Abri&co is a youth project that took
its start 6 years ago, by local young people looking for active rural
and innovative initiatives.
Based on 4 main activities (environment
friendly building, organic gardening, artistic animation and youth
hosting), we try to develop the local comunity life by offering the
young people a place to experiment themselves: on the activities
enumerated above, but also on everything that comes to the mind;
Today,
we got a lovely small living place, made up of a small building,
kitchen place, bath and toilet place, organic garden. Artistic projects
like book, marionet performance, theater, public debate, rural cinema,
also have been or are on the track. We are forecasting to implement the
construction of a larger building, a larger external wood hoven, ...
We constantly trying to get the local comunity to create locally an
atmosphere of freedom, participation and peace.
