Showcase for the “Take care of our destination together” project

As recently announced, the Sutton Economic Development Corporation (CDES), in collaboration with the D’Arts et de rêves organization, invites you to take part in the Showcase event to “Take Care of Our Destination Together”. The trail co-creation project aims to showcase soft mobility, culture, landscapes, heritage and more, in a sustainable way. To date, over 200 people have taken part in the process. This has already helped to break down silos and bring out a unifying project. The two-day event will feature a presentation of the project and the creation of a monumental outdoor collective work. Don’t miss the chance to add your own color!
