Description
We are non-profit organisation and we are going to build an autonomous (in electricity and water) house made of load-bearing straw. This straw hut project is led by students and we would like to welcome people via participatory construction sites to help us :)
This will be an opportunity for you to learn more about ecological construction, and to spend time in community with us.

Nous sommes une association et nous allons construire un habitat en paille porteuse autonome (en eau et en électricité). Ce projet de paillourte est mené par des étudiants et nous souhaitons accueillir du monde via des chantiers participatifs pour nous aider :)
Ce sera l'occasion pour toi d'en apprendre plus sur la construction écologique, et de passer des moments en communauté avec nous.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are 3 students (23 years old) living full time on the construction site. We regularly welcome other people who come to help us but we want to meet as many people as possible! We all speak English and we have all had international experiences. We are all curious to learn more about you :)
We will therefore be able to share moments together in the evening and during the day around games, meals etc. If you have special wishes, we are open to any idea.

Help
Our association is not for profit. All the people who help on the project and the construction are volunteers.
We need people to help us during the construction. We teach you the method and you will be there to help us. No special skills are required, don't worry! Everyone is welcome. Our goal is to teach you everything you want to know. There is no need to be a professional at all.
Concretely, depending on the period you come (contact us to find out), we will have to build straw walls, make earth-based plaster, create the interior design, create the furniture, etc.
We will also need you for daily tasks.

Notre association n'est pas à but lucratif. Toutes les personnes qui travaillent sur le projet et la construction sont bénévoles.
Nous avons de besoin de personnes pour nous aider pendant la construction. On t'apprend la méthode et tu seras là pour nous aider. Aucune compétence particulière n'est requise, ne t'inquiète pas ! Tout le monde est bienvenue. Notre objectif est de t'apprendre tout ce que tu souhaites savoir. Il n'y a pas besoin du tout d'être un professionnel.
Concrètement, selon la période à laquelle tu viens (contacte nous pour savoir), il faudra monter des murs en paille, faire de l'enduit à base de terre, créer l'aménagement intérieur, créer les meubles etc.
Nous aurons aussi besoin de toi pour les tâches du quotidien.
