📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Herault department is our partner on this workcamp. The project takes place in the beautiful village of Cessenon-Sur-Orb. We are renewing this partnership for the seven consecutive year with once again a work camp combining art and environmental protection in this village. Your work in favour of the protection of sensitive natural areas, while being creative, will allow to embellish and enhance this space intended for leisure activities!
💼 What the programme involves
Come discover mosaic art to decorate picnic tables by the river in the heart of the nature in the South of France!
Supervised by a specialist, this creative work will follow on from last year's work on the theme of biodiversity. Mosaic is an exciting work that requires meticulousness, agility and insight. The artistic work thus created will embellish the recreation area while being useful to protect in a sustainable way the tables present on this sensitive natural space.
