A volunteer workcamp allows volunteers of any geographical, social and cultural horizons to meet and to contribute together to a common project of development or embellishment of the local heritage. During 2 to 3 weeks, the volunteers live in a group under the direction of an experienced team of supervisor. They learn in the morning about the traditional techniques of the old built by contributing to the saving of a site or a monument, whereas the afternoons and the weekend are reserved for the discovery of the territory. Those are holidays rich in sense and unforgettable moments. An APARE workcamp brings together the commitment of a team of volunteers and a local council authority with the objective of carrying out a project to preserve and develop features of local heritage and of the environment. The programme runs at various locations across Provence and the Mediterranean regions. At APARE workcamps projects completed include road and landscaping improvements and church and castle preservation and restoration, among others. No particular technical skills are required for participation: motivation and goodwill are sufficient.
