Hi Simon,
I’m a Masters of Environment student at Unimelb, I volunteered at Le Recycleur (http://le-recycleur.fr/) in Lyon, France while I lived there. Hopefully you will have a chance to visit on your European travels.

Thanks! The European phase has ended alas – writing it all up. The Lyon workshops were the subject of a Masters thesis, linked on my Publications page.
