Summer volunteer program

Dates: 4-16 June, 18-30 June, 2-14 July, 16-28 July, 30 July-11 August, 13-25 August, 27 August- 8 September & 10-22 September
Number of participants: 14

These two week sessions, international in nature, give the volunteers an opportunity to work with the La Sabranenque team in restoring a medieval village.  Each morning the volunteers learn traditional construction techniques and actively participate in the preservation of rural, Mediterranean architecture.  The La sabranenque technicians accompany the participants in their learning.  No previous construction or architectural experience is necessary.  Since all volunteers integrate into the current project on site, one may experience stone masonry, or paving, or dry stone techniques…

All participants are free to choose their afternoon activities, whether it be to rejoin the team on the work site, or take a walk in the countryside and discover local plants, or simply relax in the quiet of the old village…

These restoration projects, at La Sabranenque, offer the opportunity to live an authentic experience and receive personal training through actively participating in the current projects on site.

You may sign up for several sessions if you wish to take part for a longer period!
