GENERAL PRESENTATION
"Compagnons Bâtisseurs" (CBF) is an NGO founded in 1957. Its aim was to help a population that had been hard hit by the effects of World War II, to reconstruct those homes destroyed during the conflict. From the very beginning up until today, CBF has been putting the principle of solidarity into practice in the form of workcamps, as well as promoting peace and better understanding between people from all over the world.
LONG TERM VOLUNTEERS WITH COMPAGNONS BATISSEURS FRANCE
With an intervention in the field of building (from renovation to construction) the voluntary sector brings concrete help to families or people in need, often excluded from society and to organisations dedicated to collective interest projects.
The teams intervene with and for the families for the improvement of their living conditions, giving them in this way the means to reinvest their housing. Volunteers work in one of the five local Compagnons Bâtisseurs organizations in France, and they share a community life.
THE VOLUNTEERS
The volunteer posts are open to girls and boys over 18 from different nationalities, with or without preliminary knowledge in construction and renovation. They have different status: European Voluntary Service volunteers, conscientious objectors, and Civic Service volunteers (French status).
They all must be prepared to commit themselves in the fulfilment of the objectives of the organisationand develop their awareness of:
- Working closely with families in need and with organisations involved in community projects
- Participating to associative and communal life.
- Working as a genuine part of a team outside traditional structures
- Sharing a different experience of life.
This commitment is very demanding but also offers unquestionable experience and awareness of responsibility. On the project, volunteers also will find many ways to enjoy themselves through new acquaintances and cultural exchanges.
WORK DESCRIPTION
Working with the organisation staff (administrative mentors and technical supervisors) and with the social worker in charge of the family, the volunteers prepare and assure the technical, financial and human aspects on the building site. They also try to make the families involved in the improvement of their living conditions by working together on the site.
Although the main purpose in the carrying out of the work, the activity has therefore an important social and human aspect that makes our intervention different from a professional one.
This in particular includes the participation of the family in the project (choice of the work that has to be done, the material…) and also in its technical realisation.
Furthermore, when possible the volunteers share the lunch with the family which provides a valuable time to get to know each other and may create strong links based on trust and sharing.
Volunteers are also fully involved in the organisation life, especially through their participation in the national and local administrative councils, general assemblies and through the Volunteers’ Collective which regroups all volunteers. In summer, volunteers can work as group co-leaders on international summer workcamps organised by the association.
LIVING CONDITIONS
The volunteers live and work as a part of a team of 3 to 5 people, sharing a flat or a house in one of the places where we host volunteers in France: in Brittany (in Rennes and Brest), in the Loire Valley (in Tours), in Provence (in Marseille), in Montpellier (Languedoc), in Bordeaux (Aquitaine) and in Reunion’s island. In some of these places there is also local French volunteers as part of the team, the difference is that they do not share the flat.
LTV receive a monthly allowance covering food expenses and pocket money (about 400 €/month).
Accomodation is provided by Compagnons Bâtisseurs. Because of their low budget, LTV have to adaptthemselves during their long term experience to an alternative way of living, sharing a communal life. Compagnons Bâtisseurs pay all the costs related to the training, the local or national associative activities in which volunteers are involved.
