SJ/ESC20 - Natural Power Lab

Description

At Les Prureaux, we're committed to sustainable development, and this year we're taking another step towards a greener future. We invite you to take part in a unique project that combines renewable energies: the construction of a solar water heater, a wind turbine to charge electronic devices and an eco-friendly bicycle washer. Come and take action for the environment while experimenting with low-tech projects. Join us in harnessing the power of sun, wind and motion, and let's build a greener future together!

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The aim is to design, build and install ecological systems that harness renewable energy sources to improve everyday life in a sustainable way. Activities include preparing the site for the solar system, building the base and installing the panels, creating a wind turbine with generator to charge appliances, and making a functional bicycle washer using human energy. This project is an opportunity to experiment with ecological alternatives.

Training during the activity

You will be accommodated in various shared sleeping rooms for 4 to 8 people at Château du Créneau. Wi-Fi is not available on site. Food will be provided and prepared in the château kitchen by you and other participants in groups, with the support of the kitchen supervisors.
