We leave for the center of France, to discover the Moulin Bleu, an old industrial building of 1,500 m2 located in the countryside, on the banks of the Loir, and invested in March 2020, two days before the first confinement in France, by a happy band of “resilient and united” young people.
Since then, from collective work sites to open doors, this space is intended to be the laboratory of community life around sharing, the commons, more in connection with the living and the earth.
This report is part of the series in 3 episodes "Communs, communes" imagined by Sarah Lefèvre and So far so close.
A trip to France and Belgium, to meet those who seek to make "common", in order to embody and combine in the present the famous "world after".
