    Descrição

    We have places available in November till mid December and again starting mid January. There's help that we need and opportunity for a person to learn about lots of things that you didn't know you could do until you try it - why not?

    The art we make provides the income that pays the bills but the tractor that drills the holes, cuts the weeds and pumps the water in the summer needs to be operated too, and then the water truck, etc. There's the social media that explains & promotes our activity and hopefully we'll have more fun with that soon.

    Our Instagram journalist did a great job and she is on to new things now and left us with a great foundation to work with. We're looking for people to continue this work to advertise our projects on our own socials and reach out to press.

    Currently, we are focused on supporting the artwork projects that provide funds for tree-planting. Primary tasks include social media content creation, filming/editing, and writing.
    There is also woodworking and painting of different kinds.

    We are also a non-profit tree planting association, based in the south of France. Centuries of tree cutting have caused considerable damage to the forests in the region. We are trying to restore some of it and help nature back to its former balances.

    We collect acorns, we plant and maintain tree sprouts. Summer is our off season for planting, but we are always busy raising money with our art - high end architectural cabinets and aviaries! Our registered purpose of operation includes training in traditional practical skills.

    We need persons interested in non-profit management regarding these 3 main projects
    In this order
    1) Building a targeted press release about the association, how we finance it with the arts in a registered historical monument
    2) Managing the French/English websites and social media
    3) Keep developing an administrative reportage, this includes daily basic administrative tasks, keep records of the planting activity (trees planted of how many hectares, experiments and results). This reportage will be used for grant writing and daily association accounting

    Longer-term volunteers are preferable because while some tasks sound easy, most of them actually take time to explain, practice and accomplish. Short-term volunteers are often accepted of course and introduced to a variety of things - we are naturally flexible.
    Our long term plan is to attract apprentices, these are paid positions that could lead to long term employment in the artwork and reforestation and management parts of this operation.
    We are currently actively recruiting apprentices who are about to graduate or have recently graduated from art school in applied arts or crafts. Through our apprenticeship scheme there is potential to be submitted to a prestigious fellowship that would help artists develop their crafts and become self sustainable through sponsorships & economics courses. Check out our website, Lansdown Arts, for further details on this!

    When contacting us please note your arrival and departure dates (even if flexible) as it helps us to coordinate everybody.

    FRENCH :

    Nous avons des places disponibles en novembre jusqu'à la mi-décembre et à nouveau à partir de la mi-janvier.
    Actuellement, nous nous concentrons sur le soutien aux projets artistiques qui fournissent des fonds pour la plantation d'arbres. Les tâches principales incluent la création de contenu sur les réseaux sociaux, le tournage/le montage et l'écriture, surtout lorsqu'il pleut.

    Nous sommes une association de plantation à but non lucratif, basée dans le sud de la France. Des siècles d’abattage d’arbres ont causé des dégâts considérables aux forêts de la région. Nous essayons d’en restaurer une partie et d’aider la nature à retrouver ses anciens équilibres.

    Nous récoltons des glands, plantons et entretenons les pousses d’arbres. L'été est notre basse saison pour la plantation, mais nous sommes toujours occupés à collecter des fonds avec notre art - des armoires architecturales et des volières haut de gamme ! Notre objectif d'activité enregistré comprend la formation aux compétences pratiques traditionnelles.

    Nous recherchons des personnes intéressées par la gestion à but non lucratif concernant ces 3 projets principaux
    Dans cet ordre
    1) Construire un communiqué de presse ciblé sur l'association, comment nous la finançons avec les arts dans un monument historique inscrit
    2) Gérer les sites Internet et les réseaux sociaux français/anglais
    3) Continuer à développer un rapport administratif, cela comprend les tâches administratives de base quotidiennes, tenir des registres de l'activité de plantation (arbres plantés sur combien d'hectares, expériences et résultats). Ce rapport sera utilisé pour la rédaction des subventions et la comptabilité quotidienne de l'association.

    Les bénévoles à long terme sont préférables car même si certaines tâches semblent faciles, la plupart d'entre elles prennent en réalité un peu de temps à expliquer et à comprendre. Les bénévoles à court terme sont bien sûr souvent acceptés et initiés à diverses choses - nous sommes flexibles !
    Notre plan à long terme est de recruter des apprentis, ces postes rémunérés pouvant déboucher sur un emploi à long terme dans les domaines de l'art, du reboisement et de la gestion de notre opération.
    Nous recrutons actuellement des apprentis qui sont sur le point d'obtenir un diplôme ou qui ont récemment obtenu un diplôme d'une école d'art dans le domaine des arts appliqués ou de l'artisanat. Grâce à notre programme d'apprentissage, il est possible d'être candidat à une bourse prestigieuse qui aiderait les artistes à développer leur artisanat et à devenir autonomes grâce à des parrainages et à des cours d'économie. Consultez notre site web, Lansdown Arts, pour plus de détails à ce sujet !

    Lorsque vous nous contactez, veuillez noter vos dates d'arrivée et de départ (même si flexibles) car cela nous aide à coordonner tout le monde.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We are in the village of GABIAN 34320, in the départment of Hérault.

    The buses to come here are :
    603-604 - Montpellier/Pézénas
    669 Pézénas-Gabian

    Gabian is an enchanting medieval village with (literally) centuries of history and authenticity. Hang out at the local café/bar after work or cafés in other villages on days off. There are bikes you can use to visit the surroundings (a beautiful lake 45min by bike), and other villages are 20 to 40 minutes apart by bicycle depending on you and the incline.

    If you have your own car (or time the buses right) you can discover beautiful villages, lakes, gorges around the area (Gorges d'Héric, village of Saint-Guilhem-le-désert, Salagou lake, the Devil's bridge/ Pont du Diable etc). You could even have a beach day in Montpellier, just 1.5 hours away by bus!

    More and more of our helpers are French speakers who live in the village and surrounding area so it's possible to work in an all French language environment - at times...

    We ask for 25 hours of help a week for lodging and food.

    We can pick you up at the train station or airport.

    We are all fully vaccinated and think that's a very good idea but there is no absolute mandate these days

    One of our current projects, is a crowdfunding for a new firetruck. Feel free to have a look at our youtube video and share it with friends and family.

    The accommodation is a house in the village that is shared among the volunteers. We've had volunteers bring pets in the past, but just let me know beforehand so we can ensure the other volunteers in the house at the time are not allergic.
