The EDEN 62 association is a long-standing partner of Concordia, committed to the preservation and enhancement of natural spaces in the Pas-de-Calais region. In 2019, we collaborated with them to carry out the first European Solidarity Corps (ESC) team project, an innovative and enriching experience. Today, we are renewing this partnership to relaunch the dynamics of international workcamps together, with a spirit of cooperation and knowledge sharing.
As a key player in environmental protection, EDEN 62 works to safeguard local biodiversity through the maintenance of sensitive natural areas, public awareness campaigns, and the organization of concrete actions on the ground. Their commitment to sharing, environmental education, and the preservation of natural heritage aligns perfectly with the values of Concordia. This project marks the return of a valuable collaboration, with the shared ambition to combine environmental action, intercultural exchange, and civic engagement.

You will be accommodated in individual tents in the park of the former château of Dannes, just a few meters from the beach. One of the château’s rooms will serve as a communal living space. Sanitary facilities will be available on-site, though without hot water, while showers will be accessible at the town’s stadium, a 10-minute walk away. You will share daily collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders, and you will take part in grocery shopping, prioritizing healthy and local products.
