If you want to live an experience of collective life, to learn to cooperate and to discover other ways of living or other views on the world, then come to the “Centre de Beaumotte”, an association based around public education where we await you with enthusiasm. Here in the country side you ll 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: Our association is a place of life that welcomes people from all walks of life every year. This space for learning and experimentation opened an associative canteen called “Au bout du monde”, which means “on the edge of the world” in 2023. During this project, you will participate in the construction of an exterior entrance, which will allow visitors to feel welcome and easily find their way. You will be able to learn traditional masonry techniques for around 4 hours each morning. You will take turns participating in daily life tasks, including cooking, gardening and cleaning.

Accomodation and food: You will camp in our association s park, where we will install large collective tents (10 to 16 places). You will sleep in bunk beds, separated by gender. Bring a good sleeping bag and your pillow! You will have access to the house s showers and toilets. There are also dry toilets outside. The place is equipped with a professional grade kitchen. Accompanied by the camp leaders, your group will prepare meals each day, in turns. In Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week, and WiFi is limited in certain rooms of the house. There is no washing machine: bring enough to last 15 days or hand detergent!
