First Time on a Discovery Class Trip?

We have compiled below some tips to help you find the necessary funding for your project and quickly prepare your application.
When building your project, funding is often the most important aspect.
Here are several avenues to explore:

The County Council, your local community, your town hall often have departure assistance programs,
The parent-teacher associations, school funds are also important supports. They can organize events to raise funds to contribute to the trip,
You can benefit from assistance via ANCV (holiday vouchers). An application form can be downloaded from the website: www.jpa.asso.fr

What aid is available?

ANCV develops social action programs. It is within this policy axis that the JPA/ANCV agreement falls. Discovery classes or educational school trips are stays outside the classroom that promote a different way of acquiring knowledge, but also another path to opening up to the world and to others. ANCV and JPA share this same approach to educational vacation and leisure time supported by real educational projects.
Preschools and elementary schools, medico-social establishments for young people, colleges and agricultural education establishments, MFR in Isère can benefit from financial aid as part of the “Discovering ENS” (Sensitive Natural Areas) scheme.

The Environmental Education and Sustainable Development Project at the Chalet Des Coulmes

During the stay, everyone will be made aware of the center’s “environmental education for sustainable development” project through daily actions and targeted activities:

Waste sorting and composting,
Food waste prevention,
Energy consumption management,
Respect for water resources.

Like the hummingbird in the ecological fable, the Vacances Léo Lagrange association at Les Coulmes wishes to contribute and work towards more sustainable management of the chalet’s surroundings, favorable to biodiversity, its understanding and respect:

Late mowing and flower meadows,
Installation of insect hotels,
Setting up bird nesting boxes and bat shelters,
Creation of rocky areas…

We were able to take a big step in terms of “energy a few years ago. The municipality of Rencurel has managed to equip itself with a modern and efficient collective wood heating system. At Col de Romeyère, different structures can thus benefit from a source of renewable” energy, consistent with this forested territory.

Food, Health, and Territories:

We are proud to be at the origin, along with other holiday centers and the support of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, of the Food Health and Territories initiative.

This approach carries significant stakes for the territory: healthy food accessible to all, maintaining agriculture supported by the consumption of local products, preserved environments, biodiversity, and living conditions.

We therefore pay particular attention to the origin and quality of products served at the table. Vercors trout, local cheeses, local and organic bread… We also offer stays centered on the theme of food.
