Information

What is it like to work as a seasonal mountain pasture employee in 2026? From the Alps to the Pyrenees, via the Massif Central, between dream job and reality, follow shepherds and cattle herders on their summer pastures. What does a day spent caring for herds in the mountains look like? What skills are required, what working conditions can be found, and how can you enter these practical, meaningful professions connected to living systems? Through testimonies, feedback, and field observations, training managers for transhumant shepherd and cattle herder programs, along with shepherds themselves, will help shed light on these extraordinary professions. Speakers: National Association of Schools for Transhumant Shepherds and Cattle Herders
