soothing stay with accommodation: male public aged 15-21

• Discovery of animals
• Nature discovery activities
• Well-being activities

Sharing life in a new context can enable young people to create bonds that are different from their own, bonds of trust where their words are heard and where they can reflect on themselves, free from all present or past social and emotional tensions. This place can be experienced as a space of transition, of soothing, of decompression in order to regain physical and psychic balance in a secure, containing environment.

The benefits of this type of stay for the young person :

Personal development:

• bring out desires
• (re)gain self-confidence
• reconnect with the satisfaction of succeeding
• allowing oneself to enjoy activities
• get to know, reconcile and tame your body
• contribute to the (re)construction of a positive self-image
• develop or reveal skills
• experience situations to identify and overcome limits
• facilitate letting go
• promote personal fulfillment in a safe, friendly environment
• become a player in your own care

Concerning relationships with the environment:

• provide a break from everyday life
• change reference points and behaviours by moving away and adapting to another reality
• open up to the discovery of new places to enrich and cultivate a critical sense
• Discover the living world and rural areas

• If this is the project: complete an animal mediation internship with an internship evaluation. The internship is carried out with the educator and is open to the general public.

Concerning the place in a small group based on family life
