A Question of Culture is an association set up within the framework of the 1901 non-profit making associations law, which is concerned with the social and professional integration of people in difficult or precarious circumstances. It is aimed at the unemployed, the disabled, ex-prisoners, single mothers etc. The ‘tool’ at its disposal is an organic market-garden.


 

In conjunction with its main goal, the association :
• Helps elderly and/or socially excluded persons or persons on the very edges of society to re-discover a useful occupation and hobby.
• Provides support - in terms of exchange of skills, materials and time - for small farmers isolated in their daily lives.
• Helps make children and adolescents more aware of environmental issues. Provides a place for the younger and older generations to meet and exchange ideas.
• Provides many families with a weekly basket of organic vegetables (as a means of supporting the association).
• Provides social, professional and cultural support.

Employees (on short-term, state-subsidised CEC or CES contracts) count on the support of the association for help in setting up/working on a personal or professional project with the aim of finding long-term employment.

The association uses organic market-gardening as a means of socially and professionally (re)integrating its employees.
Top-quality, organic, seasonal vegetables grown in the association’s garden are delivered to the association’s members every Thursday along with the garden’s newsletter, « Feuille de Choux » (‘The Cabbage Leaf’).
