Culture Rennes

Would you like to reduce your waste, but don't have the opportunity to compost at home? There are over 500 collective composters in the metropolis, free of charge and accessible to all. The number is set to rise to 2,200 in the future. Managed collectively, they enable waste (peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, paper napkins, etc.) to be transformed into organic matter. Composting can save between 45 and 60 kilos of waste per inhabitant per year! Collective composting areas are listed on the Rennes Métropole website. And if you have a garden, you can reserve a free composter for your home online.

Le Triangle, a nationally recognized "art and creation" stage for dance, has been based in the Blosne district of Paris since 1985. It offers the public the chance to discover a wide range of choreographic performances: urban, contemporary, baroque dance... with the aim of crossing genres and disciplines. Theater, graphic and digital arts are also on offer, both indoors and in the large covered hall. Numerous courses and workshops are offered: experimental dance, capoeira, singing, clowning and many others. Created primarily for the residents of the southern districts of Rennes, the center's aim is to democratize culture, attracting audiences from all over Rennes and the surrounding area.

The MIR is a lively organization, offering a wide range of events throughout the year. We could mention, for example, the discovery of Brazil through cinema, Europe Days, extracurricular workshops or even the Solidarity Festival. As you can see, it's a place you'll want to visit often, to discover other cultures and open up to others in a spirit of fraternity. The Maison Internationale de Rennes brings together more than a hundred international associations in Rennes working in the fields of human rights, Europe, international solidarity, intercultural exchange and migration. The MIR hosts meetings, exhibitions, conferences and films on international solidarity and intercultural issues. Throughout the year, it is possible to organize events to discover current international affairs, and to take part in awareness-raising activities on themes linked to climate change, and the fight against inequality and discrimination. It's also a place for advice and training, enabling associations and schools to set up international development and exchange projects. A professional team welcomes, informs, advises, experiments and leads projects, in liaison with member associations. It follows the guidelines and projects set by the association's governing bodies, which include elected representatives. So don't hesitate to drop in, as it's a rich place to discover.
