Non-profit cultural and social project in Burgundy, France

Details

• 

  Description

  Burgundy 1h30 from Paris (by train) | AVAILABLE
  
  UPDATE : Right now I'm looking for motivated people to help with the online activities of a non-profit cultural and social project that supports vulnerable communities through photography, art, and education.
  Are you passionate about communication, design, and writing, or are you given to social networking? Come and join me in the peaceful countryside of Burgundy.
  
  The work includes things like social media posts, visual content creation, Text editing (French, English, or Spanish), mailing, web adaptations, and helping with digital promotion and outreach.
  
  In exchange, you'll enjoy a calm and beautiful place in nature — a charming rural area perfect for focus, inspiration, and meaningful exchange. We’ll share daily life, meals, and conversations, and you'll also have time to enjoy the surroundings.
  
  If you're autonomous, curious, and enjoy creative collaboration, I’d love to hear from you!
  
  I'm a photographer - anthropologist, currently lost in the world of cultural wonders while crafting my anthropology thesis. Beyond that, I happily volunteer with the lovely folks at here, an awesome student association championing social causes for those in need. Now, I'm turning a quaint riverside cabin in Burgundy into my eco-haven for thesis redaction. Exciting times ahead! 📚
  
  It’s an isolated, somewhat wild, and rustic spot—perfect for focusing on online work, relaxing in the forest, and soaking in the beautiful, inspiring views. Despite its seclusion, it’s not too far from cities, with charming French villages nearby to explore. There’s a lovely bike route along the river, and I have two bikes available for use.
  
  I can offer food and accommodation in exchange for up to 25 hours of help per week, or just accommodation with you taking care of your own meals for a maximum of 15 hours of help per week :D

  Help

  I am looking for someone who could help me with the entire remodeling of the house, as well as with some tasks, primarily assisting with actions and some garden work. I am familiar with some construction techniques, and I am also a designer, but I need an extra pair of hands to achieve my goals for redesigning and renovating my little 16m² cabin

  Accommodation

  I could offer a comfortable canapé in the cabin or a bed in a caravan.

  What else ...

  The location is a mere 1 hour and 30 minutes by train from Paris, making it an accessible and enchanting retreat. Getting to the cabin is convenient from Laroche Migennes train station, just a pleasant 30-minute walk. Alternatively, if arriving by bus (stop at Laroche Cydrone), it's a short 10-minute stroll along a beautiful path by the river. For those with their own vehicle, direct access by car is also available. Volunteers are welcome to bring their own caravan, van, or car, and if needed, I can provide a car for local exploration.
  In their downtime, helpers can explore the scenic wonders surrounding the cabin, engaging in leisurely strolls along the riverbanks or discovering the nearby picturesque villages.
  Additionally, the cozy cabin environment encourages relaxation and creativity. Helpers can indulge in personal projects, photography, or simply unwind with a good book. The collaborative spirit ensures a unique blend of work and leisure, fostering a holistic experience that goes beyond remodeling tasks. Join me for a memorable cultural exchange amidst the beauty of Burgundy! 🌿✨
