PROTECTING HERITAGE 2
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Since 2015, Concordia has a very strong partnership with the town of Clermont l'Herault and local associations that promote the discovery of local heritage.
The offices of our regional delegation are located in the town. We carry out several volunteer projects for young people in the area. We work together with volunteers from local heritage associations. The enhancement of the calade on the communal path contributes to the enrichment of the commune's heritage.
💼 What the programme involves
Do you love heritage and nature and want to make yourself useful? Come and contribute to the development of the heritage trails in Clermont L'Herault!
The municipality wishes to maintain these paths for the pleasure of hikers. Discover the rich heritage of the commune, with its archaeological oppidum, its castle, its capitelles, its small dry-stone walls, and its calades in an exceptional natural environment near the Salagou lake. Your work will consist of enhancing the Clermont-Herault heritage by carrying out small-scale landscaping work, clearing undergrowth or even making the accesses and paths leading to these different sites safe.
This work is essential to maintain these paths while allowing visitors, walkers and the curious of all horizons to come and discover this rich heritage!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay at the campsite at Lac du Salagou. You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag and duvet) and live together in a municipal room provided for the group. The campsite is equipped with individual showers, toilets as well as a washing machine and wifi. 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
Clermont L'Herault is a charming little town located north of Montpellier in the South of France. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and a remarkable natural environment (Lac du Salagou, rivers of the Gorges de l'Herault nearby), it also has a rich cultural heritage with its castle and its cathedral.
In the heart of a preserved setting, you can enjoy outdoor activities and make cultural and festive discoveries
⚠️ Requirements
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 will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
This project is supported by the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program for young people between 18 and 30. It is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria.
The participation to ESC volunteering teams is subjected to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en
- volunteers do not have to pay any fee (neither sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project and will receive financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established depending on their travel distance and upon the presentation of original tickets;
- volunteers need to enrol in the PASS, the ESC Portal; then Concordia France will organise their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project;
- volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on the basis of 6€/day, once they arrive at the project in France;
- volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online through the portal.
ℹ️ Additional information
Remember to bring gloves, clothes and shoes for work. Nights can be chilly, so bring a good warm duvet. It is strongly recommended that you can swim if you want to enjoy the river. Feel free to bring something you would like to share with others (a speciality from your country, a musical instrument, an object from your culture etc.)
