Organizations for solidarity and mutual aid Nancy

Born in 2009 in the Netherlands, Repair Café is exported everywhere: in Nancy, their number grows every year! This is logical, as the concept is simple, effective and good for the planet! During regular workshops, volunteer handymen repair your everyday objects that are a little worn, such as that vacuum cleaner that no longer vacuums or your toaster that no longer toasts anything! A good reflex that can make a difference in our overconsumption habits.

The LPO 54, which has nearly 860 members, is an association for the protection of nature created by the national President Alain Bougrain-Dubourg. It is concerned with birds and the ecosystems on which they depend, in particular the fauna and flora associated with them and more globally with biodiversity. All year round, it organizes birdwatching discovery or improvement outings for schools and the general public, and also carries out bird-friendly projects (nature garden). The program of activities is available on the website.

Colibris is a European movement (Belgium and Switzerland) which is part of an ecological and human approach inspired by Pierre Rabhi. The local branch Colibris 54 aims to promote meetings, exchanges and mutual aid between its members and sympathizers around the preservation and respect of nature and through many initiatives, such as organic market gardening, participation in events in the Greater Nancy area, conferences, debates and workshops. An association that already gathers more than 800 members in Nancy alone!

Of public utility, the association accompanies individuals without judgment on their sexual, religious, cultural, social or ideological identity, in complete confidentiality. It is a help to those who are in need, for an awakening of consciences and a transformation of the society. Two other sites exist in Lorraine.
