Our team of five volunteers and Leader have been secected for the upcoming Erasmus+ project in France. The workcamp will take place at Coucy Castle between 11th & 23rd August.

If you are between 18 and 30 and are interested in getting involved in our Erasmus+ Conservation Volunteer program in 2026 please feel free to contact us. We would love to hear from you!

It is worth noting that every year there is also a place for a person of any age to be the group Leader and take the team to France. No conservation experience needed and funded training is provided.

For more information on 2026 and what is involved in general please read on.

Erasmus+ is a European Union programme that promotes education, training, sport, and youth, through international exchanges, skills enhancement, and the sharing of practices (https:/erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu). The host organisation is Rempart (www.rempart.com), which represents more than 180 local associations that preserve and promote heritage throughout France.

Travel expenses (up to €275) will be covered and accommodation and food

provided, Leader training AND for the DSWAI team of volunteers to travel to France. 

This project is a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, and experience France and its heritage.
