Our centre is located in the south of the Vienne department, in the foothills of the Limousin, an area well-suited to walking and hiking.

The activities and experiences on the farm can promote the following responses :

• openess to others : a subject of conversation, a vehicle for social development (encouraging members of the group to get to know one another and appreciate each other)
• empowerment : through caring and feeding the animals
• emotional security : a sourcy of affection, comfort and pleasure
• a channel for aggression, giving rise to more sociable behaviour = give and take.
• sense of balance : building self-confidence, being able to be useful (the reward for the effort being the satisfaction of achievement).
• a source of motivation for writing, for further research, a pretext for school work between the sessions.
• forges a link between the past and the present (particularly for adults who have lived in the countryside)

The activities are accessible to participants over 6 years with physical, hearing or learning disabilities.
