Descripiton of the host organisation
Founded in march 2004, the association 3PA (Penser, Parler, Partager, Agir – Thinking, Speaking, Sharing, Acting) is an organisation dedicated to environmental education and training situated in Lahage in Haute-
Garonne. The overarching goal of our activities is to encourage and develop local initiatives and experiences. Our main missions are to accompany, to educate/train and to inform. All of the above are based on the pedagogical principles of practical ecology and ecology for all. In order to include everyone – especially those most distanced from ecological practices – our activities rely on experimenting and trying out.
In this sense, 3PAs core principles are collective learning and exchange of knowledge, integration of environmental conscience into everyday and professional life, as well as the practical implementation of ecological principles. Accordingly, combining environmentally conscious practices with youth and educational activities are at the heart of our association. 3PA is an association for education and training in the ecological transition that has existed since 2004. Since its creation, the goal of the association has been to aware and educate all the public, and in particular young people, on environmentally friendly practices. nature and the environment. This commitment to young people in general, and young people in difficulty in particular, is strongly focused with the creation of the first School of Environmental Transition, which aims to support and train young people in the trades of ecological transition. In 2017, more than 875 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 benefited from our ecological transition workshops and trainings. We are therefore a committed association for young people and for the ecological transition. Plus d'information sur www.3paformation.fr, www.ecoletransition.eu.
