GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ANEC

What is ANEC?

Association Nationale Etudes et Chantiers(National Association Etudes et Chantiers)

Etudes et Chantiers was created in 1962 by several Youth movements and follows the idea of non-violence and humanism as well as international co-operation and exchanges in the “Education Populaire” movement – a French concept meaning non formal education. We are engaged in the world-wide movement of international voluntary services (short term and long term) through partnerships with around 125 organisations in more than 70 countries.

Our National Association is composed by 6 regional associations, with an international placement office in Clermont-Ferrand:

ECIDF : Etudes et Chantiers Ile de France – Paris area and North of France ECEnCi : Etudes et Chantiers Engagement Civique – East part of France ECMP : Etudes et Chantiers Midi-Pyrénées – South West part of France CACIAURA : CHANTIERS ACTIONS CITOYENNETE et INCLUSION AURA, projet Etudes

et Chantiers – Centre and South-East of France and the International Delegation. ECC : Etudes et Chantiers Corsica ECIDG : Etudes et chantiers Iles de Guadeloupe (In the carabean Sea)

Each of the regional organisations run permanent projects independently from each other, but they work together on the workcamp programme which is co-ordinated at the National and International level by the International Delegation in Clermont-Ferrand.

We organise around 30 international camps every year:

- Camps for minors between 14-17 years old,- Camps for +18 years old, the most of them with no upper age limit.

Another large part of our activities is to develop activities with people facing social or economical difficulties. Our regional organisations manage several local inclusion work projects with young or adults facing exclusion. This is the larger part of our action that involves us in the employement or social public schemes and in European programmes.

TEENAGE WORKCAMPS 2017

In 1962 Etudes et Chantiers - ANEC has started to organise workcamps for minors between 14-17 years olds and sometimes between 11-13 years old. They are organised following the “Minor’s Protection Act” under the control of Youth and Sports Ministry. These rules facilitate the organisation of workcamps and the security of the volunteers.

Volunteers achieve a concrete project; they work about 25 hours per week.

The leader team is composed, according to the French law, of 3, 4 people (for workcamps of 20 teenagers) who are qualified in leading; they are paid staff and they are responsible for the volunteers. Teenagers are taken in charge on their arrival at the train station; they can’t leave the camp without an authorisation signed by the parents and sent to our organization.

Each volunteer must send a “health form” with the confirmation of arrival at least 15 days before the camp starts.Camp languages are English and French in every project.

On each camp for minors, we open between 1 and 4 places for youth facing social difficulties (like living in orphanages). Be aware that these volunteers expect a lot from a workcamp experience; good contact with International volunteers is really important for them.

Insurance: our organisation covers the volunteers from the first to the last day of the project for third risk, individual accident, repatriation. Our insurance does not cover lost or stolen objects, nor illness (except those due to accidents, during the workcamp).

Volunteers from the E.U. countries MUST bring a European Health card to cover their cost (medical, pharmaceutical and hospitalisation cover).

For all our teenage workcamps international volunteers must pay extra-fees (250 €) before going to the project by bank transfer or by cash at the arrival to the leader. The extra fees cover a part of the camp leaders’ salaries and costs

ANEC ADULT WORKCAMPS

Usually we host 12 volunteers on each of our workcamps (9, 10 international volunteers + 2, 3 French participants) but some projects are open to 8, 10 or 15 volunteers.On our adult projects you work about 30 hours per week; most of the time you don’t work on week-ends, but it might happen for different reasons.

In our workcamps, all activities are decided together with the volunteers and the camp leaders. You will live a group experience.

The languages spoken on our workcamps are English and French, except on specific international French speaking camps (indicated in the description).

Every day life: the group will organise teams so that everybody can participate in the cleaning, tidying up, and preparation of the meals… do not forget your recipes!

Activities: on your arrival, leaders will propose several activities; but your ideas are welcomed and everything can be discussed. So be imaginative, the workcamp is a place for having fun! We don’t expect you to do activities on your own, going to visit friends living nearby or going alone to watch a movie!

Leading team: camp leaders are not there to manage everything; they advise volunteers, suggest various activities; they are also a link between the different actors of the workcamp: the organising association, the project sponsor, the local population and the volunteers. Our camp leaders are usually paid, but we might also have volunteer leaders.

Age Limit: 18 years old minimum –no maximum;

Sometimes, we might accept 17 year old participants in some of our adult camps if they already have had a volunteer experience and if they are mature enough to join an adult project (a motivation letter is necessary for minor volunteers). Priority goes to French Access 4 All.

On each adult project we open at least 1 or 2 places for people facing social or psychological difficulties (like living in orphanages or in specialized institutions). Be aware that these volunteers are expected a lot from a workcamp experience; it is for them a big adventure and good contacts with International volunteers are really important for them.

Insurance: our association covers the volunteers from the first to the last day of the project (civil liability, personal accident, assistance repatriation). Our insurance does not cover lost or stolen objects, or illness (except those due to accidents, during the workcamp).

Volunteers from E.U. countries MUST bring a European Health card to cover their cost (replacing the E111 form) (medical, pharmaceutical and hospitalisation cover).

No advance of money will be given to them.

Our adult camps have no extra fees.

The Farm is an open urban infrastructure. The site combines new technologies and ancestral traditions. It is a place of exchanges where we cultivate fruits, vegetables and fish locally, all year long, in the city! It is a natural and relaxing place in which we feel welcomed and respected. It is a place for getting new ideas, learning and sharing.The project is based on the ethical need to go back to nature and use ancestral techniques that have proved to be useful and respect the Earth. It is worth knowing that sometimes, used methods can be questioned because they cannot be applied according to the situation . We want to keep moving forward, constantly improve our methods and adapt. Our purpose is to create an evolutionary infrastructure. The internal space will be dedicated to aquaponics and to its management. The outside space will be used for the creation of permaculture gardens. In the site, you will find a natural vegetable orchard, as well as an insect hotel, hives and bees which favor the expansion of biodiversity. The numerous trees, bushes and perennial plants on the farm keep the biodiversity in the plantations all year long. This enables to set a real sustainable ecosystem.
