🏢 About the local organisation
Le Domaine provincial de Chevetogne is a large center for environmental education and social tourism. There is a huge park spanning over 550 acres and a modest castle.
Students from primary and secondary schools come there to participate in activities focusing on discovering the nature and a rural way of life. During the summer, many kids and families make a one-day excursion to the Domaine or stay there for holidays to do sports, picnics and observe nature.
Motivated and professional staff from Le Domaine de Chevetogne hope to share their passion for the environment with international volunteers.
Your support will help the center promote healthy behavior and well-being among families and kids (UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being, UN SDG4 Quality education).
