This summer, two workcamps will take place on the festival “Sable Show”, second biggest urban beach in France (behind Paris’ “Paris-Plage”). Every day, this fair offers water games, a giant slide, a climbing park, recreational and sports activities, cultural gatherings, tours and concerts; all free of charge. Concordia’s participation will focus on sustainable development and environmental friendly actions during this event. The volunteers from the workcamps will also bring an “international flavor” to the festival and will be in contact with the local population and the youth of Clermont-Ferrand city. WORK You will work at the construction of dry toilets and solar showers. They will be wood-build manually and will be dismountable for transportation, in order to be reused in the next years. You will also create material safety signs and information panels on the use of these constructs. Finally, you will raise the public awareness to these environmental actions.
