Epicurium

2 , ClosedDescription du projet
Located in Avignon (France), the association Epicurium is a place wholly dedicated to fruits and vegetables bound for a wide public. The objective is to foster a greater understanding of the wealth and benefits of fruit and vegetables, and the way of cultivating them in a sustainable agricultural approach. Epicurium therefore offers an exhibition about fruit and vegetables from seed to plate, a patch through the gardens, not forgetting a year-round program of cooking and gardening workshops. All this adds up to a unique venue for the sensory, scientific and cultural discovery of fruits and vegetables, which promotes important values such as health, education, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, food quality... Epicurium welcomes individual visitors and groups of all ages, particularly the school public from the nursery school to the high school. 2 Volunteers will participate in the life of Epicurium and help the team in welcoming groups and organizing events/ activities.
