🏢 About the local organisation
The Youth centre of Florenville contributes to the social and cultural development of the region by giving youngsters the opportunity to meet each other and discover new leisure activities. To this end, the Youth center takes part in the organization of the Tale Festival of Chiny along with the association “Chiny Cité des Contes”. The Festival lasts one week-end. It offers a wide range of tales told in French by international professional story tellers (from Quebec, various African countries…). Most tales are for adults and youngsters. http://www.mjcf.be and http://www.conte.be
