Terrain d’Aventure du Péri - 2013-BEFR-44
Application deadline :
October 01st 2014
Activity period :
February 01st 2015-January 31st 2016
Location:
Liège
Project :
Le Terrain d’Aventure du Péri (The Adventure Playground of Peri) has been created in 1977, thanks to
the involvement of passionate people, parents and neighbours, for whom it was important to offer
to children a new space of freedom as an alternative to the technical progress and modernity they
judged socially unfair.
The adventure playground is open to all young people, from 5 to 26 years old. It is a place dedicated
to the self-development and the community life, a place where children can learn and experiment
without pressure. Nearly everyday, between 10 and 60 children gather there to share a lot of
activities : outdoor games, table games, sheds building, do-it-yourself, cooking workshops, artistic
workshops, gardening… All these activities must help them to develop their autonomy, responsibility,
critical sense and solidarity.
In this project, the volunteer will be all the time in contact with children and young people. He/she
will launch, lead and follow several activities. These ones can be various and will depend of his/her
ideas, wishes, skills… They will always suppose a democratic participation of the children who have
the right to choose and make proposals.
Usual activities in the Adventure Playground are:
Artistic workshops: painting, sculptures, theatre…
Creative/participative workshops: cooking, sewing, handicraft, shed buildings, story telling…
Games: outdoor games, sport games, table games …
Outdoor activities: nature discovering, gardening, and so on
The volunteer will also help in the maintenance of the Playground (small reparations, painting, grass
cutting…) and may give a support for some administrative tasks. He/she will also help us when we’ll
participate in special events and/or organise punctual projects with other partner organisations:
carnival, local fest, shed symposium, international workcamp…
