📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Hérault department is our partner. The project takes place in the beautiful village of Cessenon-Sur-Orb. We are renewing this partnership for the fifth year with once again a project combining art and environmental protection in this commune. Your work in favour of the protection of sensitive natural areas, while being creative, will help to embellish and enhance this leisure area!
💼 What the programme involves
We propose to introduce you to the art of mosaic to dress picnic tables by the river. Supervised by a specialist, this creative work will follow on from last year's fresco on the theme of biodiversity. By creating reminders of the colours of the fresco, this mosaic work will help to embellish the leisure area while at the same time being useful in protecting the tables in this sensitive natural area in a sustainable way.
🏠 Accommodation on site
At the riverside campsite in Cessenon-Sur-Orb. Sleeping in individual tents (bring your own camping mat and sleeping bag). We also have a marquee for collective living and all the necessary equipment. You will share the various collective tasks, including taking turns preparing meals. We will use healthy and local products. If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know in advance of the workcamp.
