Το 1982, ο Raymond Morales ένα υπαίθριο μουσείο 5.000 τετραγωνικών μέτρων για να στεγάσει τα έργα του. Γεννημένος το 1926, ξεκίνησε ως σιδηρουργός στο Port de Bouc, ενώ διατηρούσε χόμπι με τη συγκόλληση και τη σφυρηλάτηση περίεργων γλυπτών από σίδηρο, μερικά ύψους έως και 13 πόδια. Πολλά χρόνια μετά, δημιούργησε τον δικό του εκθεσιακό χώρο για να παρουσιάσει τα παράξενα έργα του.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της ζωής του, η έκθεση ήταν διαθέσιμη στο κοινό για επίσκεψη αλλά μετά το θάνατό του, το Musée Moralès ήταν ανοιχτό μόνο κατά διαστήματα και έκλεισε οριστικά το 2007, παραμένοντας κλειστό μέχρι σήμερα.
Η Concordia France σου δίνει την ευκαιρία να λάβεις μέρος στην ανακαίνιση των σιδερένιων εκθεμάτων και στην επαναλειτουργία του Μουσείου. Θα εργαστείτε για τον καθαρισμό και το βερνίκωμα των έργων, αναβιώνοντας την καλλιτεχνική παρόρμηση του Raymond Morales. Η πόλη του Port-de-Bouc εδώ και πολλά χρόνια είχε στα πλάνα της την αποκατάσταση των εν λόγω έργων και έτσι δίνεται στους εθελοντές μας η ευκαιρία να συμβάλλουν στη διατήρηση ενός πολύ σημαντικού μέρους της καλλιτεχνικής ιστορίας της περιοχής.
Αναζητούμε εθελοντές. ηλικίας 18 έως 30 ετών, οι οποίοι θα προσφέρουν τις πολύτιμες υπηρεσίες τους στο φιλόδοξο αυτό project. Θα φιλοξενηθείτε στο δημοτικό κάμπινγκ. Θα έχετε ο καθένας τις δικές σας ατομικές σκηνές που παρέχονται από την Concordia και θα δημιουργηθεί ένας συλλογικός χώρος διαβίωσης (αιώρα, τραπέζια και καρέκλες, χώρος χαλάρωσης, χώρος μαγειρέματος).

Project and Work:
Come and discover the unique art world of Morales, a historical heritage from the shipyards of Port-de-Bouc!
This year, we offer you the opportunity to take part in a unique renovation project of iron sculptures by the mediterranean sea.
You will work on the cleaning and varnishing of the works of art, and learn how to maintain metal equipment in this especially beautiful site of the South of France.
At the end of your work, you will move the artworks into a dedicated space for the artist and revive the artistic impulse of this former blacksmith. This project is part of a global restoration project of Raymond Moralès' artworks, led by the town of Port-de-Bouc for many years.
Accommodation and food:
You will be accommodated at the municipal campground. You will each have your own individual tents provided by Concordia and a collective living space (hammocks, tables and chairs, relaxation area, cooking area) will be set up. You will share the different tasks of daily life and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders and you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of the meals, giving priority to healthy and local products.
Partner:
This workcamp is like no other and has shown an extraordinary motivation (almost as great as the artworks!) to carry out this project. In partnership with Concordia, this is the very first workcamp that the town of Port-de-Bouc organises and it is very important for them that your time there remains unique and memorable!
Location and Leisure:
Port-de-Bouc is a town in the south of France located in the Bouches-du-Rhone department, 45 km northwest of Marseille. Embracing the sea and the Laguna of Berre, the city asserts its industrial and maritime vocation and becomes therefore a marine land. The art of boats making and the transformation of energy from the sea have found their home there.
Another Concordia volunteer work camp is organized at the same time in the neighboring town of Istres. You will have the opportunity to meet this second group of volunteers during the off-duty activities!
Remarks:
Please bring good shoes, working clothes and a swimsuit for the courageous ones! As nights can be quite cold, remember also to bring warm clothes and a warm sleeping bag. You can also bring traditional recipes from your home country/region, an instrument of music and games.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
This project is supported by the program European Solidarity Corps (ESC) for young people between 18 and 30 years. It is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria.
The participation to the ESC volunteering teams is subjects to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en
- volunteers do not have to pay any fee (not sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project and will receive a financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established in accordance with their travel distance and upon the presentation of original tickets;
- volunteers need to enrol in the PASS, the ESC Portal; then Concordia France will organise their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project;
- volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of 6€/day, once they arrive on the project in France;
- volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online through the portal.
Meeting Point:
The meeting-point is set at the PORT-DE-BOUC train station at the end of the afternoon on the 15/04. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the infosheet, sent at the latest 4 weeks before the beginning of the work.
From the Saint-Charles train station in MARSEILLE, regional trains leave regularly for PORT-DE-BOUC train station. The journey lasts about 1 hour and a half. Train reservations are possible about 4 months before travel time.
From PARIS, you can take the train from Gare de Lyon train station, regular departures to MARSEILLE Saint-Charles train station are scheduled throughout the day (about every hour).
If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress free travel.
If possible, please consider using low-carbon emissions’ transportation (train and bus rather than airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.
The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/
