Unconventional Political Education - Mannheim City Council Member's Bold Move to Mingle with Nudists
City council in Mannheim contemplates an excursion with naturists.
Dive into the daring plans of Mannheim city council member Julien Ferrat! This bold character is organizing a trip to the French nudist and swinger village, "Village naturiste," in Cap d'Agde. The trip promises to be an exciting blend of naturist holiday and political discussions, as Ferrat seeks to mingle more closely with the citizens of Mannheim.
Whether you're a seasoned swinger or just curious, Ferrat invites everyone to join this special political education trip. The itinerary includes meetings with local tourism officials, businesses, and even swingers' clubs. The ultimate goal? Bringing a similar project to Mannheim!
Ferrat believes that this unconventional approach is the key to citizen engagement. He says, "Naked truth? There's no closer way to engage with citizens."
What's the Fuss About Cap d'Agde?
Located in southern France, the village has been stirring conversations for over half a century. From its origin as a scenic tourist attraction in the 1970s, Cap d'Agde has grown to include nudist bars, restaurants, and professional swinger clubs. Now, it's one of the main income sources for the small town, with approximately 30,000 inhabitants. Without state tourism support, the village might not exist at all[1].
Club Vitae before the Trip
To help participants prepare for the unique experience, Ferrat is arranging a "training camp with outdoor sex" at a local naturist beach. This pre-trip event aims to ensure everyone is comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead[2].
Ferrat is driven by the belief that much can be learned from the Cap d'Agde model. However, he acknowledges the challenges involved in implementing such a project in Mannheim. Despite opposition in the past, Ferrat remains undeterred and is organizing an eight-day trip for interested companions, complete with a rented hut[2].
One question remains unanswered: Will they travel together by bus or separately? What is clear, however, is that this is set to be the "most interesting educational trip ever offered to Mannheim citizens," and it will definitely create a splash[2].
