ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
We welcome volunteers to lead socio-cultural activities in the village of Roqueredonde in the South of France. Their mission will not only involve setting up a lively café in the countryside but also promoting ecological consciousness within the community. This involves creating a cozy space where people can come together for artistic expression, music jams, community interaction, and the exchange of diverse cultures, all while keeping a deep appreciation for the natural environment. The volunteers will lead initiatives to minimize environmental impact, implementing sustainable practices, organizing eco-friendly events, and educating the community on the importance of conservation. From composting organic waste to sourcing locally-produced ingredients, every aspect of the café's operation will consider the environment .

TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY
You'll work around 35 hours a week with team support, focusing on our main goal: creating an awesome cultural café in the countryside. It'll be a spot where art, community vibes, and diverse cultures all mix together. Alongside café management and event organization, you'll engage in community activities like baking, gardening, cheese-making, and other tasks. There are many learning opportunities, from hosting exhibitions to language labs, crafts, and cultural events. Regular yoga and meditation sessions will also be available to cultivate a positive impact.
