Nestling in a lush green valley, the commune of St Amand de Coly lies at the heart of the Perigord Noir, an area rich in history! Made up of two former communes that decided to merge into one, we?ll be working to unite these formerly separate areas into a single one. The ruins of the abbey castle at Coly bear witness to the valley's rich past, preserving some fine architectural features (bread oven, vaulted room, etc.) and revealing some wonderful secrets. The abbey of St Amand is proof of the power of the church in this area throughout the Middle Ages.
After a number of excavations at the castle, this year we have reached the layers of archaeological interest. Festivals, night markets, and village fairs will punctuate the summer.
You?ll discover the welcoming nature of the local people and the charm of the countryside and heritage, as you organise your programme of activities with the other volunteers, the other groups hosted, and the organisers.

According to the Nordic sagas Hiiumaa emerged from the Baltic Sea as a small islet more than 10 000 years ago. The island of Hiiumaa was first mentioned in historical documents as a deserted island called Dageida in 1228. The first inhabitants settled down at the end of the 13th century. Nowadays Hiiumaa is the second biggest island of Estonia with the area of 965 sq. km and the population around 9 000. It has many historical and nature sights, and there are kind people known for their hospitality and good sense of humor. The island is referred as a remote area of Europe, so EstYES feels particularly proud developing international voluntary projects for over 20 years there. For years EstYES has been cooperating with farms all over Estonia for solidarity and practical support to local people who work in agricultural sector keeping traditional life style and developing new eco-farming despite of all difficulties.

L’École du Breuil, école horticole de Paris, est implantée dans les jardins publics de la ville. L’an dernier, des bénévoles ont réalisé des relevés de faune et de flore pour enrichir les données de l’école et initier les visiteur·se·s aux sciences participatives. Cette année, l’objectif est de fabriquer un mur de nichoirs adaptés aux espèces locales, afin de favoriser la biodiversité et d’encourager l’observation des oiseaux.
As-tu déjà entendu parler des sciences participatives ? Cette année, tu partiras à la recherche des oiseaux du jardin, mais pas n'importe comment ! Pierre-Yves, notre animateur technique, accompagné des jardiniers du parc, te guidera à travers les protocoles d'observation. L’objectif : construire des nichoirs adaptés aux espèces recensées, en déterminant les dimensions idéales, puis en passant à la découpe et à l’assemblage du bois. Ces nichoirs deviendront aussi un support pédagogique pour les élèves et visiteur·se·s. Un second chantier consistera à créer des éléments en tressage végétal et des installations en bois pour enrichir l’espace de classe extérieure et le relier au mur de nichoirs par un chemin "végétal". Ces temps de chantier, menés aux côtés de passionnés de faune et de flore, seront aussi l’occasion d’échanger autour de la gestion écologique des espaces naturels et des principes de permaculture.
École du Breuil, a horticultural school in Paris, is located within the city's public gardens. Last year, volunteers conducted fauna and flora surveys to enrich the school's data and introduce visitors to citizen science. This year, the goal is to build a birdhouse wall tailored to local species, to promote biodiversity and encourage birdwatching.
Have you ever heard of citizen science? This year, you'll be searching for the garden's birds, but not just any way! Pierre-Yves, our technical facilitator, along with the park's gardeners, will guide you through the observation protocols. The goal: to build birdhouses tailored to the recorded species, by determining the ideal dimensions, then cutting and assembling the wood. These birdhouses will also serve as educational tools for students and visitors. A second project will involve creating woven plant elements and wooden installations to enrich the outdoor classroom space and link it to the birdhouse wall via a "vegetal" path. These work sessions, alongside passionate experts in fauna and flora, will also provide an opportunity to exchange ideas about the ecological management of natural spaces and the principles of permaculture.

The Clausonne site is a 20-minute walk from Ferme du Fai. Le Fai is 2 km from the village of Le Saix and 13 km from the town of Veynes. There's no Wi-Fi, so the connection is weak, but you'll meet people from all over the world!
The site is located below the summit of Aujour Mountain, so the view may inspire you to discover the pleasure of the hike in your spare time. Indeed, this wilderness spot is ideal for mountain walking and wandering. You'll have the chance to discover the area in the company of a group of international volunteers, which will enrich your experience. Here, you'll be the protagonist of your stay: you'll organize your free time together with the support of our staff.

We will host you at the Fai FermeFai, a welcoming site located at an altitude of 1000 meters. You will be accommodated in individual tents. A kitchen, dry toilets, and showers will be at your disposal at the site.

Daily life is organized collectively: menus (vegetarian, vegan diets, etc.), shopping, activities, and so on.

A small valley in the heart of a sublime alpine landscape, the remains of the 12th-century abbey of Clausonne, and a 300 km hiking trail. All this invites you to discover this rural area and its history! Here, for the past 30 years, a local association has been involved in preserving and promoting the site, as well as contributing to the life of Clausonne and writing its present-day history.

After two years spent restoring the interior walls of the church, the aim of this project is to continue renovating the walls of the Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe church in Buxerolles. The church dates back to the 11th century, but the walls have been plastered with cement, which has led to poor moisture drainage and created saltpetre. Accompanied by a specialist technical supervisor, you will first have to remove the plaster from the walls, then dehumidify the walls and finish by plastering them with lime. Other traditional masonry work will give you a chance to familiarise yourself with these techniques. Come with work clothes or clothes that may be damaged or soiled. We will provide you with safety equipment. No qualifications are required for this project. You will work 4 to 5 hours a day.

The Sachsenhausen Memorial was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany and was built in 1936 near Berlin. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here by the Nazi SS. The prisoners were forced to perform inhumane labor, and thousands died or were murdered. After the liberation in 1945, the Soviet secret service established Special Camp No.7/No.1 on the site for the internment of former Nazi functionaries and political opponents. Today the memorial is a place of remembrance, learning and research.
