Solution

The Mountain Riders philosophy:

Raise awareness without moralizing;Work with everyone;Make change a positive process around concrete alternatives.

The association acts by encouraging children and young people to become drivers of change, by inviting riders to commit to a responsible approach, by supporting tourism players and by involving citizens and elected representatives. Boosted by the tools of popular education and doped with concrete actions for transition, she is committed to energizing the relationship between all these players. Her strength lies in always being on the move, daring and innovating! In her actions, she strives every day to embody the change she wishes to see in the world.

Why we love it?

We love this association whose ambition is its watchword. In order to combat the scourge of waste invading our mountains, Mountain Riders has chosen to tackle the root of the problem. In addition to their litter-picking efforts, they have undertaken a number of awareness-raising initiatives!

The meaning of our actions lies in education, training and awareness-raising: helping people to understand what's at stake, giving them a sense of direction, accepting debates and ideas, reflecting together in order to take action.
