will have access to the bathrooms and showers of the house. There is a professional kitchen where you will cook in turn every day, guided by the coordinators. Here at Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week and fish once. It is not a problem to eat vegetarian or vegan if you wish to do so.
