What?
A year of exploration and practical experience for young people aged 18+ (or on request) who want to get off the beaten paths, find meaning in their lives, affirm their uniqueness, live intensely, and find their place in an evolving world. Self-knowledge, audacity, creativity, connection with Nature, project development - À PART ENTIÈRE is a laboratory of life in its raw state.
When?
The À PART ENTIÈRE year runs from August to July, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (+ Jura school holidays). Lunches are included and prepared by the participants. Accommodation is not provided..
Where?
À PART ENTIÈRE is located at the Villa Müller in Delémont. The rooms of this old mansion full of character, as well as the large wooded garden that surrounds it, offer an ideal setting for the realization of the proposed activities. Villa Müller is located on Route de Bâle 17, opposite Théâtre du Jura, a 10-minute walk from the train station. Some activities take place extra muros.
How Much?
Tuition is indexed to the parents’ income (-25 years old) or to the situation of the participant (+25 years old). Feel free to contact us, without obligation on your part, for an estimate of the tuition: info@apartentiere.ch
MONDAY - FOOD AND CHORES
Le lundi, entre pâte à pain qui lève, spatules et balais, se mijotent la semaine et ses délices. Comment vivre ensemble, cuisiner des choses étonnantes, fabriquer ses produits, récupérer ce qu’on peut et inventer le reste ? On se frotte au quotidien en Sisyphe heureux et on remplit sa besace de mille astuces vertes et pratiques.
TUESDAY - HINDSIGHT AND GUTS
Getting out of our comfort zone, diving into ourselves, and opening up to the world is the program for Tuesday. Week after week, we make new experiences and we tame the unknown. We decipher the news, the exciting, annoying or touching subjects. We write, think and get to know people. We dare to talk about ideas and ourselves to discover what kind of human we are becoming in a moving world.
WEDNESDAY - CREATIVITY
Mid-week: time to create! We do theater, visual arts and musical experiments. We go to exhibitions, shows and we question art in all its forms. We suddenly realize that self-confidence increases, that we affirm ourselves with joy, that we juggle stories, colors and emotions and by the time spring arrives, we will be ready to play a show in front of the public!
Open THURSDAY
On open Thursday, you can do anything. ANYTHING. And even nothing, if you so desire. As long as you experience something. On Thursdays, we learn to invent, we build our toolbox, we pilot a drone, and we sometimes come up with deconditioned ideas. Sometimes it is a form of emptiness, sometimes it is downright awesome. Either way, we innovate and develop projects that can span a day or a lifetime.
FRIDAY - BIOSPHERE
In anticipation of the weekend, we go out! Cap on head in summer, warm jacket in winter, we put our hands in the ground and get drunk on Nature. Wandering through the forest, growing carrots, learning to feel the wind - both the one outside and the one inside us - taming the hostile elements, testing our limits. That is what turns Friday into an adventure! On top of that, we roam through Nature and sleep under the stars twice a year.
INTERNSHIPS
A year to experiment, it is neat. If it leads to a future project, even better! 4 weeks a year, we jump into the world of work, we do internships at companies, we discover training paths, we network and we discover different professional environments in order to tune our life-compass.
