Profil du participant
We are looking for motivated young people aged 18 to 30, especially those with fewer opportunities (economic, geographic, educational, cultural or social). The ideal volunteer is someone who is autonomous, proactive and empathetic, with the willingness to engage in new experiences, learn from others and adapt to different cultural contexts. Previous experience is not required – what matters most is an open attitude, curiosity, and motivation to contribute actively to the project and to the community. Volunteers should be ready to take initiative, work both independently and in a team, and show sensitivity and respect towards people from diverse backgrounds. (Only candidates from Wales)
