SUPPORT NATURE IN THE SWAMP

The meeting will take place in BOURGES train station on the 3rd of July, end of the afternoon.

The exact meeting time will be communicated with the infosheet, which we will send maximum 4 weeks before the beginning of the workcamp.

If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.

You can book your train tickets 4 months before the start of the workcamp on SNCF website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/

You will be accommodated in tents (provided by Concordia) close to the worksite! Group life will be organized nearby in a room provided for the group. There, you will share the various group tasks and activities. Together, you will participate in organizing group life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and take turns preparing meals using products you will purchase locally. The activity leaders will have a budget to cover these expenses, but you will be responsible for preparing the menus and doing your own shopping. A vegetarian diet using local and seasonal products will be preferred, while respecting the participants dietary requirements and allowing you to discover local cuisine.
