French term or phrase: chantier festif
Ce n'est pas pour une traduction, mais je me pose simplement la question.
Comment appelle-t-on en anglais ces chantiers festifs, en vigueur surtout dans le milieu de la construction écologique où des volontaires viennent participer à un projet de construction, pour voir les techniques appliquées ou pour eux-mêmes mettre la main à la pâte ?
Merci !

straw bale BUILDING PARTY
[…]
Hi all! We had a very encouraging building session for Seymour Green's straw bale shed this past weekend. We're more than half way complete. We need as much energy (hands and feet) as possible to finish it off. Our goal is to complete it by this Sunday (August 19th). Building will be ongoing this week with scheduled times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (10am - 6pm). Please come out and learn some new skills, make some new friends, play in some mud!!
