A model for sustainable production and consumption practices and eco-entrepreneurship development

Centre de Formation Agricole Frère Remi is a training centre catering to young people, aiming to develop their academic and vocational skills. The centre welcomes teenagers aged between 12 and 18 years old who have experienced successive academic failures, mainly at the primary school level. It offers courses in mathematics, French, English, livestock rearing, horticulture, floriculture, mosaiculture, phytotechnics and zootechnics. The teenagers are encouraged by coaches and volunteers to develop their vocational skills in order to eventually start up their own micro-businesses. This project is a step towards ensuring that the centre is armed with adequate tools to engage not only the students of the centre but Rodrigues Island society in general in achieving sustainable development through sustainable consumption and production patterns and practices.
