In order to reconnect humans with their environment, the Yuna Crew Association has set up educational and cultural tools anchored in a natural setting. With the N.E.C.T.A.R project - Nature, Education, Culture, Transmission, Art and Reasoned - born from the partnership with the city of Gattières near Nice, it provides a resource space to citizens.
