Developing our sponsorship around training and social inclusion
A. Supporting the Agence du Don en Nature (organisation redistributing unsold clothing to avoid wastage) in its growth
Activa Capital has been a sponsor of the association since its creation in 2008. After supporting several initiatives of the Agence du Don en Nature in recent years, we wanted to provide more personalized support to the Executive Director, Stéphanie Goujon, by making her meet our entrepreneurs and via a dedicated session of skills sponsorship.
B. Creating a partnership around sustainable agriculture and training
In June 2017, we met Nicolas Géant, entrepreneur and first beekeeper to offer businesses the opportunity of urban beekeeping. Through interacting with him and his team on the current issues of beekeeping, we decided together to create a partnership to develop the training of beekeepers.
C. Setting up the first diploma course in beekeeping alongside “Apprentis d’Auteuil”
Following a meeting in September 2017 with Beeopic and the Apprentis d’Auteuil foundation, Activa Capital is supporting the establishment of a training module for beekeeping. The module, called “Discovering urban beekeeping”, has been validated by the French ministry for agriculture and will be run by Beeopic as an option within 2 vocational baccalaureate diplomas. Activa Capital is funding the course via the apprenticeship tax.
