Nature, culture and awareness at the heart of the Ecology Festival

To discover nature in a different way, several walks will be offered during the day. The “Zinzin Walks”, led by Maxime Lemoing, will invite participants to explore their environment through listening to soundscapes, with departures at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Lorraine Nature Environnement will also organize “Sauvages de ma Rue” walks, dedicated to the identification of spontaneous plants in the city.

The artistic program will take place in the Cloister gardens. Students from the Gabriel Pierné Conservatoire in Metz will provide several musical performances: a Metz singing concert, a violin duo, and a guitar concert. At 5 p.m., the ArtiMouv company will present the dance show “Murmure de l’Envol”.

Workshops will also be organized throughout the day. The Une Empreinte Pas à Pas association will offer “Mini Voyages in 2030 Glorious”, 15-minute participatory sessions inviting people to imagine sustainable futures. At 2:30 p.m., the French Society of Ethnopharmacology will host a herbal tea making workshop in the Apothecary.

An escape box dedicated to water preservation will be accessible from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Carrée room. Throughout the game, participants will discover the water cycle, the pollution that affects it and the means to preserve this resource. The day will also allow you to discover “La Colline en Fête”, as well as the exhibition “The May Fair, a history of the funfair”, presented at the Municipal Archives of Metz.
