MONTFERRAT

CODE: CONCF- 1313

Project and work :

Help preserve Montferrat's local heritage!

Located in the north-east of the commune of Montferrat, the Pierrepont spring is a place of refreshment for many villagers during the summer. With the aim of restoring the site's hydraulic heritage, an important element in the history and life of the village, you'll be tasked with clearing and demarcating the area to be rebuilt using picks and shovels; resuming the foundations on the sections requiring it; sorting the stones and assembling a hard base; building the low wall leading to the spring.

Take part in the enhancement of this committed and culturally rich commune, while making unforgettable encounters!

Accommodation and meals:

Accommodation will be in tents provided by Concordia in the outdoor area of the stadium. This will be a large field with grass and shady trees. Access to the stadium's showers, kitchen and WC is included.

You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together, outdoors in a summer kitchen or under the small covered facility. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, and you'll help with the shopping, giving preference to healthy, local produce.

Partner :

The commune of Montferrat joins Concordia in a 3-year project to revitalize damaged cultural heritage. For the year 2025, the commune wishes to focus on the restoration of the hydraulic heritage on the Pierrepont site. The commune's elected representatives are delighted to welcome a group of young internationals to lead this first workcamp with Concordia!
