Also this year during the summer period the associations APARE, Association pour la Participation et l’Action Régionale, and CME, “Centre Méditerranéen de l’Environnement”, will organise several volunteers workcamps. APARE, European youth organization based in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, since its creation, in 1979, has been organizing every year many workcamps in Algeria, Greece, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia in addition to France and south-western Italian Alps.
They are Euro-Mediterranean multidisciplinary camps dedicated to young people and experts that would like to discover a territory deepening specific topics such as environmental and biodiversity safeguarding, eco-tourism, prevention to natural risks. After the attention to the risk communication of last year, this year workcamps are characterized by a specific attention to eco-tourism thanks to the realization of natural or archeological paths aimed to communicate to visitors the history, culture and environment of those places.
Those places, result of the reciprocal influence between environment and inhabitants, are communicated firstly to the volunteers who learn about them, study and dedicate to them their own holidays, but also to tourists who will visit them and to inhabitants themselves who will be able to rediscover their cultural heritage. Workcamps 2010 will be held in Tunisia (Hammamet), in Morocco (Marrakech, Tamesloht and Tanger-Tétouan), in Algeria (Cherchell), in France (Provence) and, finally, in Italy (Alps of Cuneo Province).
For those who want to spend a sustainable and surely original holiday, characterized by the sense of discovery, training and environmental communication that passes throughout the development of an eco-tourism, we suggest to see the association’s website where it is possible to find more detailed information about the projects, registrations and costs.
