This project " Domaine de Mozet " coordinated by Belgian Service Club Namur is made in collaboration with two German sending organizations ( Experiment e.V. and Citta de Torino) and includes two volunteers for a period of 9 months
The purpose of this project is to provide opportunities and resources for young volunteers to get involved and participate in the improvement of their planet. To do this, on the one hand , they will discover teaching methods practiced at the Domaine and secondly they can bring their own vision and inform leaders about practices in their country. Awareness tools are in place and include animations, training in the nature and citizenship.
The Park is an integral part of this project because it is the place of experimentation and actual practice the taught methods . Eventually, it should be a showcase of sustainable development. It has an area of about eleven hectares. The project can accommodate a young EVS wishing to inform and train the environmental policy of the institution and practice of work -related rural heritage.
The " Park " project is complementary to the project "animation" in that it contributes to the maintenance and management of the areas required for the deployment of “ecocivic” activities.
