Together for the animation and the development of the rural land

Since more than 50 years, a great movement of popular education and thousands of voluntary at the service of rurality

Composed of the FNFR (National Confederation of the foyers ruraux and associations of animation and development of the rural territory) and of the FNSMR (national Federation of the sport in rural territory), the rural Movement gathers more than 2 700 foyers ruraux and other associations, more than 200 000 members and voluntary which means more than 1 000 jobs of organisers-entertainers (measured in full time equivalents).

Our main axes of action:
> culture everywhere and for all: cultural actions reinforcing the social bond (visual arts, cinema, tale, reading, music, heritage, theatre, science)
> integrated tourism: actions in bond with the eco-tourisme or "green tourism", respectful of the natural and human environment
> the sport accessible to all : practical of leisure... and championships
> a participation in the local life and in local development by taking responsibilities in an individual and a collective way
> Different formations concerning all the public : members, voluntary, professional
> an opening to the others and to the world which supports the citizenship (international exchanges, environment, Europe, youth, rural languages, multimedia, universities)

... as well as tools of formation and communication for the actors of the rural world : magazines "ANIMER (To animate), the rural magazine", "RuralSport", other publications, @UPRES (Permanent Rural University of Exchanges and Knowledge)
