🏢 About the local organisation
"The Green Workshop", created in 2009, has been organising "The Festival Sauvage" (Wild Festival in English) for 6 years now.
Our main objectives are: making nature accessible to all, protecting and valuing biodiversity and our local environment. The association is mainly carrying out actions with schools, local actors and all the people interested on these topics.
Every year, we raise awareness among more than 10.000 children thanks to 5 employees (including 4 Environment Educators), hundreds of our members and around 30 volunteers. Activities always call on various educational approaches (cognitive, affective, playful, sensory, psychomotor) for a better understanding and attention of our audience. For kids as for adults, between friends or in family, "the Wild Festival" welcomes you every evening in a different municipality, with a well-established formula:
- Late in the afternoon, the Festival begins with the "Wild Rally": more than 10 recreational and sensory activities in the style of a "huge carnival" (sensory and wooden games, nature discovery and quizz). Take part in all the activities to participate in the Wild Tombola and try to win numerous green gifts!
- Then, enjoy the twilight for a friendly break in the open air, a picnic on the spot or a dinner restore in the "Inn of the Badger".
- Lastly, in the dark night, settle yourself for projections on big screen of movies relative to nature or environmental issues.
This year, the festival will take place from August 30th until September 2nd.
In the program:
Laxou: in August 30th (Topic: "The small carnivores")
Froville: in August 31st (Topic: "Dive into the universe of the water") /
Sion: in September 1st (Topic: "The world of forests") /
