Why choose a green seminar?
A memorable seminar for your employees
Bring your teams together, far from the usual meeting rooms, in an enchanting natural setting. Outdoor activities become a true source of rejuvenation and team-building. These green seminars offer much more than a simple getaway. They are an immersive experience where meetings are transformed into moments of intense creativity and heightened productivity. In these atypical locations, fresh air and inspiring landscapes become catalysts for innovative ideas and fruitful collaborations.
A break from the hectic pace
According to an ADP study conducted at the end of 2021, 64% of French employees experience stress at work. Against this backdrop, green seminars offer a breath of fresh air in this oppressive environment. They offer a long-awaited opportunity to recharge one's batteries and regain motivation and inspiration. By incorporating wellness activities such as yoga, Nordic baths and hiking, you can create a setting in which your teams can relax and recharge their batteries. These breaks are much more than just interludes in your employees' busy schedules. They are an investment in their mental health and well-being, which will result in a more fulfilled and productive team.
A seminar in line with your CSR strategy
Integrating environmental concerns into your corporate strategy is no longer an option, but a necessity. By choosing an establishment that is committed to reducing its environmental impact and raising visitors' awareness of the issues involved, you can give a truly ethical dimension to your green seminar. But the process doesn't stop there. For your event to be truly ecological, it's crucial to carefully select the venue. Labels such as Clef Verte and European Ecolabel are reliable benchmarks that guarantee your accommodation's commitment to the environment.

How to organize a green seminar?
#1 Define your seminar objective
Organizing a seminar in the great outdoors requires careful planning, starting with a clear definition of your objectives. What do you want to achieve with this outdoor event? Do you imagine a team-building event designed to strengthen cohesion and promote mutual understanding between your employees? Would you like to create memories that reflect your corporate culture, or reward and recognize the work of your teams? Or perhaps you see the seminar as an opportunity to introduce new strategies, advance a joint project or train your staff?
Another crucial aspect to consider is collective reflection on your CSR strategy. How can your company become more committed to social and environmental responsibility? Incorporating this key question into your green seminar can be both inspiring and pragmatic, aligning your actions with your core values.
By clarifying these objectives from the outset, you'll be better equipped to choose the activities, venues and formats that meet your team's specific needs and your company's vision.
#2 Choosing the right location for a nature seminar
Forget city hotels and opt for destinations in the heart of nature, whether in the countryside, by the sea or in the mountains.
By opting for the countryside, you can immerse your employees in a bucolic environment, conducive to relaxation and reflection. Why not consider a seminar on the theme of oenology, where the discovery of local wines blends harmoniously with professional discussions?
If you prefer the seaside, nautical activities, the murmur of the waves and the sea breeze will create a stimulating atmosphere for your teams. There's nothing like the invigorating energy of the ocean to boost spirits and encourage collaboration.
As for the mountains, their majestic panoramas, pure air and inspiring silence are all conducive to creativity and concentration. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, your employees will be able to recharge their batteries and find inspiration in the heart of these grandiose landscapes.
Whatever your choice, opt for a place imbued with tranquility in a friendly setting that encourages connection between your employees. Take your budget into account when making your choice, so as to select a venue that is both suited to your needs and economically viable.

#3 Think about your nature seminar activities
Activities are one of the key elements in making your green seminar memorable and rewarding for your staff. By incorporating a variety of activities, you guarantee a balance between relaxation, stimulation and learning.
To promote relaxation and well-being, consider activities such as Nordic bathing and yoga. These practices allow everyone to refocus and relax.
Sports activities are also an excellent way to energize your teams and strengthen their cohesion. From nature hikes to mountain bike excursions, these shared moments of adventure will create lasting memories and stimulate team spirit.
Collective challenges, such as escape games in the great outdoors, are unique opportunities to put your employees' collaboration and creativity to the test. These immersive games encourage communication, problem-solving and teamwork in a fun, stimulating environment.
Last but not least, don't overlook artistic activities to explore everyone's creativity and stimulate inspiration. From nature photography courses to plein air painting sessions, offer a space for expression and discovery that enriches your seminar experience.
