🏢 About the local organisation
For many years, the commune of Melle has been strongly committed to respecting the environment. It is therefore committed to safeguarding and enhancing biodiversity. This year, the municipality is committed to develop the multi-activity space in the town centre, between the social centre, the housing centre and the media library. In this way, interculturality will come to life closer to the locals with awareness raising activities engaging the community in intercultural values and international solidarity.
