You will be housed in an apartment where up to 3 people can settle in 3 separated bedrooms and share a kitchen and a living space. The association provides a financial package so you can manage your food (7€ per day) and pocket money (8€ per day).

Then you will have the opportunity to get into everything we handle, like radio techniques, sport courses (yoga, pilates, ...), communication (posts, videos, ...), languages workshops (French, English, Spanish and more) and youth entertainment (blind tests, all kind of cultural and sporting activity). We also encourage civic trainings and commitment.
Participant profile
Most of all, we are looking for someone motivated and not afraid of getting out of its confort zone. Living aborad is an amazing and wonderful experience but it won’t be that easy everyday of your journey. You shall want to learn new things, create, try it and share new perspectives. You eventually will be able to take initiatives once you get used to life here. Communication and organisation skills will be promoted. You shall have a certain degree of sensibility to promote cultural awareness, even more for people who has limited access to it. Having a team spirit is something we promote daily, just like being open minded and empathic.
