Meeting yourself, others… and donkeys.
Go on an adventure with the donkeys of Baladanes de l'Hermeton!
For children and young people – An extraordinary experience
For more than 20 years , our association Les Baladanes de l'Hermeton , based in Sautour (Province of Namur) , has invited children and young people to experience unique moments to the rhythm of the donkey .
On the program: discovery, nature, mutual aid, autonomy… and lots of fun!
An experience rich in discoveries
Our activities are aimed at schools, leisure centers, youth centers, youth support services, specialized institutions , etc.
Each outing is a gentle and joyful immersion in the world of donkeys and nature .
Whether for a few hours or several days, our donkeys become true and trusted traveling companions.
What young people gain from it
Learn differently : understand the donkey's behavior, take care of it, read its body language.
Gaining confidence : guiding a donkey, carrying equipment, walking together – every action counts.
Create a bond : with others, with the animal, with yourself.
Breathe : away from screens, near trees, in the calm of the paths.
Act with respect : for animals, for the environment, for the community.
