Difficulty level :
Since 2008, our association has been dedicated to experimenting with, showcasing, and promoting practical, technical, and fun solutions to the challenges posed by climate change, pollution, energy production, and waste.
Since 2010, we have occupied a 3-hectare plot of land in the town of Pleumeur-Bodou.
The association’s initiative began with the eco-friendly renovation of an old, dilapidated farmhouse on the property. Through participatory work projects and using whatever resources were available, volunteers have successfully preserved this building over the years.
These collaborative work sessions have provided numerous opportunities for sharing knowledge and exchanging expertise.
Workshops
Our courses and workshops are designed to be accessible to everyone and reflect our commitment to supporting behavioral changes toward more eco-friendly and resilient lifestyles.
From February to October, over 90 sessions are offered in a variety of fields:
woodworking | carpentry | roof framing |
eco-construction | metalworking | low-tech |
basketry | leatherwork | gardening |
permaculture | arboriculture | ecological sanitation |
foraging and vegetarian cooking. |

Fun explorations & nature trails!
In addition, the association offers creative education on ecological issues by welcoming visitors to a 2-hectare park, a playful space for experimenting with practical solutions for an ecological transition.
Open from April to September, and designed to be guided or explored independently, it is aimed at families and tourists, as well as public and private institutions.
Children’s
Activities All activities offered by the Ecocenter team are planned in consultation with teachers and facilitators to best meet their expectations and suit the participants’ ages.
Large wooden play structures are also scattered throughout the site, offering a brief break for recreation between activities.
