The association Opus organises volunteer workcamps for the protection and development of the natural heritage in Provence and in the Mediterranean Basin. The aim is to favour the participation of citizen, on a local and international scale by applying the principles of popular education.

How does it work

Volunteers contribute to a local heritage project for 2-3 weeks, living in groups led by experienced teams. Work takes place in the mornings, leaving afternoons and weekends free to explore the territory.

Who can apply

Volunteers of any age and from all over the world.

Conditions

There are participation fees varying based on the project, which cover membership, food, collective accommodation (sometimes rudimentary); leisure activities and travel during the workcamp; supervision; civil liability and medical insurances.

Travel expenses are paid by the volunteer.
