Villa Arson on the road to ecological transition

JC Lett

In December 2024, the innovative Classe Climatprogram was launched at the Villa Arson, with the support of theUniversité Côte d’Azur, as part of the missions carried out by the Vice-Présidence Transitions Environnementales et Sociétales. Aimed at Villa Arson staff, this course is designed to train staff in the challenges of ecological transition and find concrete solutions to reduce the Villa Arson’s environmental footprint.

The Climate Class will take place over a period of five months, from December 2024 to April 2025, including 2 plenary days to launch and close the program and 9 “solutions” oriented workshops around the following themes:

– Building, energy, water
– Biodiversity
– Food
– Eco-production
– Evaluation of artistic projects
– Cultural and professional mobility
– Communication and publishing
– Waste
– Digital sobriety
