A vision for the future
D’Jouv is a new centre offering the world’s youth a place to learn about, discover, seek, and create a sustainable future. With the help of their teachers or the volunteers accompanying them, they can play a role in searching for solutions to the planet’s environmental problems. D’Jouv has everything in place to:
- inspire action and discovery
- bring together the world’s youth to share, create bonds, and work together on fascinating projects
- provide youth their own space so they can collectively dream of their future.
We can accommodate up to 150 kids in three pavilions featuring comfortable rooms with private bathrooms. D’Jouv uses green technology in its construction: solar panels, water savers, recycled materials, etc. Once the entire site is completed, D’Jouv will obtain the tools youth require for the many activities and workshops planned.
The dream is already very much alive. This is what one young person had to say: “I didn’t think there was anything we could do about pollution. But that’s not true – we can undertake all kinds of projects without destroying the planet. D’Jouv does it – and its fun too!”
D’Jouv believes that sustainable development begins today. Care to join us?
