envi/teen | 2/12 | 15-17 | |
| Description: Le Domaine provincial de Chevetogne is a big centre for environmental education and social tourism. |
| Pupils from primary and secondary schools come there to participate in activities that focus on discovering the nature and rural way of life. During the summer, many kids and families make a one-day excursion to the Domain or stay there for holidays.
The philosophy of the place could be summed up in one sentence: "when one learns to respect the biodiversity in the nature, one also learns to respect the human diversity". Workers from Le Domaine de Chevetogne hope to share their passion for the environment with international volunteers. |
| Work: Volunteers will assist in the construction of a shelter to observe the local birds: they will clean the surroundings, put together wooden parts in a special mortise and tenon way without a single nail and also build feeder for birds. Good news for all wood-lovers – the wood processing will be made by volunteers as well.
ATTENTION: work might be sometimes long and difficult. Volunteers will spend the whole day outdoors. |
| Accomodation: In a cottage with two dormitories, beds, kitchen and bathroom with hot shower.
Food:
Breakfast will be provided in the cottage and lunch as an outside picnic. Volunteers can decide whether they prefer to prepare their evening meals in the cottage or to eat in the restaurant of the Domain. Volunteers must notify beforehand about specific diet – vegetarian or muslim if any.
Location:
Le Domaine de Chevetogne is located in deep countryside. By choosing this workcamp, the volunteer decides to live in the nature. All around, there are fields, woods and small villages. Wild animals (deer, foxes or wild pigs) are very close.
As the domain is also a tourist centre, there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment: outdoor swimming pool, football fields, minigolf, and tennis or basketball playgrounds…
During the weekend, it will be possible to organise cultural visits and to travel to the biggest Belgian cities. The town of Ciney is 10 kilometres away from the Domain of Chevetogne. From there, it is very easy to reach bigger urban centres such as Namur (25 km), Brussels (80 km) or Liège (90 km).
