The 4 components of the project

Project components

Nature

- A preserved natural environment rich in biodiversity: the forest, the ponds, the Pierre Percée lake, the Vosges massif, the plains (the Vosges Piedmont)... far from pollution.

- La Soye, a place driven by a sustainable lifestyle: ecological renovation, reasoned management of energy, resources (use of local wood material), waste (recycle, repair), permaculture developments...

- Respecting the environment also means respecting human nature: project of activities linked to health, well-being, personal development, caring communication, permaculture...

An educational place

- Raise awareness about environmental protection, particularly the natural forest environment. Observe the different ecosystems (pond, forest, meadow, hedge, etc.). Understand the importance of biodiversity.

- Initiate the ecological transition for sustainable development practices: permaculture, ecological construction, energy reductions, relationship with nature...

- Promote an ""active"" approach to immersing oneself in a sustainable environment: participatory construction/renovation projects, exchanges of services, practical workshops (fire making, plants and wild cooking, sensitive approach to the forest, women's circle, communication non-violent, personal development, cooperative games...)

Create a link

- Maintain authentic and grounded relationships, in our exchanges with humans, with nature. Distance yourself from the virtual world.

- Develop local exchanges, mutual aid and solidarity, encourage meetings: Local exchange system (exchange of services), exchanges around the garden, meetings in the forest, afternoon board games, etc.

Cultural sharing

- Activities, stays in partnership with existing local stakeholders, in order to highlight the heritage and know-how of the region, between Vezouze in Piedmont and the Vosges Massif.

- An association will carry out activities and regular meetings (game library, community bar, festive evenings, etc.).
