The school and association is located on the Domaine de Chantemerle, a private, ecologically renovated and farm, where it has access to 30ha of forests and fields. We focus on outdoor learning responsive to each child's interests, strengths, and needs, in order to equip them to make the world of tomorrow.

La Forêt du Je Libre will develop individual projects with you, and ensure that you acquire a wide range of experience and new skills. The activities of the association are very diverse, so there is plenty of scope for getting involved outside of school time. French language training will be provided on a daily basis and online. Language courses: online language courses are offered free of charge to volunteers. You will also have a supporting organisation from your country.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
