About the project

ESC: SJ/ESCJ69 Witches' claws

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This international workcamp is organized in partnership with the Syndicat mixte Rivage and the commune of Le Barcarès, on the banks of the Etang de Salses Leucate, a protected wetland renowned for its varied biodiversity. The partnership between the Rivage syndicat mixte and the REV has existed for several years. The syndicate regularly collaborates with REV on the organization of international workcamps and other one-off events. The two organizations are used to working together, and share the same values and ambitions. In addition to removing invasive species (witch's claw, yucca, prickly pear, agave, etc.), the aim of this year's workcamp will be to help set up measures to protect and enhance the site's existing biodiversity (e.g. trail development). As the work is weather-related, tasks are generally defined at the start of the project.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accomodation and food : You'll be staying in a gîte provided by the local council, just a few minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. There are dormitories, sanitary facilities and a kitchen. Meals will be provided and prepared in turn by participants. Location: You'll be located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Etang de Salses Leucate, close to Perpignan and the Pyrenees. Local residents and elected representatives will be invited and encouraged to take part in the project (welcome, mutual aid, solidarity and exchanges).

🎒 Leisure activities

This workcamp will enable you to carry out several activities: opening up the environment (cutting down trees), delimiting the protected area from the area frequented by kitesurfers, for example (installing wooden barriers), and uprooting invasive species to enable endemic species (flora or fauna) to reproduce. The aim of the project is to preserve the area around the pond, whether through visitor management or plant management. You will work 25h/week.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: "Adult between 18 to 30. No other condition required."
Deadline: 25/09/2024 10:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
