ASS LES AMIS DES CONTES ET LÉGENDES was founded with a simple yet powerful belief — that stories, culture, and nature have the ability to transform lives. Rooted in the heart of the Sentier des Daims, an enchanting setting where imagination meets the natural world, our organization uses storytelling and heritage as bridges to education, creativity, and inclusion.

What began as a local initiative to celebrate legends and folklore has evolved into a social and cultural movement that empowers people through artistic expression and shared experiences. We bring together artists, educators, volunteers, and learners of all backgrounds to create a community where everyone can grow, contribute, and belong.

At the core of our work is a dedication to professional inclusion — helping individuals develop skills, confidence, and connections that lead to meaningful social and professional integration. Whether through cultural workshops, creative projects, or guided storytelling experiences, we open doors to new opportunities in a setting unlike any other.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote social and professional inclusion through the power of culture, creativity, and nature.

By combining the timeless art of storytelling with hands-on activities within the magical environment of the Sentier des Daims, we provide individuals with tools to express themselves, gain confidence, and develop professional and interpersonal skills. We believe that every person, regardless of background or circumstance, has a story worth telling and talents worth sharing.

Through our educational, artistic, and cultural programs, we aim to:

• Support individuals in developing professional and creative skills.

• Encourage social connection, teamwork, and self-confidence.

• Preserve and celebrate cultural heritage through storytelling and art.

• Connect people to nature as a source of inspiration, balance, and healing.

Our mission is not only to include, but also to uplift — to transform lives by helping people discover their potential through meaningful, creative engagement.

Our Vision

We envision a world where culture and creativity serve as gateways to inclusion and empowerment.

ASS LES AMIS DES CONTES ET LÉGENDES dreams of a society where everyone, regardless of origin, education, or status, can find a place to learn, grow, and contribute through shared cultural experiences. We see the Sentier des Daims as more than a destination — it is a living classroom, an open stage, and a symbol of unity between people and nature.

Our long-term vision is to:

• Build a model for inclusive cultural development that can inspire other communities.

• Expand access to cultural and artistic opportunities for all.

• Create sustainable programs that link education, art, and environmental awareness.

• Nurture future generations of storytellers, educators, and creative thinkers who carry forward our values of empathy, respect, and cooperation.

By blending heritage, creativity, and ecological awareness, we hope to create lasting impact — fostering not only personal growth but also a deeper collective understanding of our shared humanity.

Our Values

Our organization is guided by a strong set of core values that define our actions and relationships every day:

1. Inclusion
We believe that everyone deserves a chance to participate, learn, and thrive. Our programs are designed to welcome all individuals, regardless of age, ability, or background. Inclusion is not just a goal — it is the foundation of everything we do.

2. Creativity
Creativity is at the heart of transformation. We use storytelling, art, and cultural expression as powerful tools for learning and self-discovery. By encouraging creativity, we help people see new possibilities within themselves and their communities.

3. Respect
We honor people, nature, and culture. Every story, every person, and every environment deserves respect and care. Our work promotes understanding, empathy, and the preservation of cultural and natural heritage.

4. Collaboration
We believe that great things happen when people work together. Our success is built on partnerships — with educators, artists, local institutions, and volunteers — all united by a shared passion for positive change.

5. Sustainability
We are deeply committed to protecting the environment that inspires our work. The Sentier des Daims is not only our setting but also our responsibility. We integrate ecological awareness into our activities to ensure that future generations can continue to learn from and enjoy this exceptional place.

6. Empowerment
Our programs are designed to help individuals gain the confidence, knowledge, and skills they need to build independent and fulfilling lives. Empowerment is both our method and our goal.

Our Work in Action

At the Sentier des Daims, participants engage in immersive experiences that connect storytelling, performance, and environmental education. Through workshops, artistic residencies, and community projects, they learn to collaborate, communicate, and create in a supportive setting.

Children discover legends that spark imagination. Adults find new pathways to personal and professional development. Artists and volunteers exchange ideas that enrich both culture and community. Every activity we organize becomes a story — one that celebrates creativity, connection, and human potential.

Our programs don’t just teach skills; they build confidence and belonging. They demonstrate that cultural participation is not a privilege but a right — and that everyone has something valuable to contribute to the collective story.
