The Bulle Ambu’lente to showcase heritage in Maine-et-Loire

Objectives:

• re-anchor citizens in the area they live
• recreate community ties in the rural environment
• promote existing initiatives which are relatively unheard of
• foster access to culture for everyone

This little mobile workshop is: 

• a mobile space for sharing and discussing, which can be set up for a few days at the heart of the village;
• a tool for educating in the environment and promoting the territory, available to all locals (schools, residents, centres for children with mental disabilities (IME), etc.);
• a stage for hosting shows or concerts for example, thereby putting local initiatives in the spotlight.

How the project came about

The Bulle Ambu'lente is a meaningful, community-based project which aims to nurture relations between people and our link to the environment. 

All of its founding members are actively involved in their community, working across the culture, environment and tourism spheres. 

The Bulle is "retro-innovative": 

• "retro" by the return to animal haulage and bringing to life the public square. It is an “original” ode to a slow-paced way of life, village life and community ties!
• "innovative" by:
  • the fact that it goes out to meet citizens;
  • its design: the Bulle is brimming with ecological innovation, thus conveying a coherent and viable message, and "setting an example";
  • the provision of a stage, a fully-fledged platform for local initiatives;
  • accessibility to all sections of society: the Bulle, set up on the village square, invites everyone to come and take part!
