The
project at La Giraudiere offers you the chance to Learn
French Language and to live in France
from as little as 182 Euros per week Yes La
Giraudiere offers you the chance to learn French, sample life
in France
and explore the delights of the wonderful south west region of France
whilst at the same time being part of a group that is contributing
towards a project that will be here in south west France for years to
come. The
volunteers project at La Giraudiere as been described as an exchange of knowledge
and cultures and simply works like this. By contributing and applying the skills or knowledge you
already have towards the project you
will in return learn or improve your knowledge of the French
Language
plus you can learn new skills from building a small holiday hamlet to
building a website. At La Giraudiere we are putting
in place a small
holiday hamlet which once
completed will be specialising
in offering school trips
for UK, USA and non French
schools. The school trips will be
designed to introduce non-French children to France and the French way
of life. |

The children will have the opportunity to visit
and
participate in French school life and hopefully expand that
relationship into a long-term relationship. Whilst the school trips will have
educational content there will also be Fun and attractions for the
children Whilst a lot of the groundwork has been
completed there is still
a lot to do. Apart from
the construction side of the project for which
we need craftsmen and trades people with knowledge of building trades
from construction to painting we also need article writers to write
articles about the attractions of France, Website designers and people
with knowledge of html and php etc, Teachers or people who can produce
lesson, plans learning sheets etc designed to help the children learn
basic French. Then there is the marketing producing literature and data
input for mailing
lists, Gardening and landscaping there is 5 acres a
La Giraudiere which needs some TLC from someone with green fingers.
Labouring there is always a place for someone who just wants to get
stuck. Basically the criteria is a willingness to contribute, help and
learn.
The
cost for the present is 182 euros per week plus 4 days of your time
contributing towards the project half a day of which La Giraudiere
provides an
Informal
French lesson based around what
you are working on or simply what you want. There is a reduction for
those who would share
a room.
The
La Giraudiere learning method tries to recapture the period when you
learnt prior to going to school and the period after you finished basic
schooling. When I say the period prior to schooling I mean the way you
learnt your native tongue which was from the people around you the
people you were living with your parents and family similar once you
finished your basic schooling you continued to learn but now it was
from the people you worked with or socialised with. No classroom or
black boards with endless lists of verbs just an atmosphere of living,
working and learning.
I have heard it said that there are people paying anything up to a 1000
us dollars a week to go and learn French in France Well what better way to learn
French in France than to
actually live there and to work there?
