Formación durante la actividad
In addition to the ECS seminars we will offer additional training for volunteers. You will be working with the elderly, we will therefore train you to be able to accompany them and to offer them services/activities. You will also have French lessons and individual coaching time. We also propose an internal training programme on issues such as citizenship and values for our volunteers across our different missions.
