📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Lattes is a dynamic, modern town in the Montpellier metropolitan area. The town attracts many tourists in the summer thanks to its proximity to the beaches of Palavas and Carnon and the city of Montpellier, which is accessible by tram. This is our second project with this local authority, which is keen to continue its dynamic partnership with a project bringing together local and international young people.
You'll be able to take advantage of the outdoor activities on offer in the commune, as well as the festivities organised during this period. It's definitely a great project !
💼 What the programme involves
Would you like to get involved in protecting nature while enjoying creating and inventing games? We invite you to take part in this adventure between land and sea, nature and the city!
First of all, you'll be working with the Maison de la Nature to create nesting islands on the banks of the pond. You'll also be involved in combating invasive species (pulling up plants) and helping to maintain paths and groves.
Next, we'll be working on improving a camping area with its teepees, designed to accommodate young children (work on the gate and fencing). You'll be able to create outdoor games, design an artistic treasure hunt... All good ideas are welcome!
Last but not least, you can also have fun meeting local young people at the Quartier Jeunes bar and create an artistic project together!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and duvet) and live together in a municipal room provided for the group. You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders and you will participate in the shopping and preparation of the meals, favouring healthy and local products.
📍 About the location
