📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Concordia has been called to organise a workcamp in Crécy en Ponthieu within the framework of a territory valorisation project directed to young people. This workcamp will gather young people from Abbeville and surrounding areas, French young people and international volunteers. Professional contributors will come to share their specific knowledge and expertise about forest, fauna and flora. You’ll also be associated to the youth centre activities (excursions, activities, visits), to the celebration of the Battle of Crécy (Hundred Years' War) and you’ll be pleased to have beaches nearby (Fort Mahon or Berck). An intense workcamp waiting for you!
💼 What the programme involves
In the forest of Crecy you’ll intervene in order to recreate hospitable ponds for the fauna (amphibian, insects…) and the flora. You’ll also contribute to the maintenance of information and direction panels of walking paths (wood staining) and you’ll finally contribute to the creation of an inventory of the flora and fauna.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated under tents in the football stadium of Crécy en Ponthieu. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together.
📍 About the location
Crecy en Ponthieu is located in the Somme Department, Hauts de France Region, close to the English Channel beaches and 30 km from Fort Mahon.
ℹ️ Additional information
Bring working clothes and boots. For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat. Please feel free to bring some food specialties, pictures, musical instrument: things you like and want to share with the group and the local community!
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 happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
