La ville de Saint-Mihiel organise des chantiers de bénévoles pour restaurer des murs et murets en pierre-sèche, qui ont été reconstruits trop vite et peu durablement après les Guerres Mondiales. Pourtant, ils font le charme de la ville et représentent aussi des refuges importants pour la biodiversité (insectes et oiseaux viennent s'y installer). Aujourd'hui, l'ensemble est inscrit au titre de zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique et sa protection est assurée par l'Etat.
La mission consiste à restaurer les murs et murets de la Promenade des Capucins, au nord de Saint-Mihiel, afin de leur redonner leur aspect originel et sécuriser les chemins. Sur les murs maçonnés, les bénévoles devront enlever l'ancien mortier, réparer fissures et trous, et appliquer un nouvel enduit à la chaux. Ils rehausseront les murs et poseront des couvertines (enduit ou tuiles) qui permettront de protéger durablement les murs. Pour les murs en pierre-sèche, il faudra démonter et trier les pierres, parfois les retailler, et surtout les assembler avec soin en vérifiant leur stabilité. Le travail se fera en équipe, guidé par un professionnel qui transmettra les techniques traditionnelles de maçonnerie. Attendez-vous à un travail parfois physique, incluant la manipulation de pierres et l’application de mortier. Certaines tâches se dérouleront en hauteur. En période de forte chaleur, les travaux se limiteront aux matinées.
The town of Saint-Mihiel organises volunteering workcamps to restore dry-stone walls and small stone structures that were rebuilt too quickly and unsustainably after the World Wars. They add to the town's charm and serve as important refuges for biodiversity, providing homes for insects and birds. Today, the entire area is recognised as a natural zone of ecological interest, and its protection is ensured by the state.
The mission involves restoring the walls and small stone structures of the Promenade des Capucins, located to the north of Saint-Mihiel, in order to return them to their original appearance and secure the pathways. For the masonry walls, volunteers will need to remove the old mortar, repair cracks and holes, and apply a new lime plaster. They will also raise the walls and install coping stones (plaster or tiles) to protect the walls in the long term.
For the dry-stone walls, volunteers will dismantle and sort the stones, sometimes reshaping them, and most importantly, carefully reassemble them while ensuring their stability. The work will be done in teams, guided by a professional who will teach traditional masonry techniques
Be prepared for physically demanding work, which will include handling stones and applying mortar. Some tasks will take place at height. During periods of intense heat, work will be limited to the mornings.

The camp is designed as a place for socializing, mutual communication and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities with volunteers from the regular population, who come from different cultures and environments.
Volunteers will work in the "Oasis" on everyday activities with the users of the house. Main activities are activities that the users also engage in daily life: maintenance and arrangement of work and living space; tidying up the yard and plot; pulling weeds (not that one, hehe) and working in the garden (planting, hoeing, watering, crop care and harvesting); sorting of the obtained fruits and vegetables - separation for feeding in the camp, for distribution to socially disadvantaged members of the local community, for livestock and for compost; feeding of animals and maintenance of premises where animals stay; emptying recycling containers with PET packaging, pressing the packaging, visiting vulnerable families from the local community.
The part of the camp will be dedicated to the artistic decoration of the wall in the garden.
Luogo
The camp would take place in Golubinci (a village/town in the municipality of Stara Pazova), 8 km from the town of Stara Pazova. The town has about 5,000 inhabitants, it is a multicultural environment, the majority of the population is of the Orthodox faith, but the Catholic population is also very represented. In the center of the town there are Orthodox and Catholic churches, a supermarket, a post office, a school, a kindergarten, a health center, cafes... It is interesting that the castle Schloss (from the 18th century) is located there, which is accompanied by stories about curses, infidelities and punishments. It has significant architectural and historical value because Karađorđe Petrović (leader of I Serbian uprising against Ottomans) and composer Ludwig Van Beethoven (famous composer, hehe) stayed there.
Various manifestations are held in the town itself throughout the year: Cat Festival (masquerade ball and carnival), Days of Rosemary, Earth Day... During the volunteers' stay, the celebration of Petrovdan - the holiday of the place - will be held, during which numerous outdoor activities will be organized and a fair which is enjoyed by all the locals.
Pearls of Serbia, Novi Sad and Belgrade, are well connected to Stara Pazova (by train 20 minutes both), so visits to those places can be organized easily.
We just recommend you to bring patience and smile and it will be one great memorable adventure!

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.

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.

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.
