The project: The local organization "Reve de foin" whose aim is to protect the rural heritage and to offer activities, organizes each summer the "Nuits de Reve Festival" (dreaming nights). It is a theatre, music and dance festival in the middle of the natural site of the Blanhac mills (village of Rosieres). This year again, the young team will welcome international volunteers in order to help organizing the festival and to take part in the activities. You will be fully integrated within the life of this young and dynamic organization and you will have the opportunity to meet the artists invited.
Works: you will welcome people (around 1000 visitors), take in charge the reception (ticket booth, refreshment bar…) and take down the facilities at the end of the festival.
More info: This project takes place in the Haute Loire department (centre of France). Great walks can be planned around the beautiful (and quite isolated) site of the Blanhac mills. The local volunteers will be delighted to show you their region!
Accommodation: in tents around a renovated farm on the area of the festival. Bathroom and collective life in the farm.
